This shoe from Steve Madden has been around for a long time. If you’re interested in a really well reviewed bestseller with a classic shape, a sleek toe, and a very polished profile, this is a great one to try.
It’s currently on sale for $39.90 (marked down from $91.95) at Nordstrom, but they (and Amazon) only have lucky sizes available — Zappos has many more sizes in stock. Feather Loafer
For an even more affordable flat, I’ve heard great things about this shoe from Walmart’s Time and Tru line that’s only $14.97 (also available in wide sizes!).

Looking for advice on being pregnant after a miscarriage. I am nearly 40 and miscarried this April. I am only 13 days past ovulation and got a positive pregnancy test yesterday. I am very fearful about miscarrying again. Words of wisdom?
I own this shoe in multiple colours/patterns. highly recommend. I like it with boot cut pants or skinny pants. it has significantly upped my work-shoe game as I move away from heels. very comfy!
I like this style SO much but really struggle with any shoe that has a pointy toe. If I have enough toe space, it’s guaranteed that it’ll be flopping off my heels or gaping at the sides. Skinny foot problems.
I’m a worrywart by nature, so not sure if I’m overthinking here. We’re in a major TX city that is coming down the curve. (Our COVID+ data is all over the place state-wide, but based on local data, the positive rate is falling).
We had DS (2.5) out of daycare/pre-school from Mid-March-June. We put him back early June and took him out as things surged (including cases in his class). Since the June outbreaks, his school has had 0 reported cases. I’m aching to send him back, not only for a break for us but for HIM – he’s become even more chatty and curious this summer and I feel like he’d love it. And yes, we’ve been paying in full this whole time, which is a thorn in my side. Management has mentioned at some point they do want to figure out a way to refund tuition due to the lower volumes of students.
I’ve spoken to daycare management and his teacher. The ONLY thing that gives me pause is that his class is almost brand new from what it was in January – it seems like most families have officially withdrawn, so there are kids that are new to the school, and new to the class. FWIW I didn’t know any of the other families in the class, as we were new to the area in January when DS started at the school.
Question: Should the new students issue give me any pause at all, or am I overthinking?
Other details: I’m also 22 weeks pregnant, and we have local grandparents who are typically a huge help but have been keeping distance as my Dad is in the highest-risk category due to health complications.
Can I mom brag? I’m ill and went to take a nap. My 3 year old snuck in “mama, how are you feeling? Do you need anything? Love you mama!” He is so kind and lovely, a sensitive wee soul. He keeps coming over to stroke my head and brought me a pillow.
Does anyone know where I can find a mask to fit a 2 year old without covering his entire face? I think it’s weird that they don’t seem to come in sizes – I wish someone sold 2T-3T masks or something.
I’ve been struggling a bit to cope during the COVID period and feel like I’m spiraling. I have a consultation with a therapist this afternoon – what do I need to say / think about to figure out if this will help me? Should I have specific objectives in mind?
I didn’t get a chance to comment on the Snoo posts yesterday — but I would recommend getting the “Taking Cara Babies” newborn class. She discusses how to work with the Snoo and gives really good age/development-specific advice. If your baby is younger than 2 months, I would expect to see a huge improvement in how long he/she sleeps at the 2 month age. Although we rented a Snoo briefly, we never ended up using it because of where our baby was with the course — he started sleeping 7-8 hours a night right around when he was 2 months and has slept from 8pm-6am since he turned 3 months. He also has a great napping schedule. She has very good advice.
My 4-year-old has a bit of a stuffy nose and is extra tired. He is usually in daycare W-F. Daycare only requires staying home for a cough or fever. Assuming he’s not chipper tomorrow, we should keep him home, right? I think his brother can still go, but if he passes the stuffy nose around, it will stress out and cause problems for other families. Thoughts?
DC area mom who posted yesterday about finding an in person preschool! You mentioned you are starting swim- where are you doing that? I would really love to do some lessons for my soon to be 4 year old.
any advice for a nearly 3 year old who is grinding his teeth?
