I realize I am not yet OUT of the diaper bag years (Harry is almost 9 months) — but it feels a bit silly to purchase MORE diaper bags at this point. Yet, gosh, this one is cute. I love that lightweight LeSportsac nylon, the lovely print, the nice big size. Ladies, how many diaper … Read More about Finally Friday: ‘Ryan’ Baby Bag
The Parents’ Budget: How Your Budget Changes After Becoming a Parent
Ladies, let’s talk BUDGET. Mine has changed after having a kid (and definitely after my second) — how has yours? Do you miss the days of being a DINK? Are you going into debt for childcare (i.e., paying to work)? Is the money coming from savings? Credit cards? If you’ve made cuts for your budgeting, … Read More about The Parents’ Budget: How Your Budget Changes After Becoming a Parent
Everyone Thursday: Wool Cashmere Blend Wrap
Am I the only one who, in winter, has been known to take my scarf off and add it as another layer to my child’s bunting? For a long time I used to keep a very thin cashmere scarf in my diaper bag anyway, just for that very reason — I even used to pull … Read More about Everyone Thursday: Wool Cashmere Blend Wrap
Washable Wednesday: Straight Leg Ponte Pants
The Nordstrom Clearance Sale has started, and there are some great pieces. This morning’s washable find: these highly rated ponte pants from Eileen Fisher. The bad news here is that there are very limited sizes, unless you’re a petite — but there’s a highly rated pencil skirt and slim pants, both machine washable as well. … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Straight Leg Ponte Pants
Nursing Tuesday: Mama Scoop Cowl Neck
As I’ve mentioned before, I think every nursing mom needs at least one or two proper “nursing tops.” They should be functional from the dual purpose of a) letting you feed your child b) without exposing your entire breast and/or belly to the world. It’s a bonus if it looks cute with jeans, trousers, skirts, … Read More about Nursing Tuesday: Mama Scoop Cowl Neck
Maternity Monday: Nursing Wrap Front Dress
This jersey dress from Mamalicious looks great for work — comfortable, functional both before and after pregnancy, and also professional — love the high neckline and long sleeves. It’s $65.40 at ASOS. Mamalicious Nursing Wrap Front Dress
Finally Friday: ‘Damian’ Pump
Oooh, nice: I like these low pumps from Charles David. The heel is only 1.75″, they have 15 mostly positive reviews, and they come in 7 colors, including this wine leather (you know I love a purple pump) and a lovely bright cobalt. They’re 50% off at Nordstrom — were $200, now $99. Charles David … Read More about Finally Friday: ‘Damian’ Pump
Everyone Thursday: One Button Soft Blazer
Banana Republic has a number of soft blazers in stock right now, but this soft blazer looks like it has promise to be that great basic black blazer to go with everything. It’s available in regular, tall and petite sizes, and is full price at $150 — but with code BRSOME it comes down to … Read More about Everyone Thursday: One Button Soft Blazer
Daycares — and Waiting Lists
How insane are the waitlists for daycares in your area — and how many layers of backup plans did you have in case you didn’t get in on time? What was your best resource for finding a good daycare worth waiting for — friends, parents’ listserv, neighbors, mommy friends, etc? When did you really start … Read More about Daycares — and Waiting Lists
Washable Wednesday: Drape Front V-Neck Top
Neiman Marcus is having some crazy sales right now — lots of nice brands marked down to mall store prices. This draped V-neck top doesn’t explicitly say it’s machine washable, but I’d be shocked if it weren’t — all of my Three Dots jersey pieces are. They’re soft and just a bit more lux than … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Drape Front V-Neck Top
Feeding Tuesday: Time for a New Bra
Here’s my $.02: even if you’re nursing or pumping for a year, you should have a new bra that fits you well, even if it’s only for date nights or the occasional outing where you really want to look good in clothes. (I always found nursing bras easier to wear with pumping, but I know … Read More about Feeding Tuesday: Time for a New Bra
Maternity Monday: Selby Maternity Blazer
Every pregnant woman gains weight differently — for me personally, I could wear my regular blazers up until almost the very end of my pregnancy (week 34 or so), beyond which point I think all people give you a pass if you’re ONLY wearing a dress or a sweater or the like. This is a … Read More about Maternity Monday: Selby Maternity Blazer
