I work in a pretty casual office — and if your office dress code is equally relaxed, this denim blazer from Gap is a great choice for spring.
This jacket is made from structured, no-stretch denim that will get softer with every wear. The traditional cut features a notched collar and split hem in the back. The medium wash goes with everything. It’s even made from 5% recycled cotton and part of Gap’s water saving Washwell program.
This denim blazer is $128 full price — but 20% off today with code — and comes in sizes XXS–XXL as well as petite and tall.

I have an almost one year and finally feel like I can start adding things to our lives that aren’t just the basics to get through each day (the logistics of going back to work was very tough for me). I drove by our neighborhood park during today on an errand and saw a group of 10-15 moms chatting and their kids playing together. I’d love something like that but obviously weekdays aren’t an option for me. Do moms meet up like this on the weekend? Can you just join in one day and introduce yourself or is that weird? I’m not much of a Facebook user but maybe I need to start looking for activities there. Any tips for making mom friends would be great!
Starting to think of holiday travel plans — any ideas where we should go for Christmas week with two 75-year olds, DH and me and our 4.5-yr old? Last year we rented a condo on the beach in Destin, and while it was fun it was a little too cold for swimming. Things we’d prefer: 3 bedrooms, fairly good food nearby, nice walking opportunities (like a beach boardwalk or nature trails or something). The old folks are big walkers.
Any recommendations for family friendly hotels in the south of Portugal? Kids will be 7 and 3.
What is everyone reading and enjoying with their kids these days?
I picked up the first in the Brownstone’s Mythical Collection series recently, and had to order the rest from the library immediately because we liked them so much.
And we have the audiobooks of How to Train Your Dragon on repeat over here.
My MIL told me two of my husband’s favourite books, and boy, is 1980s British kidlit depressing. Neglectful parents galore.
I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed at the idea of having 4 families over for a backyard pool party because I dont know what to serve for food. we have a grill but neither of us really grill much and I’m not sure what kind of food would allow us to enjoy everyone’s company and not be stressed about hosting. I should probably do pizza beer wine salad but I’d like to put forth more effort but maybe I shouldnt.. we went over to one of their houses and they had served amazing food with multiple sides and smoked brisket. any ideas??
Just wanted to say thank you to whoever recommended JoJo Makoons: The Used To Be Best Friend. My daughter and I have both been really enjoying reading it together. It really has everything she is intended in – cats, friend troubles, a protagonist who is struggling in school a bit, and the writing is actually good (so much kid fiction is just mind numbingly dull).
Chicago recommendations? Hotels/museums/food? DH is going for a conference and I’m tagging along, I’ve never been. I feel like there is a place to stay that everyone on here tends to recommend but can’t remember the name.
I “started” a remote consulting job four weeks ago. My first day, said the project I was supposed to start on didn’t have a budget for me (an analyst), so wait and they’d put me on a new one. They’ve done that two more times since, most recently yesterday. My boss said “well our client didn’t sight the agreement so I’m looking into another opportunity for you.” I need to look for a new job, right? I’m so disappointed. This was the perfect job for me but it seems like they don’t have any actual work. I guess if it sounds too good to be true it is.
Potty question. Has anyone had a situation like this? My 5yo DS, who has been potty trained since 3yo, has been peeing inappropriately the past two days. Last night, he sat down fully clothed on the rug next to the tub before bathtime and peed (as in, next to the toilet) and then this am woke up, said hi to me, then went BACK into his bed and peed again, in his pjs and soaking his sheets. It’s so strange to me. I can’t think of any big life changes or anything that would be upsetting him, he isn’t complaining or acting like he has any kind of illness/infection, and it is not while he is asleep or anything. I think it’s just boundary testing. Any suggestions? (DH and I were pretty calm considering, just had him help us load the dirty things into the wash. We tried asking him what was going on and he just deflected and acted silly, no really answer or indication of why.)
RugsUSA! We have a couple of rugs from there and they have held up surprisingly well. A quick search suggests there are a couple of cute ones.
Any recs for a rug or rug brand where we can get a bright rainbow pattern? We are decorating my preschooler’s new room, and this is his one request. Ruggable has something, but the colors are quite muted. Bonus points for washable and flatweave. It doesn’t have to be a workhorse as I suspect he will get over rainbows sometime in the next five years. And for that reason I’d rather not spend $$$. 6×8 or 9×12 could work. TIA.
