WFH Friday: Classic Cashmere Zip Hoodie
This post may contain affiliate links and CorporetteMoms may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
When I work from home, I want to be casual and comfortable but able to jump on a quick Zoom call without having to change.
Yes, this is technically a hoodie, but cashmere takes it from weekend to work-from-home. The two-ply cashmere for this warm and soft hoodie is sourced from Inner Mongolia. It features a full-zip placket and front pockets and comes in nine pretty colors. (I’m liking fig heather, a dark red, or cream.)
It’s perfect for those quiet Fridays in front of your laptop, and evenings in front of a cozy fire.
The sweater is $179 and available in XS–XL (some sizes sold out in certain colors).

- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?

We are hiring our first nanny and we’re complete rookies at this. We’d prefer to pay “on the books” but competition for nannies is fierce in our areas and I feel like most of them ask to be paid cash and we’ll have to go with what they want. Am I correct that this means I can’t use the dependent care FSA? (Looks like you have to provide the nanny’s SSN.) If we find one who agrees to paid “on the books”, any tips on how to do this? Some we have talked to say they expect a gross up if we pay on the books so the after tax is the same as their requested hourly rate.
Also, do you typically draft your own contract for them to sign?
We got notice last night of a positive covid test in my kid’s class. A week before we were scheduled to visit my grandparents for the first time since Thanksgiving 2019, because of course that’s the timing. Tentative plan is PCR test today (regularly-scheduled weekly surveillance testing for the class), PRC test on Tuesday (day 5 from last exposure) before we leave, and daily at-home tests while we’re there. Depending on their comfort level, I guess we just hang out at the air bnb and wave at everyone through the window or yell across the yard at each other? I’m pretty bummed.
First, I’m the mom with sick twins and I wanted to say thanks to everyone who offered encouragement yesterday. Now, can you help me re-sleep train? Twin B has woken at 3AM every night for the last six weeks. He’s been sick, but he’s feeling better now and is just waking out of habit (no discernible sound or light triggers). Pediatrician encouraged me to sub water for formula at night. Ideally though, I’d like him to get back to STTN (had been since 4 months). Any tips? He gets a full jar of baby food and a formula bottle right before bed so I don’t think he’s hungry. Bedtime varies from 6:30-7:30PM – is that too early? Too late? Any help you can provide is appreciated. He’s waking Twin A and his older brother (and us parents) and everyone is just kind of miserable.
Seeking advice for how to best help a good friend who is going thru a divorce and has an 18 month old. She is in DC, I’m in Atlanta, so physically “being there” for her isn’t in the cards at the moment. Ex husband/dad is in the Midwest. He comes from lots and lots of money (like family has a private plane money), but seems to just like not really care about his daughter or establishing any kind of meaningful relationship with her. He has flown in for a few visits – getting in at 10:00 am to DC and then leaving to fly back at 3:00 pm that same day. I don’t know the details of how money was handled during the divorce, as they were only married for 3 years and no clue if there was a pre nup. So, what is the best way for me to be supportive to my single mom with a full
Time job friend? She’s currently living with her mom and her two brothers are close by and all get along, I just feel like I could be doing more but don’t know what that is. TIA!
