For any fancy evening events you have coming up, here’s a sculptural clutch that looks like a work of art.
This clutch from new-to-me brand Ambush is made from draped and folded soft leather. But it isn’t just looks — it’s topped with a convenient wrist strap, and has a top zip closure, cotton-twill lining, and interior pocket.
I’m partial to the bold “Bordeaux” color (looks more like a dark coral), but it’s also available in black for a classic look.
Ambush’s Nejiri Pleated Leather Wristlet is $1,080 at Nordstrom.

Hello! I have a 5 month old daughter who is learning something new almost every week. For example, she recently started rolling over from her back to her stomach. Is my role as a parent to help facilitate these milestones? Like now I need to start showing her how to roll back the other way? Or use cushions to help position her to do it herself? There’s apps that list daily exercises for you baby physical and mental development. It’s a lot to fit into one day. Are other parents doing these to help their normally developing children, or are they letting them figure things out themselves as long as they’re in the normal age range for a particular skill? Thanks!
I would truly appreciate your thoughts: As I’ve written about in the past month, a young teen died in our small community. The search for the teen was widely publicized. His public memorial is this Sunday. There is a capacity limit of 800 people, and they anticipate that there will not be space for all who want to attend. They are opening doors at 1:45, with the service to start at 2:30 and end at 3:30. My oldest is friends with the teen’s younger sister. The loss truly hit our community hard, and my kids and I felt the loss. I would like to go but I’m weary of being packed in with others, waiting for 45 minutes. My oldest is autistic and struggles with waiting and crowds. I think showing up for memorials/funerals, being part of the community, and a sense of closure are all important. What would you do?
My soon to be 2 year old loves to write numbers and letters. I don’t know why. But he loves it when I guide his hand to write. I want to encourage his interests but want to tread carefully bc I don’t want to be pushy about it.
Are there workbooks out there for kids this small? Tracing workbooks? I’ve seen stuff for preschoolers at Costco but nothing for a 23 month old. Help?
Etiquette question: is it expected that the parents of any kid who participates in a trunk or treat also sign up their car and pass out candy? Or is it okay to drop in, take a young toddler around for 10 minutes, and leave? This is my local park district event in the northeast, fwiw, not my neighbors or anything. But we’ve never done one of these before.
Kid wins?
My son has been at holiday camp next week (at the seabird centre) and he’s the youngest there and didn’t know anyone and he’s handled it like a champ. He’s declared every day the best day ever!
He’s off to London with my husband tomorrow to visit my MILs and I get two days at home by myself. I’m away a lot but I’ve NEVER stayed in our house overnight by myself. Looking forward to dying my hair and doing facial treatments, eating cereal in bed, and getting rid of stuff.
TTC #2 and I already feel myself getting obsessed anxious about the process. #1 took four months and I was so stressed about it even then. No reason so suspect that it might be harder this time but at the same time convinced that it will be. Any ideas (other than therapy) that would help me relax?
