I’m a big fan of MZ Wallace for intelligently designed handbags — as are the readers — and this quilted design seems lightweight but durable. It’s 13″ x 9″ x 2″, which puts it on the slightly larger side, and it looks like a great choice for a crossbody. It has the options of a chain shoulder strap, an adjustable leather crossbody strap, and an adjustable webbed strap. The bag only has one review so far at Nordstrom, but it’s very positive, and I think this would be ideal for running errands, or if you’re OK with a crossbody for work. It’s $295 (backordered, available late next month). Crosby Quilted Oxford Nylon Crossbody

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- 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?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Just found out my friend had her baby two days ago. Best foods to drop off for the new parents? Wife is fairly flexible on food; husband tries to eat Paleo. My recollections are mostly about what was NOT helpful (things that were complicated to put together, things that were messy, things that had to be eaten with a knife and fork). What were the best things people brought you when your baby was born?
Any suggestions for sleepwear? I can tell I’m beginning to stretch out of my regular stuff, and planning to watch for sales this weekend. Wondering if I should just get additional loungewear (yoga pants + camisoles?) so it can be more versatile than just sleeping. I usually run cold, but understand that may change. Bonus points if it’s nursing compatible.

Y’all: I need help after school. I’m in a big SEUS city (kids school/activities are out more in the burbs and they have camps in the summer).
For my job, we will have to pay on the books. I’m thinking 18/hr * 4 hours/day (school 1 gets out at 3, I’d like to have to get home by 7) * 4 days/week.
We live close to a college (but those kids go home for school breaks and the summer) and a community college (where I think this may be better b/c everyone is local).
I work mainly with guys and the few people I know who have nannies stole them from a day care gig or got them from a family who no longer needed a FT nanny, so I have no idea what I’m doing.
Question about toddler sizes. My kid seems to be quickly growing out of her size 2 clothing but size 3s are still huge on her. What am I missing here? Do kids not grow at the same rate at 2 and so I can keep buying her stuff that “just” fits now and assume she’ll make it through winter? Just deal with the bagginess of 3s? I really wish there was a 24-30 months size I could order.
What is standard for year-end nanny bonus? Would you pro-rate if nanny has only been working a few months?
Au pair is working late (until 9:30) tonight and so husband and I have time for date night ahead of the holiday craziness. Suggestions? We typically just go out to dinner but honestly the last thing I need during Thanksgiving week is a big heavy meal. Is there anything else to do? We often get stumped, especially since it’s now dark and cold by the end of the day.
This purse has been on my wish list for a while.
ooh, on the topic of jewelry, where do you buy your fine jewelry? I am south asian and all of my fine jewelry is pretty elaborate and given to me from my mom. I have never purchased any on my own and I don’t even know where to start looking? I would like a couple of small pieces, maybe a modern take on pearl studs.
Let’s talk about death! We’re going out-of-state Grandma’s house for Thanksgiving. One of her two cats recently passed away and three year-old kiddo will notice. Kiddo has already been asking for kitty on FaceTime. We are non-religious, but are open to saying that kitty is in a better place if that helps ease kiddo’s feelings. I haven’t thought about how to handle this at all, so all advice welcome!
For Christmas I would like an initial necklace with 3 letters (first letter of names for spouse + 2 kids, so not monogram). I looked on etsy, but I am a little overwhelmed. As for jewelry, I tend to wear the same thing everyday so nothing too flashy or big. Any suggestions? And should I be looking somewhere other than etsy?
A coworker I’m close with just had her first baby and I’d like to get her a gift. I was thinking a PB Kids personalized blanket, but thought I’d query the crowd here first. Any recommendations for something nice <$50, give or take? Is there a higher quality option than PBK? The gender was a surprise, and I know she doesn't have any traditionally 'boy' colors/items, hence my leaning toward a blue blanket of some kind. TIA!
