Sometimes, you just want a machine washable basic black sheath. Old Navy has delivered on this point in the past — I don’t think this is the exact dress that I had a few seasons ago, but it’s very close. I like that it comes in regular, petite, and tall — whereas with Lands’ End I tend to get petite sizes (at 5’4″), at Old Navy I sometimes get tall sizes so they’re the length I want them to be. This dress comes down to $18ish with the “take an extra 15% off” sale going on online today (no code needed); it’s also available in a fun blue striped version and a pink striped version.

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?
For those of you with multiple kids — what gift for the third kid was appreciated? I’m leaning toward bibs/burp cloths, as perhaps they haven’t endured as well as other items. Hooded towels/blankets? Anything else I’m missing?
I like it! I ordered the similar maternity version, and found an additional $15 off coupon…if you type in “nature” it is $15 off orders $50 or more. Yay! I needed some tops to wear to work with the maternity pants I finally broke down and bought, since it’s been 80s / 90s here!
I’m weaning from the pump this week after 10+ months of EBFing twins. Great, right?! However, it is hard to get myself over the “wasted milk” as I reduce the length of my sessions and taper down. I am mentally fine to switching to formula as my rapidly dwindling freezer stash runs out, but it is hard not to, quite literally, squeeze out every last drop since it isn’t an issue of supply (just time!)
In terms of a real question – Would you recommend using a bottle this first weekend vs nursing on demand? Will it ruin the taper (which started in force Tuesday)
My 6-year-old has started asking to have a friend sleep over. I am thinking that at this age, that entails (on a weekend night): dinner (pizza or other kid-friendly fare), some sort of movie or fun activity (late night at the pool or mini golf), some sort of splurge dessert (ben & jerry’s run), staying up a bit too late, changing into PJs and brushing teeth, sleeping in, breakfast, and then a parent picks the friend up. [So: no baths, friend packs an overnight bag.] We have an extra high-back booster car seat.
What am I forgetting / getting wrong? The last sleepovers I remember were junior high parties or in high school where I am relieved that there was no facebook/instagram back then.
One factor will be for 5-year-old sibling to be occupied a bit and fussed over (as the envisioned friend is a mutual friend, but not coming primarily to visit her).
I am planning on traveling by plane by myself with my 6 month old son over the holiday weekend. I am planning on taking my car seat and stroller. I am planning on buying a pack n’play and having it shipped to my destination. I have so many questions I’m not sure where to start! If you breastfed, did you take additional bottles with food for the flight? If not, where did you nurse at the airport? Any tips for flying or traveling with a baby?
In the same vein, Already Pretty had a run down of knee length dresses with half sleeves this morning. Will post the link in a reply.
Love this. And at 39 w 1 d, I cannot WAIT to wear normal people clothes again!
Anyone out there had their membranes stripped as a way of prompting labor? I have a doc appointment today and I’m pretty sure it’s going to come up as an option. For context, my first child was 8 days late and came on her own; my water broke at the hospital. Kid #2 was 8 days early and after a day of laboring, they broke my water and he arrived a few hours later. I don’t love pain (drugs! ALL OF THE DRUGS) but part of me wants to get this show on the road. Thoughts?
