I’m always on the hunt for pants that can go out in public but feel like a night in.
Athleta’s Brooklyn Ankle Pant is a best seller (over 8,100 reviews!) for a reason. These pants are made from a lightweight, recycled poly/spandex blend. They also have a rib knit waistband and stretchy side panels for comfort. The semi-fitted cut works for commuting, the office, and around town. It comes in 10 colors (some in sale) so you can find your perfect pair.
The Brooklyn Ankle Pant is $54.99–$89 depending on the color. It comes in sizes 00–26, as well as tall and petite sizes.

Follow up on being frustrated with my spouse for carrying the load while he’s still recovering from COVID.
Just acknowledging how much it sucked that I wasn’t able to rest and recuperate helped me be kinder. I also finally am back in the office and kids are back at school and childcare so everything is better.
Thank you all hive for just… listening.
Today is the first day of school. I enjoyed the quiet house but am dreading the inevitable restraint collapse meltdown when they arrive home. Sigh. Wish me strength.
Re: the discussion the other day about moms not getting complimented as much as dads, I traveled alone with my 4 year old over the holiday weekend and got several compliments from people on my kid’s behavior (which was better than average, but not angelic) and my parenting. It really meant a lot to me and reminded me that I should compliment other moms more.
I remember a while ago there were recommendations for soothing (preferably slightly boring!) bedtime podcasts. Something about a train one… Does that ring a bell for anyone? Kiddo loves podcasts at bedtime but is hooked on ones that are waaaaaaay to fascinating and result in staying up too late. My efforts to find calm/meditative-type versions have failed. Hoping someone here has better ideas!
Does anyone have a specific recommendation for a kids weighted blanket? Probably looking for something around 5lbs, kid in question is 4.5. Thanks!
Best kids headphones for long flights? They are 5 and 3. Also looking for recommendations on suitcases, games, shows that dont need wifi and audiobooks for this age group.. It’s a long international flight so I’m not sure my 3 year old can be trusted to wheel his own bag depending on how tired he is? Thoughts?
My 5 year old asked for his own luggage. We rarely travel but I’d love to hear some recommendations for kids’ luggage.
My 2 year old has been waking up between 2 and 3 am and staying awake until 5 or 5:30. I’m out of ideas. It’s like he thinks it’s morning. If I ignore him, he will scream and cry and wake up the whole house. If I bring him into our bed, he’s pretty quiet but squirms around playing. He goes to bed around 8pm so I can’t imagine he’s getting too much sleep.
Any ideas? I’m wondering if this is just a phase we have to live through but ugh, I am tired.
I have two pairs of these pants in black and wear them for work and play. Highly recommend.
Does anyone have a hybrid Sienna that is also AWD? I have an Odyssey and am looking to replace it in the next year and am looking at other minivans. I like the Odyssey but am in a more mountainous area that gets winter, so considering the Sienna due to AWD and hybrid to save on gas (and in an era of brownouts, I like that it is gas-electric). Family of 5 tall people and a giant dog, so Telluride seems a bit tight for when we have maximum need and don’t want to use 2 vehicles.
A co-worker (not in the south) is on some GWTW-I-am-a-southern-Belle kick. And is planning to name her latest . . . Magnolia.
