I love the Maeve brand that is exclusively at Anthropologie. I find their patterns to be fun and cuts flattering. It’s no different for this wrap top. I love the color and pattern combination with the wrap silhouette. I’m not sure why for some of the photos they unbuttoned the sleeves — it looks a little comical just having the model’s fingertips peeking out. Everything else though, I really love. I also appreciate the elasticized back to help with the wrap fit. The top is $88 and is available in regular, petite, and plus sizes. Lisa Puff-Sleeved Blouse

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?
I’m thinking ahead for my toddler and how to choose activities with her when she is older (I’d like to hold off on more structured activities until she reaches grade school).
I want to keep the number of days committed per week (week and weekend) to a minimum. I don’t want to overstructure or overbook us with kid #1, especially with kid #2 2 years behind her. Do you typically just pick one sport and instrument (or dance etc) at a time?
Also, should I consider Girl Scouts? I know it varies troop to troop but I was never one and it wasn’t on my radar until my aunt asked if I considered it.
Can I just ask the bust-ier ladies how you approach tops/dresses like this? I like the style but it always shows so much cleavage and I can’t seem to ever get any combination of fashion tape and safety pins to make it look ok.
I’ve been noticing that my daughter’s (27 months) eyes intermittently turn inward. We have an appt lined up to get her checked out, but was wondering if anyone has been through this process. This runs in my family as my brother and sister had corrective surgery 30+ years ago.
A pediatric ophthalmologist will give you the answer. We took my DD to one at like 25 months. They’re surprisingly good at giving kids vision tests. It’s best to get any eye issues corrected ASAP. Most are fixable until age 8 when they may lose vision in a weaker eye
Do I need to keep my annual physical appointment with my primary care even though I’m pregnant? I don’t have any chronic conditions or take any prescriptions.
I feel like it is important to get all my usual blood work etc checked, but maybe it’s unnecessary since I’m already going to my OB so frequently. I’ll be about 19 weeks by the time my appointment rolls around.
I’m curious: when did everyone disclose their pregnancy at work? I’d like to delay as long as possible as I know from last time I’ll be taken off of some projects and not get any new ones. But I don’t know what’s reasonable.
Not sure if this is a rant or request for advice but here goes. I feel like my primary work customer is gaslighting me. He will ask for a product: a report or chart. When I follow up with questions, he acts like he has no idea what I’m talking about. I have FOUR email chains going with this person ATM where he says “I need X fixed on this report.” I respond with “Do you need X formula fixed or do you need X attribute fixed?” and he responds “X what? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Then we have a phone call where I explain the diff between a formula and an attribute (which in this role, he should know). Then I pose the question again, and he says “I’ll get back to you.” Then three days later he will email asking for the status of this request and I remind him I am waiting for an answer from him. Then he will have me explain my question again, repeat ad nauseum. I can’t just ignore his requests, but at this point I’m kind of lost. The rest of my team just shrugs and says “Yeah I had the same experience with him. Good luck!”
Can anyone recommend a good New England (Vermont/NH) ski resort for a trip in March. We’re solidly intermediate skiers and we would also need childcare for our two year old while we ski. We went to Killington last year and liked the skiing and amenities, but it was a little crowded and I didn’t like all the flat areas to get across the mountain, so we’re looking for other options. Also, does anyone have any insight on Canadian spring break and whether all New England ski resorts will be packed with Canadians in early March?
Solo parenting in wintertime ideas! I’ll be solo parenting my 3.5 year old and 1 year old this weekend when it looks like it will be cold and or rainy. What am I going to do with them? I bought a valentine making kit which can probably buy me an hour but…any other ideas tips or tricks for keeping preschoolers entertained (but that don’t require my 100% participation since I’ll have my little one also?)
How far along were you when you told work you were pregnant? This is my second child, first child is 3. I’ve been at my company for almost five years. I’m nearly 11 weeks, just took the NIPT test so I’ll have those results next week. I had a miscarriage in September, but this pregnancy seems to be sticking.
I know there isn’t a right answer, so just curious to others’ experiences. I work in client services and am pitched as the client contact, so I’m feeling a little dishonest on new business that I won’t actually be serving but otherwise have freedom of timing.
Has anyone who uses HomePay filed taxes with Turbo Tax? Our taxes are incredibly simple but for the nanny payments (standard deduction, no income other than two W-2s, etc). Home Pay gave me a tax packet that seems straightforward enough but I don’t know how to “override” Turbo Tax electronically to include the payments related to the nanny. I’m thinking I will do Turbo Tax as normal and then, instead of filing through them, fill out a 1040 by hand, copying most of the info from Turbo Tax but including the info that Home Pay gave me. Is that crazy?
