I originally saw this sweatshirt on influencer Grace Atwood of The Stripe. With all of the “fast fashion” and copycat styles, it is rare that you can tell when something like a sweatshirt looks luxurious, especially online. This sweatshirt looks restrained in its design, and looks as though thought went into the fit. I like how there’s no band at the bottom, and the back is slightly longer than the front. My other favorite detail is how the drawcord compliments and matches the color scheme. I love “varsity orange” for a color punch and “frost” for a sweatshirt I’d wear every day. If you splurge on one piece a season, I recommend this! The sweatshirt is $168 at ToryBurch.com. French Terry Chevron Hoodie

Very sorry to bring up a repeat topic, but searching is not yielding enough results to help with what I’m looking for.
What do you pay your full-time nanny? Does your rate change if you go on vs. under the table? We’d like to pay on the table and not sure if/how that factors in to setting the rate…having a nanny is new territory for us. We’re in the outer suburbs of a HCOL city with one toddler. Our nanny has some experience and has told us to ‘pay us what we’re comfortable paying’. Currently paying $18/hr under the table as a temporary, part-time pandemic babysitter but we want to bring her on full time. $20/hr feels low on an annualized 40 hours/week basis and $25/hr is definitely pushing the upper limits of our budget right now (hoping that will change once the economy gets a reboot at some point in the future – one of our jobs is very tied to the financial markets). We want to be fair, of course. TIA.
can someone help me think of an analogy or point to an article to help me explain the concept of cumulative risk to my dad regarding Covid. i know it is something we’ve talked about on here a lot with people deciding to send their kids back to daycare, but then choosing not to do other things to mitigate risk, etc. My dad has decided that since he has to go to the dentist, which is considered a risky covid activity, minimizing risk in other areas don’t matter as much. His reasoning makes no sense to me, so i would like to try to explain this to him.

… and replies are not threading.
Anyone else having trouble viewing this site on a browser (I use chrome) but ok on mobile? Kat, would you be able to look into this?
i am too!
Honest and sincere question here that I feel like I can’t ask in real life: I’m expecting and struggling to come up with a name. Is there a consensus abut using a traditionally Jewish but fairly mainstream name (Asher, for example) for a non-Jewish child? — In other words, is it offensive/wrong/etc., or totally fine and I am overthinking this?
In Firefox on my computer and in Safari on my iPhone, there is a lot of white space to scroll through before you get to the first blog entry.
I load the home page and then have to scroll way to the bottom to see the very first post. So at first glance it looks like nothing is posting (a blank white page + banner) but then when you scroll it’s way, way down. I’m on Chrome. This has been happening since yesterday afternoon.
For anyone who had one kid, and was on the fence about whether to have another one, what did you do with all of your baby stuff as your child outgrew it? Not necessarily clothes, since those are small, but bigger, (and potentially) more expensive things, like you bassinet and infant car seat? While I’m 80% sure we’re going to have only one kid, I don’t want to give away a $400 perfectly good infant car seat, but I also feel weird about keeping it since I’m pretty sure we’re one and done.
It looks very strange on Chrome (laptop). I have to scroll all the way down to find posts. Replies are not threading.
We stored the stuff until she was 2 and then started getting rid of things as she outgrew them. We would have had to rent a storage unit to keep all the stuff once we took down the crib. We decided we’d rather spend money replacing the things on the off chance that we decided to have another child than spend money to store them and then be stuck with a bunch of nasty old stuff that had been in storage for years. We passed along some of the nicer things to friends and family, sold a few of the big-ticket items and put the money in her college account, and donated the rest.
Won’t load on my chrome desktop! Had to do gymnastics to get here.
We are moving states, and driving with our kids – it will be about an 11-12 hour drive before stops. It’s going to be a disaster, I know. Kids will be 4 months and 2.5 years. What suggestions do you have, especially for the 2.5 year old? We’ll stop as much as we can in spots with open grassy areas to let her run around and get the wiggles out. In the car, what would you suggest? I’ve seen those little traytables that go over the carseat to help keep crayons and paper and such – is that worth bringing? She is still rear-facing if that matters.
