(Yeah, still working on the names for the days)… Nordstrom’s clearance sale is on, huzzah! I like this statement necklace from Kate Spade, which I think is wearable in all stages of mom-dom. While pregnant and nursing a necklace comes in handy to distract from your bust area and keep the focus on your face… whereas in the post-nursing stage it’s super easy to throw on and add some pizzazz to an outfit quickly and easily. It’s available in four color combos, and was $98, but is now marked to $49-66. Kate Spade Day Tripper Bib Necklace
Psst: Today’s admin question: how many of you are getting multiple copies of each email? (If you signed up for both email lists, that’s the easy answer — you may want to unsubscribe from one of them.) Are you liking the “blog broadcast” version of the email (where you get an email as soon as there’s a new post on the blog), or should I turn that feature off?

So I’ve tried to comment on this post and the last one three times and my comments are disappearing into the ether. Maybe my normal name is setting it off (JJ)?
FVNC: words of encouragement that her sleep will likely go back to normal as soon as she’s feeling better. Although if it doesn’t get better after your round of antibiotics is finished – keep an eye on her. My 12-month old had to go through three rounds of antibiotics (and ended up with shots) before his last ear infection finally cleared.
Ear infections are the devil (says the mom whose son is getting tubes in his ears tomorrow).
On the theme of sleeping…my 11 mo old is currently being treated for her first ear infection. For the past week her sleeping has regressed horribly. Before the infection, she had just started sleeping until 6 or 6:15, which was amazing. But since she got the infection, she’s been waking at least once per night (usually 2 or 3 times), and sometimes won’t go back to sleep unless I’m holding her — which means I don’t sleep the rest of the night, of course. Will this regression pass once her infection clears? Any words of encouragement or tips/tricks to getting back to normal? I’m exhausted and have been useless at work this week.
PS – I love this necklace. I’m usually not much for accessories, but I’m really tempted by this.
PPS – I like the blog broadcast. Like anonmama said, it’s a good reminder to check out this s i t e every day. I only get one email.
Really like this necklace. Like the price point too.
I like the blog broadcast! Good reminder to click over and check the blog out when I have a free minute.
Signed up for emails, think I receive both, but would prefer not to receive the “blog broadcast” version. I’m on Gmail.
Also, FYI for Kat – on the Contact page, the box where you can fill in a comment to send to you directly is missing. I assume that’s how you’d like for us to make recommendations directly to you? I have a Washable Wednesday idea.
Kat, I signed up for emails multiple times and have never received one! I’m a Gmail user.
Any tips to get through end of third trimester insomnia? It’s extension season, I’m supposed to be working a lot of overtime, doing work that actually requires using my brain, and I haven’t slept in what feels like weeks. I feel like I can barely put a sentence together. I can’t take any time off, and I actually need to be billing more hours than I am. My office doesn’t have a door, so I can’t just take a nap during the day, unfortunately.
