Fleece at the office? Maybe if it’s this tailored coat from Uniqlo.

This coat is made from cuddly, warm fleece. It’s even lined with microfleece and a thin, windproof film to keep you warm. The roomy cut is perfect for layering, and the wide lapel collar takes it out of the camping realm. As the temps drop, this coat’s neutral colors are the perfect backdrop for a bright, cheerful scarf.

Uniqlo’s Pile-Lined Fleece Tailored Coat is $79.90 and comes in sizes XXS–XXL. It’s available in dark gray, beige, and brown.

Anyone going anywhere fun for fall break? I’m continuing my tradition of a solo trip with my kid and taking her to Colorado.

my colleague’s 6 month old daugther just got homework from daycare. she is supposed to decorate this picture of a pumpkin by tomorrow. it was handed out on Monday. obviously this means the parents are supposed to do it, but i don’t understand – isnt the point of daycare that they will do messy things like paint etc. with your kid there so you dont have to do it at home?

My husband is not willing to allow our youngest child (under 1 year) to be indoors anywhere because he is not fully Covid vaccinated yet. He’s had 2 shots and the 3rd is delayed b/c of the delay in the AAP issuing its guidance on the monovalent booster for under 5s. I am comfortable with this small risk – he is not. And because he will be out of town for a few weeks for work, this means no indoor activities for our 3 year old (b/c no one to watch the baby). UGH.

I know he is trying to do the right thing, but this no longer feels like we are following the science.

For those of you with school aged kids who WFH with flexible jobs, do you do after school care? We transitioned from daycare to K this year and are now wondering whether to keep doing it. We started with it just in case, but it seems that I could swing not doing it. It is a good program, for what it is worth. Kid loves it and gets to be pulled out for activities during it, such as soccer, t-ball, basketball. Things haven’t been too busy for now, and I can control meeting times for the most part. Help me think through pros and cons? My biggest worry is that things could pick up in the future where it would become stressful, and also what to do with a kid for so many hours every evening.

A part of this may be stemming from guilt related to doing it. It seems that a lot of moms at the school don’t work, and in theory it could work with WFH.
