Summer puts me in the mood to try a bold print like this one.
This midi dress from Boden has a sleek column silhouette, matching self-tie belt, and side slits so you can get to where you want to go. Add a pair of block heeled sandals and dangly earrings for an instant outfit.
Note that the comments mention it runs long, so this may be a great choice if you’re taller.
Boden’s Short-Sleeve Column Midi Dress is on sale for $158.40 (originally $198; all new styles are 20% off today) and comes in sizes 2 to 20/22 as well as petites. It’s available in black and bright emerald.

I forgot to order a Fire tablet in last week’s sale for DS #2. We have an upcoming international flight next month (but it’s only ~3 hours). So annoyed at myself!
We have the same tablet for DS #1, and honestly – we downloaded some of the games/videos but I feel like for most of what he wants to watch we still have to flip it to adult mode (e.g. accessing Netflix). Is this right?
Is the Guava Lotus travel crib worth it? We have a few upcoming trips with DD, currently 7 months. She hasn’t spent a night outside our house yet and after hating two bassinets (a Graco Pack n Play and a Fisher Price bassinet) I’m nervous about how to get her to sleep away from home. We moved her into her own room around 1 month namely because she slept so much better in the crib.
In general, I haven’t bought any fancy baby stuff though we could easily afford it. I’m wondering if the Guava is truly worth all the hype.
Anyone on here a Mainer or knowledgeable about Maine? Already dreaming of next summer and wondering if there are local realty offices etc. I should be reaching out to if interested in booking a summer rental (versus airbnb or vrbo). Also wondering if folks have thoughts on Boothby v. Blue Hill areas specifically. Thanks!
Birthday present ideas for grandparents to give a 3-year-old? Loves being outside and has a lot of “big” things already – play kitchen, balance bike, scooter, etc.
I moved to Charlotte during the pandemic from an area where we didn’t go to summer camp as kids, especially if you had a mom at home in the summer. Can someone explain places like SeaFarer/Seagull (which is a Y camp) and Ilahee? It terrifies me a bit to hear other moms say “well, they don’t want too many Charlotte girls at any given time, so it is very hard to get into if you didn’t go there.” Like what did I get myself and my kids into by moving here?
Apologies if this is a duplicate. Where would you travel in Europe in September with a 10 month old baby? We, the parents, have been to most of Western Europe and would be open to repeating. Probably not Switzerland as we’ve been there a lot to visit family. Eastern Europe/Scandinavia would be new to us.
Inspired by the travel threads yesterday!
Long shot, but does anyone have a recommendation for an insulated container that can keep a portion of ice cream somewhat solid for a few hours?
My kids’ elementary school doesn’t have air conditioning. And when it gets very hot, they just won’t eat, which means they’re in rough shape by the time they get home. I’m hoping maybe ice cream will be tempting and refreshing.
