I’m eyeing these booties at Nordstrom — not only are they on sale and SUPER highly rated (156 reviews and almost 5 stars!), but they look purrr-fect. Flattering dip in the vamp to elongate your leg? Check. Walkable heel? Check. Cute colors? Check. This matte gray suede is nice, but it also comes in black, sizes 5.5-10.5, for $259 (was $389). Paul Green ‘Delgado’ Ankle Bootie

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 am in my mid twenties but we took 3 years to get pregnant. Didn’t need any assistance in the end but it took three years and one miscarriage.
Husband is in no hurry to have any more but I am concerned that if put it off past 30 I won’t conceive and carry again. I also want another baby. Husband wants one eventually. I’m worried that there is no “eventually” given our history. Thoughts?
Anyone wait and regret it?
I checked into the main s!te recently and saw a long conversation between commenters who are all experiencing a feeling of “fogginess.” I’ve been struggling with this; the constant feeling that if I tried *just a little harder* or focused a little better I could probably finish up all the things that are on my to-do list, but that something is in the way of making that little extra effort.
I didn’t want to weigh in on the main board because it can be such a minefield….but I thought I’d put it out on here, which feels safer. I’ve been seeing a therapist for three years now (he tells me everything is fine, objectively, which is true maybe?). I have been on medication (Zoloft) for three years. The urgent peril I felt when I started therapy and meds has dissipated, but the fog is still there and sometimes debilitating, especially at work. I never got much sense of relief when I started meds, and my psychiatrist has upped the dose a couple times but I never felt a difference.
I’ve come to think that maybe this fog just is my normal, but….I would love to hope for better. Commiseration or anecdotes or advice appreciated.
Kat and I normally have VERY different tastes in shoes, but I really like these. They’re not in my budget but super cute.
Searching for a reasonably priced crib in white. Anyone have one they would recommend? TIA!
I have these. They are reallllllly comfortable. The black looks off in person, though.
Can anyone explain, generally (I realize it will vary for insurance companies), the process of filing a STD claim for maternity leave? I’ve tried to take care of everything I can before the baby comes (like the FMLA paperwork), but it looks like this is something I will have to handle after baby, and I would like an idea of what it will entail. My STD policy is through my work, but when I contacted HR, they just gave me a phone number to file a claim with the insurance company.
