This hobo silhouette is a classic for good reason.
Coach’s sleek Brooklyn shoulder bag has a roomy interior, snap closure, and wide shoulder strap. I prefer the mid-sized style — large enough for a tablet and some snacks, but without the bulk of a larger tote. No need to swap your bag for the weekend — this versatile bag goes from office to weekend errands.
The Brooklyn shoulder bag starts at $295 for the straw version. It’s also available in leather and suede.

We’re selling our home and I had a couple of realtors come out. There’s a $40,000 spread between recommended listing prices, which is so frustrating. I don’t know which one to go with. Argh.
Is anyone here a swim parent? I have a seven year old who looooves her summer country club swim team and I’m thinking about looking for opportunities to swim other times of the year. It feels like a big commitment – but I can’t tell how much of a commitment it is compared to travel baseball or club soccer or the other sports kids get way into these days.
I’d be looking for somewhere we could swim likely twice a week, with the assumption that if it stuck that would go up (and they seem to practice a ton by high school!).
I guess I’m just curious about others experience with the sport. My oldest DD is a serious dancer and I didn’t quite know what I was getting myself into there (and I worry about high school when the kids in her pre professional program either go professional or live at the studio and somehow still do school work?) It was very much self driven to get into dance.
Second kid just likes all sports and bops around. Third kid really loves swim more than anything else and it feels a lot like when my oldest discovered dancing. I may be getting myself into a world of hurt again though!
