I love denim skirts, and here’s one that will work for a more casual office.
This pencil skirt has a wrap silhouette, tie waist, and an off-center button front. It hits below the knee so you can wear it with tall boots now and sandals later. Add your favorite button-front shirt and even a suit jacket for an office-friendly look.
This skirt from Ann Taylor is $109 (check for frequent sales). It comes in sizes 00–18 as well as petites.

What is a good age for a kid to start karate, to where he gets something out of it? My almost 5 year old wants to (older sister does it) and trying to figure out if starting him now or wait a little

Hopefully a fun question. Would these be more versatile in silver or cream/brown? For work. I already have a pair of brown shoes and a pair of black. My wardrobe is mainly sheath dresses and full length, straight leg pants in black and navy.
Low stakes question! I have been using the same two ingrid and isabella nursing bras around the house since…well, my kids are 4.5. They are just comfy because no underwire. I am sort of toying with just buying two more to be my work from home bras, but I suppose I could go with non-nursing bras? Just having a hard time finding something that is sort of a half-sports bra but way more comfortable, they are also weirdly not terribly frumpy on me which I like. Anyone else do this and want to make me feel not weird? Or, have good suggestions?
I’m stuck: what are you best gifts for a 10 year old girl? Not a big reader, not super into art or sports. TIA!
Y’all I need help. I have a 4 1/2 year old who is so incredibly slow at all routines—getting shoes on, brushing teeth, changing clothes, etc. It’s making us late and making me miserable. I ended up losing my cool this morning and now I feel bad. I’m at a complete loss. Any ideas? I’ve tried bribes and threats (I know, not the best practices) but nothing has worked. We are constantly late. It takes us an absurd amount of time to get out the door, and this is not going to work when he is in kindergarten and has to be there at a set time.
We have similar issues with bedtime too. Any ideas??
Ugh so my 3-year old had a stomach illness for a couple of days last week, which morphed into a fever/runny nose/cough (now he’s perfectly fine). Somehow my husband got the stomach bug part of the illness, and I got the fever/cough part, and we’re trying to stay separated so we don’t swap. Is this even a thing, or did my son get two different viruses in a row and pass one to each of us? Either way this is the pits.
Ok. I love my husband and we are not going to get divorced, but one of our bad deals is scheduling and I just need to vent. DH is mad at me because I “didn’t tell him” it’s spring break next week, so now we “can’t do anything fun.” First of all, spring break has been on the calendar in giant neons blue letters since January 4. Second of all, I reminded you FIVE times it’s spring break. You don’t listen! And since I knew this I already have a bunch of stuff planned that doesn’t involve you, bro.
I’m trying to get my bearings on post-baby birth control options so I can think about it before the sleep deprivation sets in. I was on the pill for 6 years before going off to TTC this baby, and probably want to wait 1.5-2 years before TTC again. I do have a family history of breast cancer that makes me wary of yo-yoing on and off the pill, but I’m open to pretty much whatever (nothing very interesting in my reproductive health history). Tell me what you used and how it worked for you?
Any ideas for gifts for a 9-soon to be 10 year old girl? We’re seeing my niece at Easter and I’m stuck. She’s not much of a reader or artist.
Has anyone childproofed low windows on a second story? I’m planning on having a handyman install a set of bars but appreciate any recommendations!
