I really like this elevated version of a tee shirt. It looks easy to wear, comfortable, and flattering. I love the wider V-neck that has a border that leads to the buttons. The easy cap sleeves are nice and loose. From looking at the various color options, the model wearing the “sandy cove” version looks to have a larger size for her frame, and the sleeves are more fluttery.
I like it both ways — sized up for a relaxed fit, or more form fitted. It’s nice to have a linen top on hand for the summer, and this one fits the bill for me. It is $34.50 at Ann Taylor Loft and is available in regular and petite sizes — but right now you can get 2 for $20. Henley Linen Tee
Old Navy has a plus-size option (sizes 1X–4X) that comes in two prints and a solid color. The site is offering 20% off of everything with code SWEET, which makes the price $20.

Any suggestions for a Father’s Day gift for my husband? I have a 2 year old and will have a 2 week old. Last year, I did a picnic at the park and a photo gift. But we won’t have newborn photos done yet. And not sure that getting out of the house for long will be feasible (although maybe). So I’m looking for a fun/cute gift I can order. Thanks!
Not sure where to go with this, thought I’d start here. My 60+ parents have been having problems for a long time. My father can’t keep a job for more than a year, won’t manage his diabetes, takes no responsibility for anything. Won’t get help, overall hard to be around. My mother is healthy, maintains a variety of short-term jobs, motivated. Both on social security with not much in savings, retirement, etc, and i think a fair amount of debt. She’s begun the process of separating (does not intend to divorce) and wants to begin process of selling house. I think she’s going to be OK long-term; but what do I do about helpless father? What resources are there for people in this position? Just, ugh. Any and all insight appreciated.
For those pregnant, do you normally have a urine test for preeclampsia during prenatal appointments in the third trimester? My doctors office doesn’t do this and I’m trying to figure out how out of the norm that is.
Not looking for medical advice, I realize I need to ask my doctor for that (and I have and will continue to ask). I’m just curious what others’ doctors do.
My 3 year old’s attention span is usually no more than 10 minutes for a lot of things (watercolors, play dough, blocks etc.) She wants me to sit with her to play longer and that’s so hard when I have a 1 year old that’s constantly getting into everything. Any tips??
Anyone else having anxiety and sadness about returning their toddlers/babies to daycare/preschool? I’m in NYC and we’re not quite there yet and thing have been NUTS with a 3 yo and 9 month old at home with two parents trying to work from home and a small apartment. But when I think about sending them back I get bad butterflies in my stomach if that makes sense. And I’m typically a very practical non anxious parent.
We would love a driveable vacation this summer. We are in the Boston area and have a just-turned 2 year old. Part of the glory of a vacation has always been, but especially since adding DD, is having daily housekeeping, restaurants, someone pouring me a drink even. I just don’t see the joy in renting a house on a lake with a two year old. I still have to clean the house, make the meals, be concerned about childproofing. In my head it’d just be like relocating chaos from home to chaos somewhere that I have to pay for. I’d consider the Cape or the Vineyard, but things are booked solid at this point. In a typical year we vacation somewhere warm in February, visit out-of-state family through the middle part of the year and then travel again around the holidays. We generally forgo the summer vacation altogether, enjoy the nice weather and local beaches, but the desire for a Capital V Vacation as relief from everything has landed me arguing with myself on the topic.
So, should we just submit to an ok-not-great staycation sometime in July because that’s the state of existence these days?
i completely butchered my response this morning, so i am hoping for some help from the hive. kiddo is confused that if two wrongs don’t make a right (something i’m sure many of us have said before to our kids) why some people are getting mad that the police are arresting those who are out past curfews, looting, throwing things at police, violating the rules, etc. since it seems to kiddo like police are trying to enforce the concept of ‘two wrongs don’t make a right.’ apparently this was discussed at camp yesterday amongst some of the kids and i was caught by surprise and ill prepared this morning for this discussion as we were rushing out the door.
Can we talk about meal time? We have always tried to do the Janet Lansbury method where we provide the food and everyone eats without a lot of comments. But what do you do when your kid only eats one part of the meal? For example, we had veggie noodles last night and my daughter ate around the vegetables and kept asking for for more noodles. We told her she had to finish her vegetables before her next bowl of noodles. And then the struggle began.
This is an extremely boring question, but LAWYERS: where do you get free CLEs? I clicked around on Westlaw as I have heard of getting them there, but I am not sure where to look. Normally I get all my CLEs knocked out at an annual conference but this year the conference is canceled.
I’m thinking of subscribing to a kids news magazine. Any recommendations? Kid is 6 years old. I am considering The Week or Time, any others?
Frivolous question. Do you have a lipstick you absolutely love? Please tell me what it is and the color.
last night at bedtime, DD and I were reading a book, that we’ve had for a long time and read before, that has a character with DS’s name, though last night was the first time she noticed. At first she was excited, but then upset that we don’t have any books with her name (we do have some of those books you can order for people with your child’s name, but she said those aren’t ‘real’ books). Anyone have any books with reference to someone named Hannah for a preschooler?
I seriously need to just anonymously complain about a friend. Not sure that I need any advice, just maybe if somebody could share in my eyerolling.
Friend had first baby and has gotten very into the fact that everything needs to be perfectly curated and a magical ‘experience’. Like, was complaining that she hasn’t had the postpartum ‘experience’ she wanted. (Not right after – 7/8 months later?) Purchases need to be so carefully curated and selected that she ends up not having the things she needs (like a high chair, a pack and play) because she needs to go source them from all organic elves. Her comments are also just… I don’t think she realizes that her texts read as, “Well, I CARE about my child so I couldn’t just use whatever high chair I was given!’ (Note that I am 100% using a hand me down high chair, it’s been through 3 kids and it’s done its job.)
Part of me thinks that I was a little extra like this with my first kid? We had a talk about her MIL trying to give her a (fairly normal) kid’s toy and her comment was along the lines of ‘OH, well, Precious prefers his thoughtfully selected WOODEN toys.’ Yeah, okay. My first kid also LOVED his wooden toys… until he started using them as a weapon against Baby #2… suddenly, I was all about the soft foam/rubber stuff.
So this is an awful year, and week, clearly. Anyone have cute kid stuff? I’ll start:
I decided to grow a garden and some flowers from seed this year. Thought it would be “fun” and “educational”. Trying to start from seed with the 3YO was a messy sh*tshow of course. But 3 months later the petunias bloomed in the flower box on her playhouse and she’s over the moon. She goes “Look mommy the flowers came out. I can’t believe it!!”. So sometimes the pain in the butt things I do with my kid actually turn out. Every day we check on the progress of the vegetable garden and talk about how plants flower/bees pollinate/they grow into veggies.
