If we’d had an Accessory Tuesday this week, I would have posted this Paul Green loafer (even though I’m not normally a loafer girl). These $40 loafers from Indigo Rd. are much more affordable and come recommended from a reader, who said they’re a great option for wearing with ankle pants and so on. She said they’re “Super comfy right out of the box and a great fit for someone who has problems with their heels slipping out of shoes. They also do a good job of straddling the line between menswear inspired and still feminine.” The shoes are available at DSW in black in sizes 6-11. Hestley Loafer

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?
The last time that my oldest had a fever, he had a febrile seizure and we landed in the ER. I was also 37 weeks pregnant at the time with my youngest. My mom texted that the oldest has a fever. It’s reasonable, the internet says he’s fine and she reports his mood and behavior is great. I have an intense fear of fever after the whole seizure incident. Talk me off the ledge. How do you all handle this Sick Kid thing without just curling in a ball and hiding with fear?
Check out the Bay Area Discovery Museum in Sausalito. Perfect for that age and can be combined with ferry ride (but will require cab/uber within Sausalito) or drive across the golden Gate Bridge if you will have a car. Also check out Ferry Building for a variety of eating options mostly casual and thus kid friendly. Bonus if you go when they have farmers market (Thursday and Sat?)
I was laid off from my job (small law firm). I am currently seeking new opportunities.
Does my LinkedIn profile have to match my resume? Or should I just list the job, title, and years?
Do I list interests on my resume? I have 2 years of work experience so I am inclined not to list any hobbies. Also, do attorneys put a summary on top on their resume? Thanks!!
Just a vent. I am a biglaw junior corporate associate, the mother of a toddler, and 20 weeks pregnant, and I am SO tired.
The opposing junior associate just told me he doesn’t have the signature packet + escrow agreement exhibits + other crap he was supposed to do for the deal we’re supposed to sign tomorrow because he was out too late drinking last night and is “so hungover” this morning, can we please reschedule the call? UGH NO.
I know this is what I signed up for etc. etc. but gosh darn it I could use a nap.
My husband and I are taking our 14-month old to San Francisco for the last week of March. Staying near Fisherman’s Wharf. Does anyone have any recommendations for toddler-friendly restaurants? What would you consider must-dos? How easy is it to get around by car?
Thanks!
Thanks!
UGH – I’m 8 weeks pregnant with twins and have been super nauseous all day every day for the last 2+ weeks. My RE called in a prescription for Diclegis on Monday, and my insurance company still has not approved it because they are requiring more info from the dr before deciding whether to approve it. But if I want, I’m welcome to pay the full price of $500+. I’ve been taking the bootleg B6 and Unisom version for awhile and ginger candies, jolly ranchers, frequent snacks, etc, but nothing is helping much. I’m just so tired of feeling miserable. This is my second pregnancy and my first was nothing like this. On the upside, I guess, is no vomiting (yet). Thanks for letting me vent.
I am looking for a home cleaning service in DC – how much should I expect to pay for a 3 bed/3bath? Any recs?
I ordered real coffee today. It’s the first time I’m having caffeine in over three years. What broke my streak you ask? Pregnancy? No. A newborn? No. Complex litigation with never-ending deadlines and a schedule that isn’t my own? No. Last minute court and administrative filings? No. Getting ready for vacation? Yes. GETTING. READY. FOR. VACATION. Better be awesome ;)
