Jones New York continues to have a zillion sales with steep discounts — as one commenter on Corporette noted, this feels like a clean-out-close-up sale. So: if you like the brand at all, take a swing by now. (Here was our deal alert from a few weeks ago.) For years they’ve had a great washable wool line of suiting, including these basic pants — they were $99, are now marked to $79, and with the “extra 50% off all sale styles,” they come down to under $40. Nice. JNY Collection Gray Flat Front Washable Wool Pants

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?
Dear 30-something professional women: what is your go-to source for work-appropriate tops? I’m happy with my basics – pants, skirts, dresses – but I need to add some warm-weather topics into the mix. I like the look of Boden but I have felt that the quality is low for the price. Ditto Banana Republic. I like classic with a twist. Help!!
If you had a taskrabbit for a few days – someone who was in town to help you with various odd jobs, errands, projects around the house, etc. – how would you use her or him? Some ideas on my list already include:
Dropping clothes off at Salvation Army, and getting a receipt
Getting things framed and hung
Taking a computer in to get the hard drive extracted
Building some IKEA furniture
What else? Help me figure out how to use this time wisely!
PSA: I got the H&M catalog this weekend, and the kids clothes are SO, SO CUTE. And cheap. If you buy, try coupon code 2963 for an additional 20% off. And if you have an early walker, try their grippy baby socks (no grips for the smallest sizes, so make sure you get a size with grips).
I’m so tired :( 6 mo. went from 1x night wake ups to 3x night wake ups, with a 5:45AM up for the day. Also, is super cranky. My head is aching and I’m nauseous with fatigue. The 2 yr old is sensing that my nerves are frayed, and is testing my patience with a vengeance. I just need a nap!!
Noticed my maternity-t-shirt had great coffee stains today.
Heard a bigwig is coming into the office at noon.
Ran out to Target and got a black maternity tank top and a splatter-painted tunic top. This counts for business-appropriate attire at 8+ months in my office, thank gd. At least it’s clean.
This might be a dumb first-time-mother question, but I really don’t know who to ask or if there is really a better answer than “trust your judgment”.
How do you know when to take your kid back to the pediatrician when she’s sick and not getting better? And by “back to the pediatrician” I mean twice for the same illness. Is there a certain number of days you wait? Is it just something you learn with experience? Does it have to do with whether or not they have a fever?
Of the three pregnant people in my office, two have had their babies, or are in the process of having their baby today – I am the third. No baby… but now I’m paranoid that everything is a labor pain. #firsttimemomproblem How do you actually know you are in labor?
