I’ve long admired this simple maternity dress from ASOS — it looks grown up and flattering, but fun and versatile. And the fact that it’s $53.06 doesn’t hurt. The black seems to be sold out right now, but it’s still available in this light blue/orange belt combo, as well as a rust orange/cobalt belt combo. It’s $53.06.

(Actually: it comes in a lot of colors, as well as different sleeve styles, some marked as low as $17. Nice!)

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?
Can we play book club for a second? I made it most of the way through “Bringing up Bebe” (pretend there are appropriate accent marks there) over the weekend and really enjoyed it as an anthropological study and an easy read that validated a lot of how I feel about motherhood that is out of step with prevailing attitudes among women in my social circle. I’m going to experiment on my weeks-old daughter with that sleep training idea… I also want to move to France for the child care now. Anyone else read it?
PSA for the tall girls: Gap has a midi-length back zip ponte maternity dress with sleeves on clearance. With code, it came to $15. Reviewers say it was perfect for taller women.
Calling all moms who have used the uppababy bassinet! So, I understand that there’s a mattress, and then a mattress cover for the UB bassinet. UB customer service tells us that neither are waterproof but the mattress is “water resistant”. For those moms who have used the UB bassinet, did you also insert some sort of waterproof pad between the mattress and the mattress cover? Thanks in advance! :)
I’m not even 8 weeks, and the mom-judging has already begun! I’m part of a group of friends that does hiking / backpacking trips together, and we’ve been doing it for about 5-6 years. Well we’ve been working on a Scotland trip for summer of 2016, and I hinted that I might be bringing a little one along (would be about 10 months at the trip). Mind you, there are 30 people invited on this trip, we’re not sharing any transportation or rooms, and the hikes are at your own pace.
Mutiny ensued, and they all told me basically I was a horrible hypothetical parent and that flying with a baby is “torture” for them and you should never do it. I already spoke with my doctor, she said you can fly with them no problem, and baby benadryl helps with the ear popping. I have friends that have taken their very tiny kids on hiking adventures around the globe…but apparently I’m a horrible parent.
Dear self- your youngest is 3, and you probably aren’t going to have any more kids. Stop considering buying more items marketed as maternity wear, even if the empire waist probably would work on you.
Love, me.
Anyone else still have too much maternity wear still in rotation even though your kids are older? Most of my t-shirts are still my old navy maternity from 3-8 years ago, mainly because they are long enough for my long torso and don’t cling to my post-babies pooch. Even when I buy new ones, I keep reaching for the old ones just because I like them. I think its time for a closet purge …
Sorry for the early TJ – I’m expecting my second child this spring, who will be about 3.5 years younger than my first child. They’re the same sex, so I don’t think I need a lot in the way of clothes, etc., but I’m wondering whether there are any can’t-miss baby/toddler products that have come out in the past 4 years or so that I may have missed. I don’t need any gimmicky new stuff for the sake of buying new stuff, but can anyone recommend any game-changers that may have been introduced? (I was an early adopter of the rock-n-play, so I already have that one.) TIA!
OK, I’ll “bite” – what is slash neck? Is it the new term for “boat neck in front, v-neck in back”?
And don’t say, “Jack the Ripper’s favorite style” or, “You see it all the time on Law & Order SVU”.
