Being the Default Parent — and Asking for Help
Here’s what happened the time I tried to ask my husband to be the default parent…
Washable Wednesday: Elbow Sleeve Ponté Sheath Dress
Happy Wednesday! This machine washable ponté sheath dress has been on my radar for a while — and now it’s getting great reviews over at Lands’ End. I like that it’s available in regular, petite, plus, and tall sizes, comes in solid black as well as a textured purpley tweed and a textured white/black tweed, and is…
Nursing Tuesday: Dolman Sleeve Tee
If you’re on the hunt for a long-sleeved maternity/nursing tee, this one from Bun Maternity is winning rave reviews.

Maternity Monday: LILLEbaby Carrier

Plus, this one is good until 45 pounds, which, whoa, is for a mom much more motivated than I was (I quit babywearing when they reached 25-30 pounds!). The carrier is $125 at Amazon and Nordstrom.

I keep mod looks — cropped trousers and turtlenecks, or loose, billowy shift dresses —…
