Boden has a number of machine washable, pumping friendly wrap dresses right now — particularly if you prefer the Freemie style of pumping. This Henrietta dress is marked down, but I also like this wrap dress. All of the fun patterns are not only bright and happy, but they’re also great for hiding stains, whether it’s a drop of milk from a leaky bottle on your dress… to another kind of leak. The pictured dress is $44-$74 (down from $148), available at Boden. Henrietta Dress

Love this dress! Great pick for pumping at work.
Question for other working mothers – do you ever feel like the things you most want to do are either more difficult or nearly impossible to do as a working parent? For instance, I have been feeling an increasing desire lately to become a foster parent, but with three biological kids + a foster child, I question how I would spend any quality time with my kids, or even get to work on time, truthfully, if I were to pursue this while still working full time. Are there some paths in life that require opting out of the workforce for a few years in order to do it (especially given the many appointments that foster children often have), or is there some magical way to make it work in the 24 hours of a day? I love my job, but I wonder if I can continue to love it and be any good at it, while still doing the things with my family that I most want to do.
