I don’t know about you, but I hadn’t worn wire-free bras in years until I started nursing my boys. My favorite nursing bra was still an underwire, but after both boys I was left wanting a more comfortable bra for casual days or days around the house, but something that still looked good in case we left for dinner or something like that. As someone on the bustier side, that’s like looking for a unicorn — so I was thrilled when a recent bra-fitting appointment netted me this new find: a super, super comfortable bra. Admittedly, this bra has wires, but the fact that it has a smooth back instead of a hook and eye makes it so much more comfortable, while still supportive (and your back is super smooth, and there’s a bit of shaping power so your tum is a bit more smoothed too) — it’s really amazing. I bought both the full-length version as well as one of the “shorteez” — you have to wiggle into both by pulling them on over your head and it takes a bit of manipulation to get yourself in, but once you are you’re super comfortable. The cami + bra version is $91, available at Amazon or Unbelievabra.com. Shapeez Unbelievabra

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?
When did you move your baby from a rear-facing car seat to a forward-facing one? Did you base your decision on height, weight, or age (or all 3)? I have a long lean 16 month old who kind of hates her rear-facing bucket seat, but I feel like I need to keep her rear-facing for at least a few more months. I’m also not anxious to drop $150 on a new car seat. So, advice? Also, what car seat did you get when you moved to forward-facing?
Has anyone moved with a newborn? We are contemplating a cross country move with what will be a 6-8week old. And two cats. And we’re insane.
Does anyone have any experience, anecdotes, or horror stories?
No comments? Here, I’ll leave one – how is your office and your daycare handling the 4th of July this year? I just found out both daycare and camp will be closed the 3rd – oops, didn’t pay attention to that on the calendar. My office is giving us the choice of taking off the 3rd or the 6th, which I think is a kind and reasonable way to handle it.
Happy weekend all!
