I don’t often wear rings, but when I do, I go bold, like this emerald ring.
This ring is made with a 100% sterling silver base and plated in a thick layer of gold. The elongated cushion cut, lab-grown emerald is surrounded by a ring of lab-grown white sapphires. Since emeralds are May’s birthstone, this would make an excellent gift for the May birthday in your life. If rings aren’t your thing, there’s also a coordinating necklace and earrings.
This ring is $298 at Aurate.

Please tell me that having a second kid get easier. I have a toddler and a one month old. The toddler is very much a mommy’s girl and wants to spend all her time with me. Whenever I’m doing something for the baby when the toddler wants my attention, I feel like I’m failing the toddler. And whenever I’m doing something for the toddler and the baby is crying, I feel like I’m failing her.
This morning, I was alone with the kids and getting the toddler ready for daycare. She kept on saying she didn’t want to go (cried at dropoff, as she has been for the last few weeks). As this was going on, the baby started crying because she was hungry. It just felt like I couldn’t do anything right for either of them.
(FWIW and to get ahead of those questions, I’m pretty confident I don’t have PPD. I just think this is hard)
