I have a closet full of dark wool coats, and I’d love to balance them out with this luxe winter-white peacoat.
Perfect for fall, this peacoat is made from a transitional wool/twill blend. The tailored silhouette still allows for layers as the weather cools, and the gold and tortoiseshell buttons are an eye-catching touch. This versatile coat will take you from your workday commute to weekend fall festivals.
Veronica Beard’s Amira Wool-Blend Dickey Coat is $798. In addition to heather birch, it also comes in black. It’s available in sizes 00–16.

My K-er casually mentioned yesterday that a classmate showed her his p3nis at rest time. She seemed pretty unfazed by the whole thing – tbh, she seemed more upset that the boy wasn’t being quiet like he was supposed to. She said she told him to stop it, she looked the other way while it was “out” and she told the teacher, who apparently talked to the boy. We told her she did all the right things and she should tell us and the teacher if it happens again or if he does anything else weird. Is there anything else I should do? My instinct is this is not a big deal but want to make sure I’m not under-reacting.
Right, starting solids soon…tips and opinions?
What would you serve for an afternoon birthday party for a bunch of 4 year olds and their parents? party is 2:30-4p. So far, I’m planning veggie tray, fruit tray, cookies, soft pretzels and of course cake. Oh also juice and seltzer and beer. This doesn’t seem like enough variety to me. (Several of our guests are vegan (parents, not kids), so I do want to be sensitive to that – currently all of that is vegan except the cookies and cake.)
Other suggestions? Or just tell me that’s enough for an afternoon party. I’m so used to doing a pizza birthday that it seems like there isn’t enough food without a pizza…
Thoughts on what to send a friend who just had her second baby? She lives in Reading, MA and local-ish suggestions would be welcome (I live in TX) but I’m open to any ideas. DH already set up their meal train.
i have twins in K. last night at dinner somehow it came up that Twin A and Twin B were playing with a girl from Twin A’s class (so group of 3) and someone from Twin B’s class came over and asked to play and they didn’t want to play with her so they ran away from her. I was trying to understand why they didnt want to play with her (maybe something happened where she did something mean, or she wanted to play something different, etc.) but they did not do a particularly good job of articulating that. We talked about how this is not kind and how you might feel in the reverse situation (though I’m not sure it got through to them), etc. and we generally talk a lot about being kind and inclusive, but what do I do to make sure I am not raising mean girls? I am also kind of surprised my girls are playing with each other so much on the playground as in PreK it was more sporadic, but now it sounds like every day, though it is only the 4th week of school and I’m sure that will change
Cross-post. I’m looking for a solid wood twin bed with built-in drawers for a kid’s bedroom. There is one from IKEA (the Hemnes), but I don’t necessarily love the white painted look and would prefer natural wood. Any other recommendations? The drawers are a must for storage and to prevent midnight cat attacks from under the bed and I would prefer built-ins – after-market drawers never tend to look tidy. TIA!
