We’ve featured Ming Wang’s lovely washable workwear before, and this pull-on pencil skirt is not only washable, but wrinkle-resistant — and on sale! Booyah. I like the jolt of green at the hem, in part because I find that shade of green such a tough color to wear otherwise for work. Plus, I always like to wear at least two colors. Try pairing this with almost any solid color top (black, white, gray, sure — but try it with a purple, light blue, cobalt, or even a red or pink top) and nude flats, and the outfit practically puts itself together. The skirt was $179 but is currently marked to $116 at Nordstrom. Ming Wang Knit Pencil Skirt

For those of you who haven’t seen it – the Democrats, led by CT Senator Chris Murphy have started a filibuster to try to get some resolution on gun reform. I’d encourage those who support the measure to use social media (or call/emai!) to let your representatives know you support them

So speaking of bedtime, I”m on month 4 of a 5:30AM wakeup call by my 20 month old. We’ve tried everything – early bedtime (7PM sound asleep, and late bedtme – 8 or later) and nothing works. I’m really struggling with this. Currently, we go in his room when he waks up, and stay in the rocking chair until 6, when we do a “big wae-up” and gget him /take him downstairsout of the crib. But if we let him cry, he wakes up our older child, which is a disaster for all involve. Advice? Thoughts? Comissioneration?
Depending on the age of your child, you might want to consider shortening or eliminating the nap.
It’s so quiet today! I have a question on toddler bedtimes. I don’t think regression is necessarily the right word because kiddo has always been good at going to sleep and still is staying asleep. But she is fightign bedtime now. I know it’s asserting her independence and testing our limits, but she so rarely cries that I hate it when she wails when we put her in her crib. And throws herself around and stands up and is having none of it. Suggestions on how to deal with this particular phase? We have a steady bedtime routine, and one of us generally keeps her company as she goes down.
