Polo shirts leap from summer backyard staple to fall office layer in this fitted version from Banana Republic.
This ribbed polo top is made from Lenzing EcoVero, “a breathable fiber derived from certified renewable wood sources.” It also has classic touches like a button placket and pointed collar, as well as modern ones like elbow length sleeves.
Wear this stretchy knit on its own or as a layer under your favorite suit jacket.
Banana Republic’s Sculpted Cropped Polo is $100 and comes in sizes XXS-XXL. It’s available in “cirrus blue” (a light blue), “iced vanilla ivory,” and black.

Our babysitter has been with us since 2021. She comes over whenever we want to go out for a date night, which is usually once every couple months. In 2021 DS was one year old and she said her rate was $15. Three years later we still pay her at that rate. (We have just the one kid.) Should we be giving her annual raises? She is a great babysitter.
we love Junie B Jones audiobooks.
My newly 4 year old loves audio books. We’ve listened to every Thomas the Tank Engine book ever written, Frog and Toad, and Eric Carle. Any recommendations for longer stories or series? He has a good attention span for books, so I think he could handle some chapter length books. My preference is availability on Spotify or else Hoopla (which depends on my library).
