We’ve featured some of Seraphine’s beautiful maternity dresses before, but I didn’t know that Seraphine is available at Macy’s — that’s new to me! This dress is lovely and it’s $89 with an offer to buy one, get the second 50% off. It’s available in sizes 2-10 and is machine washable. Seraphine’s site has what looks like the same dress in a couple more sizes (2-14) in a lighter, more muted blue, also for $89. Maternity Wrap Dress
Here’s a plus-size alternative.

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 feel stupid asking this but… How do you fold onesies?
When I google I am inundated by mommy blogs full of what appear to be rolled-up onesies in divided drawers. Is rolling the best storage method? What purpose do the twee dividers serve, other than being twee?
I would like pajamas. Requirements are simple, soft, not uncomfortable if the neighbors see me wander outside in said PJs, and no buttons. Nothing too tight, nothing too big. Does this exist? I am sick of being a workout clothes sleeper.
Has anyone considered not vacationing (ever) with small children? We just returned from a beach vacation with Kiddo, and it was a ton of work, and DH and I were both miserable by the end. Also, we live in a pretty cool, kid-friendly city where we can go to the zoo, aquarium, children’s museum, great parks, etc., and have access to pools 2/3 of the year. What we would do with Kiddo in pretty much any U.S. city just isn’t that different (for him) than our home town. One set of grandparents lives about an hour’s flight away, and we would still visit them regularly.
Part of me wants to just save the money and either do long weekends with DH with grandparents watching Kiddo, and/or wait until Kiddo is older, doesn’t need a nap, and can appreciate that we are in a cool new place. What age is that?
While she is not in pain now, I am concerned about her being in pain down the road. Also, in our area, a rash from brown tail moths is incredibly common. I’d like to know what is going on for my own peace of mind and to be able to prepare for what may lie ahead.
Our au pair told us last night that she Skyped with a health care provider back home earlier in the day who told her that she has shingles. She has had the rash since Thursday and is not in any pain. Two members of our household have autoimmune disorders but neither is on immune suppresive therapy (just tend to get sick more easily). Am I being unreasonable if I ask her to checked by a physician here?
How have you guys dealt with back to work blues? This is my fourth week back. The first two I actually felt fine about leaving my baby at daycare/not seeing him at night. But now I miss him so much it physically hurts. I know I don’t want to quit my job, nor is it a possibility for us, so I’m not sure what to do. Maybe it will get easier as he ages and has a later bedtime so I can see him more?
Although I haven’t tried on this specific dress, Seraphine was my go to for beautiful, flattering maternity dresses for work and my baby shower. Highly recommend. I love this color too.
My daughter has been throwing major tantrums over the smallest things – she went into a major crying and screaming fit (more than 30 min) when we couldn’t find one of her hair clips this morning. No amount of distraction or reasoning would work with her. I feel like we skipped the Terrible Twos stage, and are now getting it back twofold. Just today she’s had 4 meltdowns just because she couldn’t get what she wanted. Yesterday’s meltdown was because she wanted us to move her car seat from the right to the left side of the car for no reason at all, which I refused to do. I just gave birth 6 weeks ago, so am not sure if this is due to the addition of a new sibling. Any tips/ recommendations on how to handle these epic meltdowns would be appreciated!
Baby is about to start crawling! And I think we need to bite the bullet and hire a cleaning service. Any recommendations for DC/NOVA area? What’s a reasonable cost for bi-weekly? I assume it’s not deep cleaning, but it would be mopping floors, vacuuming, toilets, is that about right?
Thanks!
Gift ideas for a 1 year old boy? How much would you spend if you were are not close or family? Thanks!
I’ve recently come back to work after maternity leave and carry my baby to and from day care in an Ergo. Tips/thoughts on favorite work wardrobe pieces that work with that situation? Baby has now spat up on two suits in a row so I am thinking I need to rebuild my entire wardrobe to only include washable pieces. My office skews towards the business end of business casual. I’m severely fashion-impaired and decision-inhibited so would love any recommendations.
