Splurge or Save Thursday: Amber Double-Breasted Wool-Blend Jacket

I’m always on the hunt for interesting suit jackets. Here’s a luxe one from Reiss that will add some dimension to your winter whites.
This classic double-breasted jacket is made from a warm wool blend. It’s partially lined and has a single back vent. The single button on the cuffs is actually functional so you can roll up your sleeves.
I’d match it with some winter whites as pictured for a polished office look. You can even take it to the weekend with a turtleneck and your favorite jeans.
The Amber Double Breasted Wool Blend Jacket is $545 at Nordstrom and available in sizes 0 U.S./4 UK to 14 U.S./18 UK.

My three year old is officially cooler than me. He just got invited to a New Year’s Eve party by a classmate. Granted, the party consists of lunch and a ballon animal artist starting at 11:30, but getting the email threw me for a loop. No, it is not this child’s birthday.
so potentially outing myself, but i just got a text from a mom in my daughter’s preK class that the school just notified her that her daughter cut my daughter’s dress today and she wants me to send her a link so she can replace it. i’m a bit surprised i haven’t heard from the school yet, but idk how to respond to this mother’s text. i mean we can afford to buy my daughter a new dress. and in fact we have two of the dress bc she is a twin and we have two of all clothes (though this dress is a favorite so i will probably want to purchase a new one to avoid WWIII in my home). do i let this mom purchase a new one? i will also probably see this mom at a school holiday celebration tomorrow… how do i respond?
Can’t seem to find the answer on the internet or even on the frosting container… When using Funfetti frosting, do you mix in the mix-ins before stirring or do you add to the top after frosting? Seems like the answer is the latter because the mix-ins will muddy the frosting.
Do any of you have experience with boarding schools? Would you be willing to share your thoughts?
Reminiscent of some other conversations here this week, my very Jewish 4 year old came home from his very Jewish preschool yesterday and announced to me that Santa is definitely a real person according to friend X who is not Jewish and “his full name is Santa Claud but lost people call him Santa.” Without thinking I immediately said “no, he’s not,” and then quickly shifted to a more non committal “Ok, nice of friend to share that with you.” Tell me I didn’t just ruin Christmas for other preschoolers! Also, never occurred to me that I’d have to figure out how to explain the reality of Santa to my non Christmas celebrating kid! Somehow I think this didn’t come up with the older one ?!?
Apparently other parents at my kids (private) school give gifts to specialist teachers and not just the main classroom teacher. Oops. Haven’t been doing that. What’s a good dollar amount in your experience? Would be music, art, technology, library, science, so five different teachers (who teach two of my kids). TIA!
Whew! 2 hour weather delay is not the fun it was pre kids. Love the holiday season with the littles but I am so ready to be done with work!
How do you store and share digital pictures of your kids with your spouse? DH and I text pictures to each other, but there must be a better way. Is there an app we can use to store pictures? A cloud that we both have access to?
I’m having trouble deciding on a crib mattress. I would like something organic/geeenguard certified but the price varies from $150 to $600+. The baby will be using this for a while so I want something solid. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks
Alright, one of the things I intend to do with my week off between Christmas and New Year’s (besides lots of sleep) is make a few freezer meals for post-delivery. I’ve got Pinch of Yum and Molly Yeh’s lists to plan with. Any favorites I’m missing? Any things you were unexpectedly glad to have? Due in April, so appreciate any suggestions for light, fresh, unheavy stuff!
I took today off to have a day to wrap and bake and clean. Well, it’s 10:30 where I am and I’ve clocked 4 hours of work and 2 big meetings.
What Christmas movie do I put on in the background that will motivate me to step away from my work laptop and just have a nice wrapping session?
Hello from the Midwest where we got an unexpected snow day. I live in the Great Lakes region so snow is NBD. I am honestly quite surprised. My husband and I both have to work (from home), so it’ll be one of those days. Of course, I and my kids have been sick recently so it’s just more missed work time.
This has been an awful year for normalcy. We had so many Covid closures, illnesses, deaths. I am excited about the end of 2022!
Cheers to the moms who can wear a $500 white wool jacket. I am sincerely deeply impressed by you.
