Readers have shouted out these cardigans numerous times over at Corporette, and they look great — affordable, colorful, and easy care (hand wash, lay flat). They come in regular, petite, and plus sizes for $46 full price — but note that Nordstrom comes out in new colors every season so there are always a few colors to be found on sale, some as low as $9.97. Nice! Halogen® Three Quarter Sleeve Cardigan

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?
Did anyone use a post-partum girdle after giving birth? If so, would you recommend using or avoiding any specific brands. I am leaning toward buying the cheapo Babiesrus one because I’m not sure how dedicated I will be to wearing it and don’t want to waste a bunch of money.
How do people find last minute childcare for a work day that isn’t you/a family member/close friend? Do you just go on care.com or sittercity and hope for the best?
What was your favorite baby product? Which one did you think was the biggest waste or you never used?
I wish that they had these in long sleeves.
Question – how do you evaluate a potential babysitter? We’re trying to find our first one who’s not grandma, and a neighbor (who we don’t really know personally – the recommendation came through the neighborhood online network) volunteered her college-student daughter. What questions should I ask her and what should I try to learn about her before hiring her? As far as I can remember, I’m pretty sure my parents just left us with whoever they found – I don’t think that it was a rigorous selection (it was the 80’s; people didn’t care about kids that much). Is this something that you would be super-careful about, or just kind of make sure she’s not showing up drunk or something? (We’re talking about an evening out every few months, not something daily or all-day. I have a 4 month old and an almost 3 year old.)
BTW, another neighbor suggested her 12 year old. Does that seem crazy-young to you? Apparently, she’s been through a training class and is certified (through the Y or something) to care for infants. She wasn’t available when we needed her, but I’m just curious whether that seems too young.
I’m looking for a hair product recommendation for my lovely postpartum hair. My hair is colored and curly/frizzy, so tends toward dry when at full volume. With all of the hair loss, my prior products don’t work well for blowdrying because they are too heavy, and my hair is looking oily much sooner after washing. Any thoughts are welcome!
Does it ever get better, the missing the baby while you’re at work? I’ve been back three months and it is just getting harder and harder every day. Crying multiple times a week. Part time isn’t an option and neither is switching jobs, at least for the next year. Please tell me this improves.
I really enjoyed reading the advice on the family dinners post yesterday. Does anyone have a recommendation for a menu planning service like Six O Clock Scramble or Fresh20 where there is a vegetarian option and where MOST of the meals can be made in a slow cooker?
I see that Six O Clock Scramble has the slow cooker option for some meals, which is awesome. Just curious if there are others where the majority/all of the meals can be made in the slow cooker.
Thanks!
Hi Hive,
We’ve been TTC for over a year now and I’ve finally consulted an Ob/Gyn last week. Everything is looking good, apart from my age (38) and a previous miscarriage at 35. I feel soooooo down and have such regrets about giving my career priority over starting a family. Would love to hear how you dealt with this.
Good morning moms! I’m thinking of trying stitchfix – have you all had luck with it if your wardrobe is mostly work clothes? My office is business formal but I could use help finding tops for under suits, separates for business casual Fridays, and some weekend wear. (And don’t want to put time into shopping.) Also, anyone have a promo code they could share?
