If you’re like me, a 2.5″ heel is about as high as it’s getting these days (although, honestly, even when I was younger, the 4″ heels had to be pretty special to make it onto my feet). Anyhoo: these Bella Vita pumps come in a zillion colors (fine, 12 colors), have mostly good reviews, and are priced $89-$100. The pictured shoes, in a croc-embossed metallic leather, are $95.99, available in N, M, W, WW sizes 5-12. Bella Vita Wow Kitten Heel Pump
Ooh: note that Amazon has a bunch more colors, some marked as low as $19; 6pm starts at $39 but has different colors (I think the tan ostritch is great).

I recently transitioned from bottle feeding my newborn to nursing. LO was 4 weeks premature and was in the NICU for a week after birth. He is now 5 weeks and learned to latch last week. He nurses for hours sometimes, nonstop with only brief periods where he falls asleep only to wake up within 1-2 minutes hungry again. This went on for 3 hours last evening (he had wet/poopy diapers during this period and the pacifier would not soothe him, so I know he was hungry but also getting fed). Its exhausting and I was starving by the end of it. I finally caved in and gave him a bottle of pumped milk so I could eat dinner and he drank and fell asleep. Is this cluster feeding? If so, what healthy snacks did you keep on hand to get through these marathon nursing sessions and/or the newborn days generally?
Just looking for affirmation here-it’s okay to not have a birthday party for my 3 year old, right? He’s turning 3 next month and for the last two years we’ve been spoiled by his birthday happening the same weekend as an extended family/rent-a-house vacation trip. We’ve done cupcakes and sang happy birthday. I am planning on bringing cupcakes to daycare, because he likes that when it happens for other kids birthday, but my husband and I really just want to go for a fun short hike, maybe play at a playground and sing to him with a cupcake. He likes other kids’ birthday parties and hasn’t asked for a party, but I’m not a terrible parent, right? We’ve though about doing something low key at the park, but organizing still seems tiring. We live about 4 hours from family so it would just be local friends. The family get together is now a picnic the next weekend so we’ll see family close in time. It just all seems exhausting.
Is there anyone else out there who hasn’t dramatically changed the way she dresses after having a kid? I understand that at a certain level you have to be practical, but posts like this — wear low heels! and the one with the chambray capri pants (for chasing after young kids!) and all that… it just makes me a little bit sad.
It seems like so much has changed after having a kid that it gives me at least one thing to cling onto that I haven’t really changed how I dress. That said, I think the shoes are cute and would totally wear them. But not because I’m a mom, (so obviously I’m going to wear low heels, because That’s What Moms Do).
And on a related topic, has anyone had either baby blues or some kind of meltdown in the latter part of your child’s first year of life? My daughter is 8 months old and everything has been totally fine up until now… but it’s really hitting me all of a sudden how different my life is. I cried for three hours straight last night and keep tearing up today, which is really unlike me. What on earth?
