tHappy Thursday! I like the look of this simple blouse from Jones New York — nice dark purple and white graphic print, nice high neckline with a flattering V — and it’s machine washable. Yay! The blouse was $79, but is marked to $49 today. Jones New York V-Neck Blouse

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?
It’s been one of those days where I just need to scream/cry – Just hand expressed four oz (oww) because I forgot the flanges to my pump and didn’t have time to run out and get more because I am rushing around like always and it was a choice btwn expressing a bit now and buying myself an hour to get home or missing my train. Really rather not suffer through another round of mastitis.
And my mood is made much worse by the fact that a colleague quit on me yesterday after only four weeks on the job. This is something that frequently comes up on the site and I do understand if your dream role comes up you have to take it, but it is incredibly disruptive and just rendered a good amount of my last month’s work worthless and created a new set of headaches.
The juggle sucks
For any ladies working in BigLaw, would you be willing to share details of your firm’s part-time policy? If so, please send me a message at parttimepolicy [at] gmail. Thanks!
Hey ladies! Any suggestions for a good gift for a 2 year old? (Girl, but prefer gender-neutral type gift if possible.) Looking to spend $20-30. I know this has been discussed but I’m not having any luck searching.
We’re having a party on Saturday afternoon and are expecting maybe 5 or 6 kids in the 3-6 age range. We’re planning to put on some kids’ movies and have some activities for them. I have some big drawing paper, a box of crayons (the big box with the sharpener in the back), and a pack of Crayola modeling clay. Any other thoughts on stuff that could be bought and set up easily? I’ll be wrangling my own toddlers and hostessing so I don’t plan on really being hands-on with the kid-guests at all. But if there are other things I could put out that would be good for that age, I’m happy to do it. Also, what movie(s) should we play? Is it still all Frozen all the time? Does it matter that, except for the littlest, they’ll all be boys? Or are the boys all over Frozen, too? Is there a newer movie that’s the “it” kids’ movie now?
In your office, do you have photos of yourself with the kids? How many kid/family photos do you have? Right now I have a hinged frame (showing two 5x7s) for each of my 2 children. 3 of the 4 photos are individual photos of the child, and the 4th is a photo of me with one of them. The girls and I just had professional photos taken for mother’s day, and I’m trying to decide how to display them. Would you agree that any more family/kid photos would be too many? Would you display any photos of yourself with the kids, or just stick to the kids?
This comes down another 25% to $37 in cart.
Did they just draw a line down the middle of a woman wearing a skirt to make two skinny legs? This photoshopping is ridiculous.
Nice shirt, though. Can anyone speak to quality and fit?
