I am a sweater hoarder. I’ve aspired to have one of those capsule wardrobes, but sweaters are my downfall.
One style I’d love to add to my extensive collection is the polo sweater. I usually don’t chase trends, but I feel this one will have some staying power. It’s office friendly, too!
Given the look’s popularity, there are several options, but I like The Reset’s Boyfriend Sweater. It comes in nine neutral and flattering colors (I like deep plum), has a relaxed cut that’s perfect for working from home (note, some comments mention it runs large), and a flattering collar to frame your face for all those Zoom meetings.
The sweater is $178 and comes in XS–XL. The Boyfriend Sweater
For a couple of more affordable options, try this Madewell sweater with a contrast collar (marked down to $33) or this & Other Stories sweater with ruffled cuffs ($89).

Hey, so my monolingual (English) 5 year old has expressed an interest in learning Spanish. Due to COVID in-person local classes aren’t an option at the moment. Does anyone have personal recommendations for online classes, either live or prerecorded, or another way to introduce the language? Unfortunately we (parents) don’t speak Spanish.
sort of a follow up to the previous post – can you look up to see where anyone made political donations? and this is now something I am grappling with – is this something I want to check for every person I support/hire? Like I’m about to engage a realtor to help us buy a home and I would prefer not to be putting money into trump’s pockets or the pockets of anyone related to Q Anon, etc. thoughts?

Our school district has been remote since last March. We never went back in the fall (only some severely disabled students who cannot learn remotely; now they are remote due to rising post-xmas numbers, which are actually doing down and our R is <1.0). There seems to be no will to go back. I was expecting to be home for third quarter, but to be at least hybrid by 4th quarter of the school year.
NOW teachers and staff are murmuring that returning in August is not a done deal and it seems that no one in leadership or our elected school board (only 1 is a current parent, most are retirees) has the will to figure this out or at least try what all of our surrounding counties have been doing since August. I am so over it. I don't want to move an hour away from my job (which I haven't been going to, but I can't get a lot of work done while trouble-shooting homeschooling and I'm just exhausted and one kid is failing most of her subjects.
Hi All:
Anyone have a recc for a maternity pillow? I am starting to get to the point where I am getting uncomfortable sleeping and spend a lot of time tossing and turning and trying to find a restful position. I am hoping a maternity pillow will help, but there are so many options and sizes. Is a full body size the best way to go? I would like to invest in one that I can use for the duration of my pregnancy and I know you wise women will have valuable insight. Thanks!
Anyone off this morning to watch the inauguration? We’ll be watching the kids presentation hosted by Keke Palmer, starting at 10am eastern. Thinking of all of you in DC, stay safe.
My perfectly healthy 26 year old cousin who works from home full time got the vaccine last week, while my 73 year old parents with multiple underlying health conditions have been told not to expect a first dose before May 1, which would mean late June before we could safely see them. I‘m so sad for my parents, who are lonely and desperate to see their grandchild (and also worried about exposure through my dad’s necessary in-person medical appts), and so angry at the unfair and haphazard way the US is doing this. I hope Biden can turn things around, but I’m just not that optimistic. I know this isn’t parenting related, but just had to vent. Thanks for listening. :/
