I cannot believe that back-to-school season is here! Here’s a fun skort from Athleta that’s perfect for the sporty child in your life.
This wrap skort is made from a soft and stretchy fabric and has a never-ending drawcord for a customized fit. The lovely thing about skorts is that your kid gets the look of a skirt with the coverage of built-in shorts so they can run, jump, and play comfortably.
Athleta Girl’s Goal Getting Skort is $49 or $45, depending on the color (there’s one on sale for even less!). It comes in six colors/patterns and sizes XS/6 to XXL/16.

School is asking for dismissal info for our incoming kindergartner. We apparently can’t change it for the first two weeks, after that we can change it but it seems like it’s a complicated process (involving notifying teacher + principal) and not something we can or should be doing on a daily basis. This seems rigid to me – we had hoped to use aftercare only 2-3 days per week, and on the days we pick up directly from school, we planned to sometimes walk and sometimes drive. I realize most people are all or nothing on aftercare, but I imagine a lot of people switch between walking and driving based on the weather? Am I way off base here? Does the teacher really want constant emails from me about our dismissal plans (the kids will also have labels on their backpacks that mention how they’re being dismissed). It seems like so much unnecessary communication, but I’m new to K-12 school so maybe this is normal….
Any tips on managing your own anxiety when a kid is struggling? In our situation, third grader who’s always had struggles with anger management and anxiety has just escalated a lot this summer with troubles both at home and at camp (nearly got expelled) and my spouse and I are both having a really hard time (irritable, not sleeping well, hard to focus on work). We are just so worried about him that it’s hard not to engage in catastrophic thinking. Already getting some help and looped into pediatrician to start referrals process for more help; this has been an issue since he was one, but man it’s been a hard summer. How do you focus on other things when you are worried about a kid?
Thanks to Anon for your response to my post last night.
I think there’s been a root cause of a lot of things – the biggest being providers that seemed too aggressive/I didn’t fully trust, on top of a specific a stressful postpartum period, and a kid who moves at his own pace which is a fine one, just different than his older sibling.
I just really need to sit with this.
I have made it to Friday of my first week back from maternity leave as a full time working mom of two. wooo!
Just needing to rant to some internet strangers who likely get it.
36 weeks pregnant with our second child and it feels like things aren’t wrapping up like I want them too, my to do list just keeps getting bigger and I’m so stressed.
Baby’s also breech this time and I know trying an ECV and getting a c-section isn’t the end of the world by any means, but it’s just adding to my background stress.
I’m so frustrated that all of this is on me as the woman. My husband is great, knows I’m stressed and will happily jump in anytime I ask for help. He just doesn’t inherently get it and views this as “everything will be fine” and “we have time off coming up soon”. No, babe. YOU have time off. I have several months of recovering from a major medical event after the marathon that was fertility treatments and pregnancy.
Ugh, thank you for letting me get that off my chest.
