When the temps start to rise, all my blazers start to feel like stifling parkas. This cotton/linen blend version is the summer-ready addition I need for my wardrobe.
This tailored, yet relaxed-fit blazer is lined and has classic details like a single-breasted closure and a notched lapel. Wear it with everything from dresses to your favorite jeans.

I’m solo with my 7 year old visiting a friend who has one infant. My kid is spirited and possibly has ADHD and can definitely be a lot, but also my friend is in a very easy stage of parenting (baby is smiling, laughing and sleeping through the night, but is not yet mobile) and I think really has no idea what many kids act like. It’s a tough mismatch of expectations and she has been kind of getting upset or being critical of my kid for behavior I consider fairly normal. Anyone have advice for how to salvage this? Unfortunately the heat index is 110 so outdoor activities are limited and we have no access to a pool.
Circling back on the Mom Hour, I love it, but I’m not a consistent listener. When did Sarah’s child tr@nsition? At least I’m assuming but I was SO confused listening to some older episodes and then some recent episodes.
On the back of the smartphone conversation below, do folks have dumb phones when their kids are out solo/with friends? We’re hoping our son will walk home, at least partway, from next year, and I’d like him to have a way to get in touch if he needed to/he wanted to go to the library instead of straight home.
We are going to Philly this weekend. Our plan is to go to Sesame Place on Saturday and the Please Touch museum on Sunday, before driving home to DC. But I’m getting a little worried about the rain forcast.
Any recommendations for other things to do in the area with an almost 2 year old if it’s raining too much to do Sesame Place on Saturday?
Is anyone else noticing more of a critical mass of parents against smartphones for kids/young teens? It feels like the tone is shifting where I am from the previous “well they need it for friends/after school and we do some monitoring” to “we will hold off as long as possible and support school bans.”
Travel Q. We’re planning a road trip that starts in Philadelphia area – Sesame Place, Lego Center (Plymouth Village) then up to Boston (have been compiling great recs over the years from here!) and for our last 1-2 days, we’d love to do something in Rhode Island-Newport or Narraganset. Any recommendations for how to do this leg of the trip? Where to stay, what to do? Traveling w/ 5 y/o, 1.5 y/o. Thanks as always !
This Friday is our nanny’s last day (we’re transitioning to preschool). I want to do something nice to show how much we’ve loved having her, but I don’t want to do flowers or food or anything annoying to carry on a bus ride home. Would a gift card be tacky?
Ugh just a vent. One of my kids has a cluster of appointments/coordination I’m dealing with. Fortunately none of it is emergent (dental appointment, eye exam, etc.), but definitely Things That Have to be Seen, just swirled together.
Reminding myself: I think it’ll be better after this week, and I’m thankful that we have good health care/resources to get this organized relatively simply.
My son turns 5 the day before Kindergarten starts. In past years, I’ve done a backyard party with a handful of his close preschool friends and our local family. Probably about 20-25 people on average. With all the kids dispersing to different kindergartens, it seems like a huge hassle to host. And it will be right before a big transition for these kids and lots of stuff that needs to get done before school starts.
Any tips on some fun lower key things we could do to make it feel special?
We will be going to the beach about 2 weeks before so we could do a special experience or something while we are there.
My five-year-old, who’ll start kindergarten next year, has an “r” distortion in her speech. It’s started to cause her some distress: she’s brought it up a few times, and last night, she began to cry as she was telling me that people can’t understand her when she says “birds” or “germs.”
A couple questions: am I right that this means it’s time to seek out a speech pathologist? And is this something that a school typically provides during the year, or is it on us? We’re in DC; she’ll be starting at a public charter school. Does telehealth work for this kind of thing? And more generally, any advice about how to find someone, or how to approach this? Any advice is much appreciated!
