The ’70s are back (did they ever really go away?), and this bright crochet top will introduce your kids to this fun fashion decade.
Gap updated this classic knit with a square neckline and flutter sleeves. Pair with today’s wide-leg jeans (bell bottoms would be a bit much!) now, and shorts later.
This top is $39.95 at Gap and comes in a rainbow pattern and pink. It’s available in XS (4/5) to XXL (14/16).

I might re-ask this on Monday but we’re headed to Mexico for Spring Break. My youngest is 3.5 and about 35 pounds. Is there any alternative to a light travel carseat that can be safe for him to use on the hour long taxi ride from the airport to the hotel? we may do a few other taxis but will mostly be walking or in golf carts.
I wish they made this top in adult sizes, because I would totally wear it. I’m tired of all my neutrals and want some fun colorful pieces.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a unicorn bag for family travel by airplane? The key requirements are a place to put my work computer and charger, my keys, wallet and glasses and hand cream/chapstick, my kids tablet and charger and headphones, diapers/wipes/change of clothes, 2 water bottles (me and kiddo), all the snacks, and toys/stuffy to entertain kiddo on flight (tablet is still a last resort for our 2 year old).
I’m guessing this has to be a backpack but also open to a tote if it has a long enough and comfortable shoulder strap or crossbody option. I don’t always have a roller suitcase with me because I typically also have the stroller with carseat and 2 year old.
Favorite easy but nutrient-dense meals for early pregnancy? I’m trying to get in as much nutrition as I can before the nausea makes me not want to eat at all. No food restrictions (besides the basic pregnancy no-nos like raw cheese) but definitely prefer straightforward meals that can be made quickly on weeknights. My go-to meals are already boring.
What’s the best way to gift wrap a stack (7 or 8) of board books?
I’m doing boring tasks today, so perhaps we could share some weekend fun?
It’s terribly rainy so I’m making chicken and stars soup for dinner.
Tomorrow, I’m volunteering with the local sustainability org, reprising my role as smoothie bike girl (a bike on a trainer, which powers the blender attached to it), and kiddo and husband have swim and music class, and will kindly run a freecycle errand for me.
And then Sunday, we’re going to a friend’s house in the afternoon for a hang/playdate.
Somewhere in there, we need a calendar summit b/c we keep getting annoyed with each other for conflicts, and I need to do my Scouts volunteer training online before the head of scouts comes to my house and stands over me til I do it.
