Washable Workwear Wednesday: Button-Trim Split-Sleeve Top

This is a top that looks both work- and weekend-appropriate. I like that the split sleeves gives it a cape-like quality, and the gold buttons make it a little bit more formal. The description says the material is a “soft moss crepe,” which also seems like it dresses it up a little bit. I can’t tell from the photo for sure, but it looks like the front also has a draping detail of some sort. This top seems flattering, comfortable, and unique. It comes in sizes 1X–3X and is currently on sale for $53.24 at Macy’s. Button-Trim Split-Sleeve Top
For an option in straight sizes, try this top from Vince Camuto.

Is it normal for a 2 year old to beat up their dolls? I don’t mean friendly but rough play – I’m talking really violent here, like taking a toy hammer to Baby’s head. And do I stop this? I’m not really sure if it’s bad (because it might lead her to think it’s ok to treat people like this) or good (because it’s a safe way of getting out this…aggression? Or whatever it is…without hurting any living things).
Knock on wood, she has so far not been very physically aggressive with other kids. She went through a brief shoving phase when she was much less verbal, but now her teachers say she’s very good about using her words with other toddlers, and is gentle with the babies in her mixed age classroom. But for some reason at home she enjoys repeatedly slamming Baby’s head into the wall and yelling “Baby got an ow!”
Weird request – anyone have any toddler and parents yoga dvd suggestions? We’re going to try cosmic yoga on Prime, but I thought it would be a fun way for DD (3) and I to get in 20 minutes of movement during the winter. I think she’ll be more motivated if I do it with her. I could use the stretching and she’s weirdly interested in Yoga.
Whatever happened to the Week in the Life feature? It looks like the last installment was from November. Did not enough people keep submitting to carry it forward? That was one of my favorites.
i posted last week i think about my 20 month old twin who has decided it is fun to climb on our coffee table even though she knows she isn’t supposed to. we live in a two bedroom apartment, so we don’t have much extra space to keep out a pack n play, but i tried a time out last night by trying to have her sit in a certain spot against the wall and i wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry. she kept trying to get up, i kept trying to put her back down, (which in some ways i feel like gave her more attention from me) but Twin B kept trying to get in my way so that I couldn’t reach Twin A, like he was trying to protect her. it was both sweet and frustrating. any tips for an effective time out with not a lot of space and kids close in age? i like the theory of creating a “yes” space and we’ve done our best to do that given the space we have, but climbing the coffee table is one of our few “nos”
Any tips or specific recommendations for booster seats that will fit in second-row captains chairs? We just went from a 2-row to a 3-row suv (Kia telluride) and thought the captains chairs would be great for road trips with our 6 and 8 year old. Did not occur to us to try out the booster seats…and now we find that the side of the seat bumps up against the buckle and our kids can’t buckle themselves in. The receiver part of the buckle is very low in the seat and doesn’t pull out at all; if it did, this wouldn’t be an issue. Something like a seatbelt extender would solve the problem, but I’m concerned about safety of disrupting the seat belt system by adding a third party component.
This has to have come up before but I’m having a hard time finding info online. I ordered new boosters – Maxi Cosi Rotifix – because they were identified as “narrow” on the car seat lady website, but that was a post devoted to fitting three car seats across a back row, not captains chairs. Anyone dealt with this before and can offer advice?
Anyone have recommendations for craft books that are appropriate for a young 4-year-old? She LOVES doing crafts but I’m not so great at coming up with ideas. I’d prefer a book to a website. I browsed the library a bit but most of them seemed more appropriate for older kids.
Anyone have ideas for a baby gift for the second child (boy) of a close-ish friend? (We used to be close but now live far away and haven’t kept in touch as well).
Y’all I’m really ambivalent about whether to apply for a job. I’m a 7th year big law associate with a 6-month old, and am leaning toward not going the partner route but haven’t firmly decided yet. I just heard there’s an opening at the government agency I do a lot of my work before, and I have a friend in that group who says I’d have a great chance of getting it. Just not sure if now is the time… I don’t want it to seem like I’m giving up after only 3 months back at work from mat leave. Any advice?
Just read the thread from yesterday about the curly hair being brushed. My 3 year old has gorgeous ringlets, but I brush it dry every night! And then braid it so it doesn’t get tangled while sleeping, and she gets a ponytail the next day so it’s out of her face. I’ve found any other way I try to style it (leaving it down, or pulled off her face with a clip), she gets food in it, it’s in her face while she plays, it gets sooo tangled, etc. I love the curls but frankly can’t show them off much because of these issues- any other suggestions? How do other moms do it? We wash hair twice a week with conditioner.
I’m a 4th year at an intellectual property litigation group of a large firm. I’m thinking that I will eventually want to do something other than biglaw. If I move to a smaller firm, are hours / expectations any different? Do in-house opportunities really exist for litigators or are exit options more like smaller firm / government?
Can anyone suggest a specific chair or small couch for a toddler’s room? I’m expecting another child this summer and would like to move the recliner/glider from my 20 month old’s room into the new nursery. But I’m struggling with what to put in it’s place. I’d like my son to be able to sit on it on his own but also for me/husband to sit with him and read books before bed. Maybe some sort of small sofa or corner seating thing that can also handle adult weight? I thought about keeping the recliner/glider in his room and buying another one for the nursery but it seems wasteful to have two big furniture pieces that will be useless in a few years. Or maybe this is the best solution with a 24 month age gap between kids? We don’t rock/recline with our toddler now but need to be able to join him for story time. He’s still in a crib so there’s no other seating in his room at the moment. Thanks!
