Some of the articles of interest to working mothers that we’ve seen around the web recently… A new Tumblr, It’s Like They Know Us, makes fun of stock photos of moms. The caption for this one: “Hey, girlfriend! I’m just over here at the JC Penney Portrait Studio trying to get some work done.” Here’s … Read More about News Roundup
I haven’t heard of this brand “Walking Cradles” before, but they’re highly (highly!) rated on Zappos, and these strappy 2.5″ heels are one of their top rated styles. It looks like a comfortable and versatile shoe, and it’s $94 at Zappos. (I’m also a fan of this style and this style.) Happy weekend!

A lot of women feel like they lose a bit of glamour when they become mothers — there are a million reasons for this, including that huge bag of stuff we now have to haul around when traveling with bebe. My own personal items have become so sparse that I suddenly realized, when leaving the … Read More about Everyone Thursday: Berkley Large Clutch
L, a pregnant reader, wrote in to recommend this piece: “I thought I would share with you a great blazer I just got at Target. The tailoring is really nice, it’s washable, and you can’t beat the price! I think it fit true to size and looks like I paid a lot more than I … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Merona Tailored Ponte Blazer
After I delivered my first son, I’ll admit it: I was just in the hospital gown for the entire stay. I heard the same from a lot of my friends — it can be a really overwhelming experience. As I prepared for my second son’s birth, though, I decided to buy this lovely nursing nightgown … Read More about Feeding Tuesday: Baby Be Mine Sleeveless Maternity Nursing Nightgown
I like the idea of this “maternity starter pack” — and I know I’ve seen similar but I’m blanking on where. For $76.15, this pack includes a maternity mini dress (probably more useful for work as a tunic top), jegging, legging, t-shirt, long-line camisole, and over-the-bump band (super helpful for those early weeks of pregnancy … Read More about Maternity Monday: New Look Maternity Essentials Pack
I’ve often heard this shoe come up in discussions of comfortable flats over at Corporette, and it’s one of Zappos’ best sellers, so I thought I’d post a link. Mamas, do you prefer flats or low heels to other shoes? Did your preferences change after having kids? Zappos has the shoe in 7 colors for … Read More about Finally Friday: Julianne Flat
I am seriously obsessed with Alexis Bittar’s new collection of lucite, labradorite, and gunmetal accents, and I’m loving this fabulous bib neklace. It’s wearable in pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond… it’ll fit you when nothing else will, and it’ll draw more attention to your face (and away from any bust/stain issues you may or may not … Read More about Everyone Thursday: Lucite – Imperial Noir Link Statement Necklace
How do you work through your first trimester — and keep your nascent pregnancy on the down-low? Trust me, the exhaustion of the first trimester can take you by surprise, so how do you stay productive at the office when all your body wants to do is nap? (Particularly when you’re probably not telling most … Read More about Working Through Your First Trimester
Happy Hump Day! This dress comes with longer sleeves too, but something about the proportions of the short sleeves looks best to me here. I like the bright, happy colors it comes in (blue, green, pink, as well as navy, pictured), and the fact that it’s machine washable. It was $65, but is now marked … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Knit Shirred Surplice Dress
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: scarves can be great accessories when you’re breastfeeding, nursing, and beyond. Don’t fit into your regular clothes yet? Scarves help switch it up. Have to breastfeed your baby somewhere public? Pull out a regular scarf to help give you more coverage. Pumping at the office and got … Read More about Feeding Tuesday: Spun Scarves by Subtle Luxury Bamboo Scarf
I never splurged on Rosie Pope dresses during my pregnancies, but this wrap dress looks like a great basic for work, and I like that “wash cold” laundering instruction. It even looks like it could be a great option for pumping and for the postpartum period (when you may or may not fit into your regular clothes). It’s … Read More about Maternity Monday: Jersey Wrap Dress
