Ellen Tracy Border Print Twill Fit & Flare Dress | CorporetteMomsI like a lot of things about this washable dress — the colors, the print, the high neckline, the work-appropriate length… It seems like the kind of thing you could layer with a dark sweater in fall, a light sweater in spring, and dress it up or down. It was $104, but is now marked to $62 at Nordstrom (and the same print is also available in a washable faux-wrap style for $70, was $118).

Sometime in the past few months, a commenter had a recommendation for baby food cookbooks… unfortunately, my searching skills are failing me, as all I can find is the post re: the Baby Led Weaning book. So, if anyone can recommend their baby food cookbook (or point me to the post), I’d appreciate it!

Just wanted to say that you are in my thoughts. I don’t know if the trial has started yet (or ended), and not fishing for information on this public forum!, but sending strength and good wishes your way.

Anyone have recs for eyeglass frames for pre-teens? I have a 9-year-old son whose head is too big for kids’ frames, but the adult frames at our eye doctor’s office were all too big. That office also didn’t offer different sizes in their frames – that seems odd to me???

DD’s first birthday is coming up – we survived the first year!
I would like to throw a simple party, because I really want to be able to enjoy the day and not stressed out about it being perfect. We would have about 15-20 adult guests and about 5-7 babies.
I can’t decide whether to have the party in our apartment or at the park around the corner. I feel like the adult guests would be bored at the kiddie park. Any advice?

I have two girls who are 20 months apart. For years, I’ve just thrown them in the tub together, which they’ve liked. I think it’s getting crowded and am thinking that it’s maybe time for them to start taking their own showers (how good they’ll be at first, who knows, but that’s how they learn, no?). My plan is to instruct and then to supervise more and more loosely over time. Any advice? Recommended ages where this would work better? Thanks!
