I have wide feet, and it’s hard finding shoes that are both cute and comfortable. These slingback sandals might be what I need for spring.
These 2.25-inch-heel sandals have a cushioned footbed with arch support. The cone-shaped heel and rubber sole both give stability — you can dash for the train and dance the night away. And best of all, they come in five widths so you can find the perfect fit.
Munro’s Rochelle Slingback Sandals are $189.95 at Nordstrom. They’re available in five colors and sizes 5–13.

My husband just casually mentioned a 4 day fishing trip he’s going on with coworkers- that’s scheduled for 3 months after I’m due to give birth to our second child/the week I’ll likely return to work from maternity leave.
Neither of us really solo travel/parent. I remember those first couple of weeks back to work being pretty hard and stressful and adding a 2 year old to the mix seems not fun. I need a reality check though- how bad do you think that weekend would be for me? How much help/support should we be scheduling if he does make the trip (we currently have none outside of daycare)?
my daughters are asking for headbands – where do you get comfortable ones for your kids that don’t hurt them behind the ears?
Has anyone given birth in a teaching hospital? What was your experience like and would you do it again?
Why is it impolite to ask questions? I’m trying to explain social norms to an autistic family member, but the truth is I don’t really understand it myself. Recent examples: asking someone if they are working or striking; asking someone if they are accompanying family to the hospital; asking someone what a (visible) tattoo means…
Paging lawyer mom! I am curious how many hours per day do you bill. I work for a small firm and I will around 5-6 hours per day and I’m exhausted. Does it ever get easier? I’ve been practicing for 6 years and I still find myself tired and anxious due to work.
How concerned should we be that teachers (both school and extracurricular) are telling us our 5 year old is doing a bad job listening and following directions? My kid has always been very strong-willed with big emotions at home, but it hasn’t spilled over to school until recently. I’m not sure if it’s the confidence that comes from being a “big kid” (she’s one of the older ones in a mixed age class this year) or the lack of individualized teacher attention (class size is much larger this year than last), but this school year has been rough and the preschool teachers seem to be getting more and more frustrated with her behavior. It was primarily a school issue for a long time, but in recent weeks two different extracurricular teachers have commented to us that she’s been doing a very bad job listening in class. There’s nothing out of the ordinary going on at home that would explain this, and in fact her emotional regulation and behavior at home has gotten a lot better over the last year.
We’re getting her hearing tested at the recommendation of her preschool teacher, but I’m wondering if we should be pushing the ped to do something like ADHD screening. I just don’t have a good sense of what is normal at this age in terms of inattentiveness and not listening. I was always very well-behaved in school (i.e. extremely quiet) and never got on the wrong side of teachers, but I know that’s not necessarily ideal either. While I obviously want my kid to respect teachers and peers and not talk when it’s not her turn, part of me is relieved that she’s not painfully shy like I was. Teachers are frustratingly vague about whether or not this is an Issue with a capital I – they talk to us frequently at the end of the day and always seem very annoyed/upset during these conversations, but then the official conferences (we’ve had two so far this school year) have been very positive, so I feel like we’re getting a real mixed message here.
What did you all do with your older kids when you went into labor with subsequent babies, especially those of you who don’t have family nearby? Have a 2.5 year old and due in April with our 2nd. No family in town but 2-3 good friends who would drop everything to help. The current plan is for my mom to travel in about a week before my due date and stay for a few weeks so hopefully this will be a non-issue, but I’m trying to contingency plan in case I go into labor before she comes. It’s not an option for her to come any sooner due to a significant professional commitment.
For some reason I woke up in a cold sweat last night stressing about what we will do if my water breaks in the middle of the night and we have to rush to the hospital before my mom is here (which is pretty much how it went down during my first delivery)… on a related note, also taking tips on managing third trimester insomnia…
Low stakes baby name question: how much weight do you give to initials spelling out a word? We’re not into monogramming things, so I doubt it would come up much, but curious if other folks notice.
Have any of you successfully downsized? Our house is both too big for us and poorly set up for kids (loud, open floor plan, lots of access points to the pool – which we have covered atm). We’re walking distance to the elementary school, so I should probably just be thankful, but I dream of relocating to a one story.
I am starting to travel more for work again and am finding that leaving my two young kids makes me extremely anxious. I never used to be like this, but I got so used to having everyone home and “in the nest” during Covid that I find being geographically far from them incredibly difficult. I know they’re in good hands with their caretakers but I find it really hard to relax or focus totally when I’m far away from them, and I frequently find myself ruminating on worst case scenarios.
Has anyone else experienced this? I don’t have a lot of anxiety typically, so this is new for me. Is this the kind of thing I’d ask my doctor about Xanax for?
