I have always loved Deborah Lippmann brand polish for their unique colors and creative names. I think where this brand really shines are their color options with glitter. The frequency of my manicures has gone way down way down since having a child, but with the combination of dry winter weather and more social and work events to attend in the holiday season, I’ve been making time recently to visit my favorite nail salon. Although I would not get a glittery manicure every time, I think that this shade is eye-catching but still professional. Sometimes glitter or sparkle can look cheap, but this brand’s selections seem upscale to me. This polish is $20 at Blue Mercury, which offers free 2-day shipping and free returns. La Vie en Rose

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?
Pregnant with my first and wondering what I should do ahead of time if anything to arrange pelvic floor therapy. I do not want to be one of those moms who laughs about peeing while laughing/sneezing/running/jumping because it really does not have to be that way. Our medical system in the USA does so little to promote pelvic floor therapy or to support moms so I just want to be sure that I have my ducks in a row in case I need it. Did you have a doctor set up before you gave birth in case you needed it? How long did you wait before you did treatment? Did you do anything else for your postpartum body such as seeing someone who specializes in treatment for diastasis recti? TIA!
My husband has psoriatic arthritis and we are dealing with a bad flare-up that makes walking extremely difficult for him. Needless to say, taking physical care of our 1-year old is also difficult. I’m leaving for a short-work trip tomorrow and I’m so anxious to leave them. He says he’ll manage and it is only one night and few hours that he’ll have to take care of her solo but I just feel so upset about it. About the flare up. About needing to find a new Rx for him. About our daughter possibly having a stomach bug. Any recommendations for helping him (and me!) through this emotionally? And physically? Basically just trying not to cry at work today…
What are your essentials for a beach vacation with baby? I have rash guards, hats, mineral sunscreen (I bought ThinkBaby), a shade canopy and swim diapers. I’m pretty vigilant about the sun myself so we won’t be out from 10-2 and will be in the shade as much as possible. What am I forgetting?
Any experience with dairy sensitivies in breastfed babies? I’ve finally linked increased spit-up and green poop for them to me drinking larger quantities of milk – like a couple glasses a day. Everything I’ve read says you have to cut out all dairy in your diet to see a difference, but for me it looks like it’s just when I drink a lot. They’re perfectly fine otherwise so I’m thinking I’ll just watch my intake, but any other thoughts or things I should be on the lookout for?
Learned over the weekend that we are pregnant with no 2. And honestly, I’m so upset. We want another, and would like them to be close in age so I should be happy (and just got a pcos diagnosis so didn’t expect this). Kids would be 2.5 years apart.
I just now feel that I’m back to thriving at work. My pregnancies (many losses) have been complicated and our daughter has a rare genetic condition (not diagnosed until she was a year). DH is an amazing parent and partner but I find myself almost hoping I’ll miscarry again, which is a horrible thought to have. Have others experienced this with their 2nd? I think I have some ptsd from our daughter’s birth and first year but I just feel…so disappointed, which DH doesn’t understand. I guess I’m just looking to see if others have felt this way bc I feel such guilt.
We are on week 2 of kids sharing a room and I feel confident in reporting that it is awesome! Collapsing the bedtime routine into one is amazing. The little one (almost 2) goes to bed slightly later and the older one (almost 5) slightly earlier than before. And they both sleep until the Ok to Wake clock turns green! And sometimes later! And, when one wakes in the night and cries and yells, the other one sleeps through– just like you all said they would! The predictability of the morning wake up time is so freeing. Knowing that they are not going to get up until 7, rather than wondering if the little one will wake up at 5:30 or 6 or 6:30, is such a relief.
We have not had the best success with nap time when the little one mostly yells and sings and throws his lovey to try to get the older one’s attention… But I’m still calling this a success. Thanks for all the advice!
I’m looking for a good birthday gift for a 9 year old who has gotten into cooking (I love cooking, and love teaching it to kids). My (littler) kids flip out over the idea of having tools that are specifically theirs – would she be too old to like something like that? I’m thinking some sort of tool plus a kid-friendly cookbook, but I’m very open to suggestions. Preferably in the $20-25 dollar range, and preferably available on Prime.
I’m 5 weeks pregnant and haven’t told any friends yet. I went to a party this weekend and just had sparkling water. I used to be a social drinker so people definitely noticed, and while no one asked me about it they all acted a little weird to me. How do I keep this up for several more weeks!? (The secret, not the not-drinking). Also my office party is this week… I’m ready with the antibiotics excuse if necessary. Anyway, just venting. Thanks!
You all did so well picking everything for my master bath renovation (thank you) that I am no longer making paint decisions on my own. Please pick a paint color for my dining room. It must be Sherwin-Williams, other than that, no requirements.
We have a very traditional layout on our main floor, with segregated rooms. The dining room is visible from the living room, which is SW Upward. It’s also visible from the kitchen and family room, which are SW Agreeable Gray. The kitchen has very dark, dated, cherry wood cabinets and a white stone counter top. The cabinets are dated but will not change for the foreseeable future. The dining room features crown molding and a chair rail, both will stay white. There’s also a double sliding glass door to the deck in that room, with a natural oak (I guess) trim. The dining room table is a dark wood and the pictures in there, which I’ll keep, are black and white and in dark frames.
So, what color should the dining room be? I like that every room in my house currently flows well together. I’m not opposed to lightening it up a bit, or giving it a more rich color since the rest of the house is currently so light. (SW Sea Salt is also prevalent on the 1st floor with Comfort Gray in the powder room).
Thank you, kind, wise, internet friends!
If I’m flying with a purse, a breast pump bag, and a carry on roller suitcase, I’ll probably have to check my suitcase, right?
I am more than a year postpartum and am experiencing…leaking…when I jump (I started working out). Help! What does one do for this in the short and long term? I’m open to seeing some kind of expert, but who would that be? My OB would be useless for this. In Chicago if there are any personnel recommendations…
