There are a lot of affordable lockets out there, especially if you look on Etsy for a one-of-a-kind, or check out thrift stores, and so on. If you’re the kind of person who likes new jewelry and you want to wear a picture of a parent, grandparent, child, or a wedding photo, etc., you must know about Monica Rich Kosann. I was looking through her shop at Time Warner Center recently, and her pieces are all stunningly beautiful. The pictured sterling silver locket with diamonds is $795 at Bergdorf Goodman.

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?
Our 5 year old has started hitting/punching herself when she is frustrated. What are some ways to redirect this frustration- I just don’t know what to do.
I am full of questions today. Did any of you or your partners have concerns with babysitters putting your kid to bed? Basically my kid has only been babysat by family (she’s two now) except for occasional daytime sitting from a neighbor. But I would really like to have the neighbor babysit kid through bedtime, so H and I can go out for a reasonable dinner.
H is convinced having babysitter put kiddo to bed will go terribly. I am not sure that will happen, but I also think that, worst case scenario, she doesn’t sleep. Like what terrible thing will result?
Any advice or insights? Any thoughts on how to convince my husband to see it my way?
More sleep questions – Kiddo is almost 3 and #2 is on the way. They will need to share a room. When can baby be moved into kiddo’s room? How do you sleep train/CIO with a shared room? Also, kiddo is really intent on getting a bunk bed, at what age can a kid sleep in a bunk bed? She’s in a crib still and Ive kind of been hoping for a lofted crib solution, but i haven’t seen anything like that.
The time has come — what is your best “no hitting” book recommendation?
Because Kiddo is “using her hands in a rough way” at school and freaking whacking my elbow with her sippy at home. She’s 2.
For all the worries about sleep – my son used to be a terrible sleeper. Sometimes he’d be up for 2 hours in the middle of the night. A normal night was 3 or 4 wakeups. A good night was 2. He didn’t sleep through the night until 21 months, well after we weaned. All sleep training attempts, gentle or CIO, failed completely. For almost 2 years I went around in a sleep-deprived, rage-filled haze, resentful of the world and the people whose babies just slept right through the night from 2 months or whatever. And then – it was like a switch flipped. He sleeps, now, at age 2. He naps for 2 or 3 hours at daycare. He conks out at 8 and wakes up for a sip of water at midnight and sleeps right through to 5.30 or 6. I wonder if it’s really, truly a developmental milestone that they just have to reach.
Also need sleep advice: DD has slept in the rock n play next to our bed since about 1 week. She was a crazy grunted and we weren’t getting any sleep with her in the bassinet. Now she’s 12 weeks and I want to transition her into the crib (like, tonight) because a) I think she’s getting a flat spot on the back of her head from the Rock n Play and b) she has to sleep in a crib at daycare which she is starting soon. Any advice? I’m going to sleep in her room tonight and I’m just mentally preparing myself to be up all night.
Early third trimester here. We are setting up the nursery, and I have also registered for a small bassinet for our bedroom. I know the AAP used to recommend sleeping with the baby in the same room for 6 mos. and now recommends 12 mos, which seems insane to me. This is something I plan to discuss with the pediatrician, but am I crazy for intending that baby sleep in the nursery in the crib (which is also a cooler room I might add)? Maybe not when she’s feeding every two hours, but once we get past that stage and she is sleeping a little longer (maybe 3-4 hours)? My mother thinks I’m crazy for considering having the kid in the bedroom at all, but I also had to explain to her that we don’t put bumpers or comforters in cribs anymore, so she’s a little out of touch. We are planning to use a video monitor and the Snuza that clips onto the diaper. What do people really do?
Love lockets.
Not a question, not a rant. Not sure what I am trying to even say here. I’m 9 days late. We have a toddler. Have been undecided about more kids. Obviously we were okay with a bit of calculated risk but now that it seems like it might be the case I am weirdly nervous and panicked? All I can think is how I don’t want to give up my body for year plus of pregnancy and then nursing and how our life has just gotten comfortable with our toddler and we finally have enough room and having a new little one would upend all of that, not to mention that we wouldn’t be able to travel or give kid no. 1 the same things if we had childcare expenses for two to worry about ….
On top of all this, my office is undergoing a restructuring and my job, while secure, is about to become a lot duller. In many ways this is a perfect opportunity to lean out but I also feel resentful of the fact that if I am what I think I am then I will be foregoing a chance to switch things up and maybe lean in somewhere else, if that makes sense? Anyway, not sure what I’m trying to ask or say. Just wanted to get that off my chest. I know step 1 is to take a test. This could all be much ado about nothing. I’m just in that really weird spot where I just really, really don’t want to know :-/
Any experience with pregnancy induced hypertension/gestational hypertension?
I’m 35 weeks and was just diagnosed last week. I had a nonstress test and labs done to check for preeclampsia and everything came back fine, but I’m now on blood pressure medication, having a ton of extra monitoring, and will be induced at 39 weeks.
I had none of the risk factors and didn’t have this with my first pregnancy, so I’m a bit overwhelmed.
Does anyone actually manage to be productive while pumping in the office? I’m fortunate to have a private office with a locking door, and I always intend to get stuff done while pumping. But the set up is awkward with my keyboard and the stress involved in actually working causes a noticeable supply drop. I guess I’m just looking for commiseration or advice on tasks that others do.
Rookie mistake: if you teach your two year old how to play peek-a-boo with their unborn sibling using your shirt, they will invariably want to try it again in church. Good thing for over the bump maternity panels on pants!
