I occasionally turn to H&M for both basics and those little things that make outfits pop. Until recently, I had no idea they also made nursing clothes.
These short-sleeved, fitted nursing tops are perfect for spring and summer. Made from stretchy and soft organic cotton jersey, they have a wrap front and inner top for easy nursing or pumping access.
Available in convenient two-packs of neutral, universally flattering colors/patterns, they’re the quintessential basic. Add sweats for lounging or jeans for outings with your little one.
A two-pack of these tops is $29.99 at H&M. They’re available in four different sets in sizes XS–XXL.

Dear spouse,
What part of “I am going to be on a videoconference with the state supreme court so don’t come in here for the next two hours” don’t you understand?

Masks have been off in our schools for exactly two weeks. Both kids (8 and 11) are home sick today – not covid, just a nasty cold. While I feel ok today, I can feel that beginning to be sick feeling in the back of my throat and a slight headache. I’m so out of practice with illness sweeping through our home. Thoughts on things to prep for the next several days in case I’m less able to function?
i just sent out an electronic invitation for my twins birthday party. they are turning 3. we are having the type of party where the number of guests doesn’t really matter, but I specifically sent the invite to the name of the kid in their class, and then assumed they would show up with a parent or two (if they are an only child and both want to come). some of their classmates replied for multiple kids. next year my twins will be in different classes and i would never just take both to a birthday party, even if it is just at a playground, when the invitation is sent to one kid and if for some logistical reason i had to, i would ask the parents if it is ok. do people just assume siblings are invited too without asking?
Random win of the day: I’m 9 months postpartum, we’re headed to a beach vacation at the end of April and I found some cute swimsuits off Amazon that make me feel good!
I have a new boss as of yesterday, and I’m feeling off balance. I worked with my previous manager for 5 years and forgot how awkward and stressful the first few months can be as we get to know each other.
My toddler also cried for me at dropoff this morning which he hasn’t done in months.
In good news, I’m taking up riding lessons again. It is the one hobby I have just for myself and I’m super excited about it.
Arghhh just a vent. My city seems to have no outdoor weekend/evening swim lessons. All the outdoor pool swim lessons are taught during the workday. There are fitness centers that have Saturday lessons but they’re all indoors and we’d really prefer outdoors for Covid reasons, especially not knowing what numbers will look like in June and July. My 4 year old really wants and needs swim lessons this summer but I feel like there are no good options.
We haven’t done indoor playdates since last fall pre-Omicron. Numbers are VERY low in our area (lower than they were at the lowest point last summer) and we’d like to start inviting some classmates over. What’s the current thinking on mask etiquette? We don’t feel the need to wear them given how low cases are currently, but are happy to if it would make the other family more comfortable. Do we say that when we reach out to set up the playdate? School is masks-required indoors, masks optional outdoors and most kids don’t mask outdoors. Kids are 4 and 5, so a mix of vaxxed and unvaxxed, if it matters.
Need hive help! I was laying in bed with the kiddos this morning for cuddles and the kids started joking around about what kind of tattoo we should all get. No one in our family has a tattoo, so a total silly joke. They suggested a puppy, image of our cat, silly stuff. Then my seven year old said to get a tattoo of a p nis on a face to look like it’s going in the mouth.
I panicked. I managed to say that is not appropriate, private parts stay private. We have talked all about body parts and how babies are made, thanks to “Its Not the Stork.”
I asked if kids have been joking about stuff like this at school and mentioned that it was a joke when I was a kid, but didn’t get much info.
WTF?!! In some ways I really miss the pandemic days, while they were exhausting, at least I could keep my kids in a bubble.
We have a weird problem with our 7-year-old. Every couple of weeks, she gets sick for an evening. Like throws up once, conks out in her bed in the late afternoon, then wakes up in the morning feeling fine and like her normal self. I think it would be really unusual to be getting an illness that follows this pattern every single time. Is it possible that she’s just exhausting her little self and this is her body’s way of coping? And if so, how do we give this poor kid some margin? This weekend was busy-ish, but not crazy? On Saturday, we had people over in the morning and she had a soccer game in the afternoon, which definitely left her tired. After we got home from soccer, she vegged in front of the TV, played on her own, and went to bed at her normal time. On Sunday, we went to church but chilled at home the entire day.
Advice on how to handle this situation? I have a 6 yo and a 2 yo. At dinner last night, the 6 yo started to tell us a story about her day. The 2 yo started making babbling noises, drowning out what the 6 yo was saying. The 6 yo tried talking over the noise but eventually got frustrated. Parents tried talking to 2 yo, saying, “sister is speaking, please be quiet and listen, when she’s done it’s your turn,” reminding him of this multiple times gently but firmly, but he continued (because he’s 2). 6 yo eventually got frustrated and mad and refused to continue, 2 yo started crying loudly, both parents were frustrated and the 6 yo never got to finish her story. I know this is typical 2 yo behavior but I felt frustrated on 6 yo’s behalf that she didn’t get a chance to speak. What would you have done? I know we could just ask the 6 yo to wait until 2 yo is getting ready for bed but that seems to send the wrong message. She should be able to participate in family conversations over dinner without having to compete with a 2 yo. Am I just being overly sensitive about this? As someone who hates being interrupted, this just really frustrated me.
This should be a fairly basic find but for some reason I’m having trouble – any recs for light, easy to pull on, non-legging, cotton pants for a potty training toddler? LO’s favorite pants are a tagless ribbed pair that came home from daycare but I haven’t found a dupe.
For the mom looking for bike learning tips: here is the tip that saved our backs: put a backpack on your kid (ideally one with a chest clip so it stays on well) and hold kid by the backpack handle. SO MUCH EASIER than holding the saddle!
