This is a pretty blouse with nice details. I like that the stripes are vertical in the front and horizontal in the back, with a contrast of horizontal stripes in the front on the buttons. I also like the button detail on the sides near where the splits are. The combination in style of a collared blouse and tunic makes it look more comfortable than a typical button-up.
This seems like a flattering top that’s easy to wear, with fun details that keep it interesting.
The shirt, which is from Foxcroft, is $98 at Nordstrom and is available in sizes 14W–24W. Anya Stripe Non-Iron Cotton-Blend Tunic Blouse
This top is a nice option from Foxcroft in straight sizes and is $79.

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
It’s time to order kiddo some new pjs. How do HA and Primary compare to Gap, quality wise? Most of his pjs are old hand me downs from Gap, but I think their quality has declined recently. Kiddo is 28lbs and 32 inches tall. He’s small, but with a little belly and no butt. I have no idea how HA or Primary run but I would order based off his measurements. Thanks in advance.
Distance learning best practice:
My son’s school gave them all timers when they passed out school supply baggies to all of the kids before school started. Before each break, the teachers tell them how long to set the timer for (the length of the break minus 5 minutes) and he sets it every time. So simple but so genius. I don’t think it would work as well if I had just gotten him a timer, but the fact the teachers remind them to set it is so helpful.
Hi, in case you need a smile today:
My 2nd grader’s virtual school actually assigned a Go Noodle dance routine to Bye Bye Bye as their “PE Challenge.” For real. He is killing it!

Hello! I’m new to the moms site (15 weeks pregnant) so forgive me if this is an over-discussed topic, but I would love to hear from other moms on the best way to go about daycare/preschool research! I recently moved to a fairly small city (~200k population) so there aren’t an overwhelming number of options, but I also don’t know many people here to ask for guidance. Are there any good online resources to use to compare quality?
Talk to me about bunk beds. Are they a good idea? Are IKEA ones decent? We have a 2.5yo and a 4.5yo (currently in crib/toddler bed) so realistically we would not implement said bunk beds for another year. They already share a room.
I’m placing a big Ikea order soon (we don’t have one near us so we get a big bunch of things shipped every couple of years) and am considering adding a bunk bed to the order for future use.
Y’all. My 10-year-old keeps turning down the volume on his distance learning. He is sitting there watching, but he keeps turning off the volume. Sigh. I think I’m going to have to put a nest cam in his room for school hours.
Whenever there are nap questions, I often wonder “Can you imagine being so well-rested that you just can’t nap?” My kiddo’s naptime is about 1:00-2:30. She usually wakes up closer to 2 than 2:30 but lays there and rests nicely until her Okay to Wake clock goes off. And I constantly think “I just can’t imagine being so caught up on sleep that I just don’t want to nap anymore.” Yay, adulthood!
Hit me with your best advice on potty training poop regressions. My 2.5 yo potty trained a few months ago, struggled initially with some constipation/withholding, we got past it, and then after being back in daycare for a month or so with no problem, poop accidents started. In consultation with the pediatrician, we did a Miralax cleanse over the weekend. However, we still hear it’s an “owie poop” and it takes multiple tries of sitting for a suuuuuuper long time to produce anything at home. At school it’s “I have to poop” usually means an accident (a small one). It seems behavioral at this point, but any advice on working through that? I’ve got a pretty stubborn child with no patience, which doesn’t help-reading books to stay on the potty on partially works, plus seems to be more distracting than anything else. I think school is too distracting for long potty sits, which is part of the problem… But I am so tired of cleaning gross underwear.
Thoughts on getting rid of the sleep sack welcomed! My nearly 19 month old still sleeps with pjs and a sleep sack and sleeps SO good. I’m worried if I disturb his normal, we will regress in sleep….but maybe I’m too worried? When did you transition to blanket? He also sleeps with a few lovey type items and then I have a blanket draped over the side of the crib that he usually grabs at some point too. However, it never stays on him, so I’m worried he’ll be cold with winter coming.
Looking for ideas for 2.5yo nap struggles. She still needs it because on the days she doesn’t, she is a wreck by late afternoon and can barely stay awake at dinner. She’s still in a crib, so we put her down every day but she will stay awake talking and singing. We have told her it’s quiet time and we give her books to “read,” which she’ll do but she won’t sleep. We’ve left her in the crib for 1.5-2 hours and she’s stayed awake. She does fine with napping every few days, then we’re back to skipping it. We have blackout shades and the days she does nap don’t seem to correlate to more activity in the morning.
Has anyone seen a baby flat cap / driving cap available in a brick and mortar store?

My 2 year old and 4 year are a constant train of requests to go potty as soon as they go to bed. The 4 year old can go by herself, which we make her do so it doesn’t turn into a social event, but I suspect the 2 year old (who we just potty trained) is following her lead to use the potty as a request for a visit. But since we just potty trained, I feel like I can’t ignore it! It makes for an exhausting hour of in and out, in and out, with very little actual potty action. Suggestions?
