These cute raffia sandals are great for showing off a fresh pedicure!
These textured slingback sandals feature scalloped trim, a cushioned footbed, and wrapped block heel. They would be great for adding a little spring to your 9-to-5 wardrobe (obviously a know-your-office situation).
Pair these sandals with a flowy dress or even a tailored suit.
The Raine Raffia Slingback Sandal is $89 at Nordstrom and comes in natural/black or pink. It’s available in whole and half sizes 6–11.

What is everyone doing/asking for this mother’s day? I need ideas of what I can ask for. I’m in a busy time at work but I will be sad if I say I don’t want anything and the day ends up being lackluster.
If you witnessed other kids on your kid’s sport team repeatedly making negative comments about your kid (eg pointing out every time your kid missed a throw, saying your kid isn’t a good batter, etc) would you say something to the coaches about it? 4th graders.
CB (or anyone else),
Debating a portugal (algarve) vs. scotland trip for our family next summer. We’d like to stay for a month. Ideally, my kids would be able to do some sort of (english speaking) summer camp for half days (they will be 6 and 8) for 2 or so weeks. What do you recommend?? I’m looking for walkable/metro towns i.e. not the car dependent suburban town we live in America, playgrounds/family friendly activities with hiking, beaches, or other natural beauty. Would love any thoughts you have!
Ranting into the void: I am so tired of my mother giving me baby sleep advice that is silly/outdated/something I told her I don’t want to do. I have repeatedly told her I don’t care if/when my son sleeps through the night. Why does she care so damn much? It’s not like she’s getting up with him.
That is all, carry on.
I just read this essay on big families. As the parent of an only, it all sounds so foreign to have four or more kids! The only families I know either have a SAHM or plenty of money to hire lots of help.

Has anyone done NIPT through Natera recently? How long did it take to get the results? I’m hoping to have them in hand before an MFM consultation next Friday and I just got blood drawn yesterday.
Has anyone done carpal tunnel release surgery? I have CT in both hands and will need surgery at some point before it worsens. I have a 1 and 3 year old and solo parent a lot. What is the recovery like and how much help will I need for cooking/cleaning/child snuggling? Should DH take vacation time to help with recovery?
My mum is coming to rescue us – my husband is 2 weeks post-surgery and isn’t 100%, I had a major work trip and deadline, the government almost collapsed so I was doing media all day yesterday, and surprise, my bad cold turned out to be Covid. I tried to put off my mum, but she’s determined. She’s also got my kid’s Willy Wonka costume for a costume birthday party on Saturday. I started feeling a bit rubbish Wednesday PM so hoping 6 days on, I’m out of the contagious period.
What are other’s experiences with drinking alcohol in the mid 40’s? I went to a bachelorette party this weekend and I’m still recovering. I have never been a good drinker but seems like recovering gets worse with age. I also don’t really catch a buzz. Wondering if this has happened to others.
