Maternity Monday: ‘City’ Maternity Blazer

Call me stuck in 2012, but I must say, I still love the combo of gray and neon yellow. I think it’s a flattering combination that, particularly in a structured piece like a blazer, lends an easy breath of color to an outfit. Here’s a suggestion: wear the blazer with a black dress and throw on a cobalt accent, either with your shoes or a necklace. The blazer is $188 at Nordstrom. Rosie Pope ‘City’ Maternity Blazer

Travel question: we are going to the Dominican Republic at the end of February with my 6 month old (will be almost 8 months then). I will ask the ped about vaccines etc but does anyone else have any experience?
Hi all. My 23-month-old DD spent all weekend tantruming. Everything was a tantrum! Please tell me this too shall pass!
Any of you who have successfully pumped while driving: teach me your ways! I have an hour commute and park in an open surface lot. TIA and happy new year!
Has anyone used/hired (not sure the right term) an au pair? We are seriously considering asking an au pair to join us for a year. We have the private bedroom and need childcare for 40 hours per week, and currently have a nanny. We are thinking we will need to lease a car, add the au pair to our insurance and obtain a cell phone for her. Any insight into hidden costs, companies, tips or lessons learned? Thank you!!
