This may be my perfect flat: There’s an ankle strap, but also a hidden zipper in the back. See, my problem is that I’ve yet to find a comfortable pair of flats that stays on without a strap — but I have no time to fiddle with a strap when we’re running into/out of the house. I like this as a solution (available in tan leather and leopard suede), as well as the sale — it was $78 but is now $47. The black, which is pictured on the product page but not shown as an option, is sold out but available at 6PM (lucky sizes only) for $55. Lucky Brand ‘Gyllian’ Ankle Strap Flat

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 think four year olds will eat cake at any hour.
Random question:my child’s birthday party is 9 – 11 am. (This was the only time slot available at the party location.) If your child were attending a party at this time, what kind of food would you want/expect? I’m thinking snacks and a cupcake to send home? Seems too early for lunch and cake. Most of the attendees are 4.
How do you get over the working mom guilt of not being able to attend every school function that occurs during the middle of the day? My daughter has a class party tomorrow… It was my husband’s turn to attend the event (I went last time, we try to alternate, but I definitely make more of them) and he says he absolutely can’t go. I was going to, but something came up at work which is making it impossible. I realize in the grand scheme, its not a big deal, but I am sitting at my desk sort of sad that she won’t have a parent there.
I have a similar pair of shoes from Brooks Brothers and a similar in concept from gentle soles (the ‘bay unique’). They’re both great, although only the bay unique is truly comfortable enough to walk long distances in.
Recommendation for labeling bottles/sippy cups/etc: I checked out some of the sites online after the discussion about labels and they all seemed expensive for what we needed. So I found some self-laminating labels at Target (up & up brand) in the sippy cup section. You just lift up the top layer, write on the label, and then peel off the protector and press down over the name, then put on the item. They’ve held up to frequent dishwasher use, though I know the box said there was an “up to” on dishwasher cleaning. Cheap, fast, easy to use, and easy to replace when we need to.
