Moto jackets are everywhere this season, and I like this affordable, machine washable version from Mossimo. This beigey grey looks lovely, but it also comes in peach, black, and stripes. It’s $34.99. Mossimo Front Zip Blazer

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 looking for some opinions on daycare centers vs a nanny share/in home daycare. I have one 9 month old son. We are currently at a center we love, it’s small, low staff turnover rate, excellent care, etc. It’s near my work so I do pick-up and drop-off 90% of the time. This works ok because I have a strictly 9-5 job and we live in a small metro so it’s not hard for my husband to take over when needed. I recently was offered a spot in a nanny-share a block from our house. It would be $380 less per month. The nanny has a degree, pays taxes, keeps a small number of kids, and plans great activities. The hours are comparable to our center. She gets ten paid vacation days a year. It seems logical to switch to the nanny share, but I am hesitant to take my son out of a place we are so happy with just to save money. For anyone who has made the switch or chosen an in home daycare, can you offer any insight? Are there pros and cons I’m not thinking of? Both the daycare and the house where the nanny watches the kids provide food, although I think I would feel obligated to contribute in the nanny share situation.
ooh, I like – and I like that it comes in sizes up to XXL . Target is much more my speed/price range these days.
And even better – following the links to other items on that page brings me to this one, which is on clearance and I think I like it even better (at least from the front, I’ll have to try it on to see the back). I’m ordering both to see which I like better.
Has anyone used the Chicco Liteway Plus? (link to follow)
We’ve mostly been using the Keyfit Caddy for the last nine months and have a CityMini GT, but I’m eyeing the Liteway Plus as an umbrella stroller that could also hold her carseat when we’re traveling and can fold up easily if we’re out without her carseat. Also, the CityMini GT is just bulky enough to be annoying for short trips and keeping in the back of my car.
I feel a little silly getting yet another stroller, although we’d probably sell/give away the Keyfit Caddy in the next three months.
I’m 8 months post-partum, and I think my hormones are crashing. Overall, the last two weeks, I’ve felt increasingly anxious, lethargic, and a weird sense of despair/sadness. There have been some stressful events in our family, but nothing that would cause such intense emotions. I am still nursing (mostly pumping at this point), but otherwise nothing has really changed. With my first, I had some intense sadness immediately post-partum that I did not experience this time around, and I’m wondering if I had some kind of delayed reaction?
I will make an appointment to discuss with my OB, but wanted to know if anyone else experienced a delayed reaction about 8 months after giving birth?
So, I’m barely pregnant (4 weeks, 3 days or something) and cannot believe HOW pregnant I feel. My boobs feel like a bouncy house after a 5 year old’s birthday. My uterus feels like it’s tripled in size in 48 hours, and last night my lower back started hurting and I got sleepy at 8:30. What the what? I really thought this would be a slow, gentle coming on thing. A twinge there, a flutter there. Instead I’m pretty sure that while I was asleep Monday night somebody came and switched out my body with something else. I took a spinning class last weekend, and now that blows my mind, as I can’t imagine bending over a bike, nevertheless sprint pedaling. Does this settle back down at some point, or is it just a wild ride from here on out?
If you pump twice a day, can you share: pumping times, ounces pumped, ounces baby consumes while away from you and age of baby?
Trying to convince myself to drop my 3rd pumping session, but afraid I won’t make enough. I have a good freezer stash and a ten month old who loves solids. I had low to marginal supply when she was smaller, so I think I’m just being irrational about this.
