This pattern also comes in a blazer, dress and pants (all machine washable!) — but for some reason it’s the skirt that is speaking to me. It looks very Brooks Brothers, but for Lands’ End prices (and did I mention that it’s washable)? Love the double vents at the back, the comfort “contour” waistband, and the stretch lining. It’s $69 full price, but you can take 30% off your order sitewide today with code FRIENDSHIP and pin 2203; it’s available in regular and petite sizes 2-18. The Lands’ End Wear to Work Pencil Skirt
(Oooh, the skirt also comes in solid black, gray and navy for $59, full price.)
(Psst: is anyone else bummed that Lands’ End closed their amazing discount section, “On the Counter”? Sigh.)
(L-all)

Speaking of insurance, who do you insure with? We don’t qualify for USAA. Using Northwestern Mutual now, but it’s pricey. Healthwise, we should qualify for preferred rates.
Hi everybody! So, thanks for the emotional prep for being on Mag. I spent yesterday with zero sleep and on a Mag drip and luckily- I was prepared for it to be so much worse.
My comment to my nurse as she was taking me off was, ‘Man, that will NEVER be a popular street drug.’
So baby decided to cook for one more day, but every day I am prepping myself that today might be a birthday!
Thoughts about life insurance? My company automatically covers me for $25k. I have one infant son and a spouse who can earn a $100k+ income. I think life insurance is unnecessary. Also because my son has two sets of financially comfortable grandparents, who I am sure would help cover any shortage in the event I was not around. My husband’s thought process has always been to insure a minimal amount (~$100k) to pay off any medical/funeral expenses, and pay off the mortgage. What I read online says parents of a young child should be insuring the parents’ lost life-long earning potential. What do y’all do?
I noticed this morning that one of my kiddo’s bottom teeth is starting to turn sideways. She is 21 months old, and cutting her canine teeth – should I ask her pediatrician, or just take her to a pediatric dentist straight away, or do nothing and continue monitoring the situation? I’m a little hyper because I had horribly crooked teeth as a kid (8 years of braces, yo), and I don’t want to over-react.
Milk with solids is how we did it. An open cup will be really messy at this age. My two year old can still barely figure them out. There are lots of good straw options, and we stayed in that realm.
We ran out of formula this week, so we are unexpectedly transitioning to cows milk a few weeks early. Can any of you wiser, more experienced moms tell me whether we should be serving her milk as a standalone meal, as we did with her formula, or whether we should just give her solid meals, and offer her milk to drink along with them when she is thirsty? Also, have any of you had success transitioning to an open cup rather than going through a sippy cup phase? My daughter is already a great straw drinker, and I have heard that sippy cups are not great for speech development. Thanks in advance!
