Bobeau Open Front Cardigan | CorporetteMomsI like this casual, hand washable cardigan from Bobeau — it’s soft, flattering, and easy. (Their maxi skirts are also pretty great for a casual summer day.) The cardigan is $29-$42 at Nordstrom. Bobeau Open Front Cardigan (L-3)

Completely unrelated to anything, but….what’s the deal with Garnet Hill? I’d heard of them but hadn’t really looked at the website until today. Kind of looks like LL Bean/Lands End but not as outdoorsy? Are their house brand products as good as the reviews say? I’m curious…

Hi gang — looking for morning-routine advice. We have a five year old in school and a two year old in daycare. I noticed this morning that my little guy was total sunshine and light as he woke up, when we ate breakfast, etc. — but once we started getting his sister up and doing more “get out the door” things with her and my husband (DH was in the shower when I rescued DS from the crib, got him dressed and fed him) he starts to get really tantrum-y and cranky. This has become a pattern with him and I’m not sure what I can do to combat it, other than leaving a lot of time to snuggle and sloooooowly get out the door (which isn’t always possible). FWIW, he loves daycare and always runs in ahead of us at drop-off, so I’m not worried about that part — I think it’s something about the morning rush that makes him sad/crabby. Anyone else seen this happen with their own kids?

SAD POST- regular poster going anon for this. A family member is terminating a pregnancy for medical reasons. Given the stigma and second guessing that comes along with such a situation, they are being understandably vague in telling the outside world no more than they lost the baby and feel somewhat alone in this. (fwiw, family is super supportive). Does anyone have any resources (books, websites) to help them through the grieving process?

Did any of you experience a transient drop in fetal heartbeat during an ultrasound? I had my 20-week ultrasound today, and while the heartbeat was strong at 162, my doctor said that the heartbeat slowed until it almost stopped several times. He indicated that it may be because I was on my back and the baby’s position, and referred me for a fetal echocardiogram. Has this ever happened to you or anyone you know? I am trying not to freak out, but I just want everything to be ok. Thank you!

We’re going to be introducing solid foods this weekend to my 5 1/2 month old. I’d like to try making baby food to start. Do you just steam and puree a bag of green peas, for example? Or do I need a “recipe”?

Question for the hive: If both parents have 30-45 minute commutes in opposite directions (one by car and one by public transit), where does it make sense to look for daycares?

Near home might be best for spliting pickups/dropoffs and not having to commute with baby, but a place near one of our works maximizes time in the office during daycare open hours and it will be easier to pick up a sick kid, so there are arguments on both sides. Thoughts appreciated from anyone who’s been here!

I have a similar one from Philosophy I got at Macy’s and I love it!

Has anyone every done a “working interview”? I have one scheduled next week and I’m not sure what to expect. I’ve been asked to be available for an entire working day at a small NPO.
