I know this is probably an asked and answered kind of thing- can anyone recommend some good working mom blogs? To be clear here I mean women who actually work 40 + a week at a job outside the home, not women who are not receiving compensation for work or no longer in a profession though those moms are cool people. Just looking for something more in point with who I am.

I’m looking at taking my kid and husband with me on a week-long trip to Albuquerque in September. Any tips? Is it fun? Is there a downtown that kid and husband can wander while I am working? Will we be bored to death without a car? Kid will be about 18 months, so museums and such might be wasted on her, but parks and the outside won’t.

Just random venting. I’m 7 weeks pregnant (yay) after a miscarriage in February, I was 12 weeks along(boo). I’m sad because I hate my OB’s office. the final straw was Friday when I received two fliers, with no cover letter and had not spoken to a nurse since my appt on Tuesday, about proper care for yourself during a miscarriage. Logically, I think I knew that this was some terrible mistake. But, when you’re pregnant you’re not logical. I thought I was being told, through mail, that I was miscarrying again. I finally got a Dr on the after-hours line to confirm nothing in my tests were abnormal. To her credit, the Dr was shocked and surprised and embarrassed that I would receive this in the mail. I already didn’t click with the office, this was one big third strike. So, I’m happy I’ll have the opportunity to get care from an office I hopefully will like better, it’s just a hassle and I wish I didn’t have to do it.

Has anyone purchased or researched the wearable GPS watches for kids (for safety and tracking purposes)? I’m trying to find one that would be wearable for my kids (ages 3 & 6) and is also practical (not a huge thing that would keep them from lifting their arms). Thanks!

Anyone have specific ankle pants or skinny jeans they like? I’d really like to find a style that works and buy multiple colors. I have some skinny black pants that I got from Stitch Fix, but the quality isn’t great and I’d really like to have pockets. Also not too thrilled with my current skinny jeans so looking for alternatives.

X-posting from main site because those ladies use beauty stuff.

My husband and kiddo are going out of town for a week, and I’m looking at a long luxurious long weekend at home alone. I really want to do some spa treatments and would love your recs. I’ve already bought that baby foot stuff….

Do you use a “real” camera or just your iphone/smartphone to take pictures and videos of your kid? If you got a real camera when your kids were babies, do you still use it, or have you switched to just smartphone?

Many people I know bought a nice camera (pocket sized) before their kids were born, with the idea that the pictures will be better than what you can take on an iphone and that there are more features. I think that iphone pics are pretty decent and that it’s probably more about the photographer than the camera. But obviously I want to make sure our pics are as good as possible. If you had it to do over, would you buy the camera?

I’m sure this has been discussed, but I can’t find the thread.

Friend just had twins, at 34 weeks, and BOTH were natural birth! They were born 3 hours apart. Mom has an ENORMOUS family and so I doubt she *needs* anything, but I would love to send something. The smaller baby might be in the NICU for as long as 2 weeks. Any advice for what to send? Flowers/balloons/food? Should I send it to the hospital or to her home in a couple weeks? Thanks, ladies.

What’s your go-to casual summer shoe? I’m intrigued by Native slip-ons, both for me and for my kids (but let’s be clear, the question is about summer shoes for mom!). I know people swear by Sperrys but those don’t really do it for me and they seem kind of on the expensive side. My office is CRAZY casual in the summer so I could get away with both here, but I’m moreso interested in a slip-on flat that I can wear outside, chasing kids, to farmers’ markets, pool, etc.

Fabulous way to start the week: After getting the kids up early to drive my husband to and from a doctor’s appointment that he couldn’t drive to and finally dropping the oldest off at PreK, the youngest threw up 5 minutes away from her preschool. I don’t think her car seat will survive. So surprise working from home morning! And now she is bouncing off the walls….

I saw that shirt and immediately felt a sort of warm comforting presence… and I just figured it out. Ina Garten. She would so wear that shirt in the non-maternity version while baking some brownies for Jeffrey.

Guys. After many, many years of working in a cubicle, I have an office. An actual office, with a door. Sadly this is temporary (only while our normal offices are being renovated), but this might be the motivation I needed to go work for a different employer.

This must be what heaven feels like. And so much easier to pump!!!

Also GAP makes a decent maternity Oxford you might try. Usually they have it on white and light blue.
