I don’t often wear skirts, but this one caught my eye.
This printed midi skirt has a clean, elongated silhouette that’s still flowy and comfortable. The smooth satin fabric has a subtle sheen and an elegant floral pattern. Pair it with your favorite summer blouse, or the matching top for a bold head-to-toe look.
The Lulo Project’s Danna Skirt is $350 and comes in sizes XS-2XL. It’s also available at Nordstrom (lucky sizes only).

This sounds ridiculous, but has anyone meaningfully lowered their daytime stress and increased their restored time as measured by the Oura ring? If so, what did you do? I can spend so much of my work days in the stressed zone and I’d love to work on bringing that down.
When did you first get shoes for your baby? Would you judge parents who didn’t put shoes on a child who is not walking yet?
I’m pretty anti-foot prison. But I feel like I’ve been getting some looks when I’m out with my (barefoot) baby. He’s less than a year old and isn’t walking yet, but he’s big for his age. Someone recently thought he was 2! And in fairness, his 18 mo sized clothes are getting snug. I really don’t want to get him shoes yet but some of the snide looks make me feel self conscious. Should I bite the bullet?
Can I get some advice from dog people? We are going to visit my SIL and her family for a week (two flights away, so a big trip). I’m excited — I really like her and the kids get along great. However, they have a dog. My oldest loves dogs, my second is somewhat freaked out by them, and the 4yo used to love them until last summer when an unleashed dog ran into the playground, leaped on her and knocked her to the ground (the owner’s response: “oh haha, she’s SO sweet, she just loves kids!”). None of them have an actual dog phobia — they will visit friends’ houses with dogs, etc — but the younger two are definitely VERY on edge around dogs.
My SIL just let me know that their dog is very into food, to the extent that she will leap up and grab it out of kids’ hands or even off their plates, and I should “give my kids a heads up” about this. How do I best prep my kids? I’m thinking of making a “we can only eat at the table” rule and telling them to never carry food around. What else?
I think overall this will be good exposure for them and am hopeful it will help with my younger kids’ dog aversion — I want them to be comfortable around dogs and my SIL has reassured me that the dog is (other than the food thing) well trained and good with kids. But I admit to being a little nervous (I also am not a huge dog fan and I imagine my kids have picked up on this a bit, sigh).
when your kid has a dispute/altercation with another kid – how do you know which “side” of the story to believe? i obviously always want to trust my child and for my child to feel like i’m on their side because I want them to be able to come to me. but i also know that when kids are worried about getting in trouble, they might not be the most forthcoming.
Anyone have recommendations for how to spend a few days in Vancouver in the summer? It will be me, DH, DD11, DD8, grandparents, sibling, 13 year old niece and 11 year old nephew. We’re staying in what looks like Downtown Vancouver/Davie Village/Yaletown area.
Do your kids use toddler pillows, and until what age? My 2.5 year old twins have flat toddler pillows. I’d like to switch to wool or fully cotton pillows. They’re about $50 each. My preference would not be to spend $100 on pillows that will only be used a short while, but I also don’t want to screw up their backs or necks or create any type of safety issue.
For those of you who used a little standalone potty for toilet training, how did you transition off of it after your kids were trained? How long did you use it?
My daughter can use a normal toilet when we are away from home without problem, but refuses to go in the normal toilet at home. I’ve now gotten the drop down kid seats for the toilets, hoping that would help but it didn’t. I am getting really sick of cleaning out the little potties, but can’t get her to go on the toilet.
