FYI, there are some great sales going on (including a major clearance sale at Nordstrom), so stay tuned for more of a roundup later this morning. Isabella Oliver Eliot Maternity Dress

I am hoping to buy discounted shoes for my 13 month old daughter today, but I find all the options overwhelming. Any great recommendations for (1) non-slip, won’t-fall-off house slippers, and (2) warm shoes/boots for outdoors?
Can I just shamelessly ask for some good vibes? I’ve been wanting baby #2 for awhile now (oldest is 4) and DH is finally on board so we started TTC last month. With #1, it happened the first month. Over Thanksgiving weekend, not only did I turn 35 and start my period on my birthday, but I was around 2 family members who are pregnant, 1 with her 4th when their youngest is just 13 months old and the other, a single mom of a 10 year old who is not with the father. I’m tracking everything and our timing was good last month, so it was a rough weekend. Just looking for some positive thoughts. Thanks.
Any advice on transitioning back to work when you have been exclusively breastfeeding (with an occasional bottle here and there). Baby is 6 weeks old and I will be going back to work in another 6-8 weeks.
Main questions, when did you start pumping (and how often) and how and when did you transition to the bottle?
Thanks!
I have a holiday party coming up, hosted by two childfree friends who live in a very hip modern loft with lots of very breakable things everywhere. Another friend and I were thinking of bringing some kind of toy or activity to keep our two-year olds occupied/entertained so that they don’t, say, pull the entire vintage record collection off the shelves. My thought was to introduce something entirely new and very VERY exciting for two two-year old boys. Any thoughts on what might work? I was thinking something like Hot Wheels with a track or Lincoln Logs / Magnatiles? They both love vehicles, dinosaurs/animals, and books.
(I would get a babysitter but the hosts intentionally moved the start time up to a baby-friendly hour so that these two toddlers would make an appearance.)
I’ve never had a desire to be a stay at home mom … and still don’t really … but after nearly a week at home with our 22 month old I’m feeling sad today that he’s learned all of these new skills and abilities at daycare that I didn’t fully recognize and appreciate until I was able to spend more than a few hours at a time with him. Since when did he move from ‘destroy block tower’ to ‘build block tower?’ When did he start understanding ‘please give Dad back the remote?’ When did he start using 2 and 3 work sentences? It was a magical few days (that were helped by having grandparents and young nephews in town, who all got along fabulously with our kiddo) that made me sad, maybe for the first time, that the full time job that I love really does take away from time with a toddler that you can never get back.
Anyone have a recommendation for a good source for kids boots? We’ve always been lucky enough to have great hand-me-downs or second hand, but this year I need to get new boots for both kids (sizes 9 or 10 and 2 or 3, if that matters). I used to love Land’s End for this kind of thing, but their backpack and winter coat quality has gone downhill, IMO, and they are playing the “jack up the price and then run promos all the time while lowering the quality game”. Seriously, $50 for winter boots that are only “water resistant” not water proof? I don’t care that there is a 50% off promo – I just don’t want to play that game.
So where do I get kids boots that will hold up for at least 1 season and ideally be hand-me-down worthy? LLBean? Anywhere else? Or do I just go with Target or Payless and replace halfway through the season if necessary?
