Washable Workwear Wednesday: Knot-Detail Keyhole Top

This is an interesting washable top by Alfani for Macy’s. The keyhole is a unique shape and gives interest to the neckline, and I like the longer length and the generous cut of this shirt. I think based on this shape, you could wear this as an early maternity shirt or even postpartum. The pictured “Cranberry Spice” color is very pretty — with my coloring I could not pull off the “Warm Ginger,” but if you can it looks like a wardrobe staple. The top is available at Macy’s for $59.50 full price in sizes XS–XXL, but keep an eye out for their frequent sales. Knot-Detail Keyhole Top

Someone recommended Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel last week and my copy arrived this am. It is a gorgeous book and I’m so excited to add it to our transport book rotation. Dare I hope it usurps Thomas?
Seeking recommendations for games for a 3-year-old. Is this the right age for Connect Four? Candyland? Something that would fill the 30 minutes before dinner would be great, while also starting to instill a sense of not always winning (to piggyback off the discussion yesterday).
Double stroller recommendations? The topic comes up a lot but most of the comments seem to be for city dwellers. We live in the ‘burbs and don’t use our stroller much except for zoo trips, neighborhood walks, etc. in the spring and summer. Expecting our second this summer and debating what to get. Oldest will be 2.5 but is in the 1st percentile for her age. I’m leaning toward a vista with rumble seat because we loved our cruz but are side by sides better?
I have a 2 year old and 4 month old and I am getting the joovy caboose ultralight too sit and stand (just ordered from amazon). We won’t use it enough to justify one of the nicer brands and this seems lighter/nicer/more compact than the affordable (graco, babytrend) double brands. Also I like the bench seat with harness and stand option for the toddler. A side by side BOB etc would definitely be better for walks/jogs but we don’t want to deal with it indoors or in crowds.
We moved last fall and the new house has a small, tree-lined backyard. The former owner had a big chunk of it covered with flagstones and ground cover, but those flagstones are going to be real toddler-killers so we’re ripping all that out this summer and replacing it with grass or more ground cover. We’re going to have a couple of people out to give estimates on all that, but any recommendations on good grass/ground cover for a pretty shaded backyard? I want to have a little more usable space for the kids to run around.
Also, we’ve got a large deck that will be good for a kiddy pool and water table, but any suggestions for a small playset? We really don’t have room for a giant one but we’ll have three kids (an almost-four year old and one year old twins) playing on it. There’s a giant tree stump there we’ll be leaving in place, so I’m thinking of using that as a little table for them or something, but I’m open to options there as well.
Has anyone seen the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory musical on stage? Thoughts on age-appropriateness?
I have the itch to travel next fall with my kids. We haven’t done an international trip with them beyond the Caribbean. Kids will be 4.5 and just turned 3. Could also do a fun city trip (might take them to New York again?) but I’m tempted to go further afield. Any recommendations of trips that were highlights with young kids? (Or can someone point me towards an old thread – I couldn’t find this by searching!) We’ll likely have 7-9 days… traveling from Houston if that makes a difference!
Did anyone make the move from Arlington/DC to further out suburbs like Vienna/Fairfax? I’d love to hear your experiences. We are still pre-kids but trying to get settled in a house before trying and it seems like that’s the best bet for us in terms of price, still metro accessible, etc. but I’m anxious about it! It just seems so suburban although I suppose that’s the point.
I picked up the civil summons today for my divorce, which is the last piece of paperwork that I needed. I am filing on Friday. In celebration, I would like to get a set of really nice sheets, preferably something warm as it was 2F this morning. Any recommendations?
Anyone have thoughts on beach trips with babies? I love love love the ocean and haven’t been in a couple years. Our daughter will be 7-9 months this summer, depending on what month we went. My general approach to the beach is “run into the sea like a wild person and stay there until your lips are blue” but I do count jumping waves on the shore, which is my land-locked husband’s preference. Should we just leave LO with a babysitter? The beach is about 2.5 hours away so it wouldn’t be overnight.
Clothing suggestions please! My preferred uniform pre-baby was pencil skirt + top + blazer. Finally shedding some lbs, but even if I can get back into the pencil skirts at some point, want a better, more flattering option for a bottom. Any brand/item suggestions for slightly A-line skirts that move well and are above the knee?
What time do everyone’s kids’/babies go to bed? My LO is 6 months old and we’re working on a consistent bedtime, which has been around 8pm lately. I wonder if it should be earlier but we don’t get home until 6 or later most nights.
I have had this dream of getting weekly blow outs and just using dry shampoo all week, but then I rationalize that it’s ridiculous to spend $200 a month on hair. I hate my hair (so frizzy!) and I am not so great styling it. Does anyone here get regular blow outs? Maybe I should try keratin instead, I bet that would be cheaper.
Moms of 2 or more, talk to me about your evening routine. Still struggling to find a rhythm where evenings are meaningful and connecting with both kiddos. I have gotten to the point where they aren’t stressful, but still feels a bit go go go rather than connection with both kids.
It typically goes like this – get home at 530ish pm, breast-feed baby, 6 pm I do dinner (feed baby food and feed preschooler regular food, sadly I have not been able to eat with kids as I am feeding baby..), then do clean up little chores while narrating to baby and baths, then at 7 pm baby has to eat again, then its story time (but not as enjoyable as before baby because baby wants to eat all the books and that drives daughter crazy) and bed at 8-8:30. Wondering if I could change things around in anyway to make it more connecting and enjoyable for everyone?
