Sweater tanks are a winter wardrobe essential — their thicker knit keeps you warm while the lack of sleeves makes for easy layering.
This mock-neck fitted tank is made from a comfortable all-seasons yarn. Add a pair of wide-leg trousers and ankle boots for a versatile look that will take you from Monday morning meetings to Sunday brunch.
Banana Republic’s Carolina Sweater Tank is $80 and comes in black, dark juniper green, and “crystal sand” (pictured). It’s available in sizes XXS–XL. Another option is this one from Lands’ End for $32.95 full price (60% off with code!) that’s available in sizes 1X–3X.

Any hacks to make bathtime easier with a 10 month old? She’s too big for the sink but we’re having trouble adjusting to the tub.
this was posted on the main page, but since it relates to what is taught in schools, thought i’d share it here as well. personally i find this completely horrifying and inappropriate https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/06/us/oakland-california-teachers-palestinians-israel.html?unlocked_article_code=1.D00.oXv-._0z6iFMtGG2k&hpgrp=k-abar&smid=url-share
Oh man. I meant to post earlier to get more eyes on this question.
My 4 year old’s sleep study results came back and he has severe apnea. This was a surprise to us because he breathes heavily in his sleep (only occasional light snoring) but sleeps through the night.
Based on the results, we’ve scheduled the removal of his tonsils, adenoids and inserting ear tubes (for a separate fluid issue).
Does anyone have any anecdotes for how their child’s recovery went and improvements after the fact? I’m both nervous for his recovery and interested if we’ll see positive behavior changes.
He is a good kid overall but can be quite whiny and doesn’t listen as well as my older child. I chalked it up to personality but perhaps the apnea is affecting his behavior as well.
Do any other parents have kids that get so caught up in their conversations with each other that they cannot hear and/or completely ignore an adult trying to talk to them? Have you figured out a strategy? I’m sure part of this is their ADHD and I love that they have someone who shares their enthusiasm about mermaids/unicorns/magic spells, but sometimes I just need them to listen for 30 seconds for me to convey something important like “the bus will be here in 10 minutes, this is your last chance to eat breakfast” or whatever and it is so hard to get them to stop talking to each other when they’re in twin mind-meld zone.
The culture shock… I’m from California, raising a kid in Scotland where all schools are religious schools. The churches are empty, but they get the kids in the classroom.
Lessons are getting pretty Jesus-heavy in the run-up to Christmas, leading to questions about the “one true god” that I was unprepared to answer at 7am. He went to school with a post-it note saying “Israel, Gaza, peace” in case they did any praying today.
Any moments of national/regional culture shock for you?
Any advice on weaning toddlers, weaning twins, or both? Mine are about to turn two and have shown zero signs of naturally losing interest — the opposite actually seems to be true. They’re both great eaters and on track on the growth charts, so no nutritional concerns. We never switched to scheduled nursing sessions per se and have always been on-demand, although given daycare schedules, it’s tended to be once in the morning, once after pickup, and once before bed, at least on weekdays. On weekends, all bets are off and I’m nursing pretty constantly throughout the day. I think this is extra tricky given the peer pressure/sib bonding factor as well; when one is nursing, the other one tends to toddle over, too. My supply is apparently steady. I’d really love for this to happen at their initiative instead of mine, and I’d be willing to stick with it to allow for that — just looking for some words of wisdom on this process. TIA!
Can you all provide any tips/guidance for finding a therapist to help us with our 5yo? I don’t think he would qualify for any services, but he’s clearly dealing with some very particular issues around being super self-conscious/sensitive. He’s not particularly reactive or physical, he has no issues in school, his attention is great, he’s just not thrilled with who he is a lot of the time. He comes by this particular issue naturally; his uncle (my brother) was very similar. Ideally what my husband and I would like is one or two sessions with a professional who could teach us some strategies for helping him cope. In your experience is this something health insurance will cover? Should we not even bother, and just pay out of pocket? I am kind of lost as to even where to start.
Tried again after miscarriage and just got the first positive pregnancy test (it’s a faint line a few days before expected period, but it’s there). Not telling anyone in real life for a while because it’s so complicated emotionally but just wanted to post somewhere where I know many get it. Fingers crossed.
For the discussion on boosters yesterday – my 6 year old is 75th percentile in height and and STILL has a few inches until we need to get him out of his Britax Marathon Clicktight FF carseat and into a high-backed booster!
