Accessory Tuesday: Legend Signature Tote

I’ve had my eye on a Dagne Dover tote for ages and I think I’m ready to commit.
Their Legend Signature Tote is my choice for a roomy work-to-weekend bag — it can hold most 15-inch laptops, plus a pair of shoes and change of clothes. Perfect for me since I used to head straight to work from my workout.
The top also zips closed to keep your essentials from spilling out, and the interior features tons of useful pockets like a bottle holder and laptop sleeve. I also like the easy care and durability of coated canvas.
The tote is $265, but several colors are on sale for $159, including my pick, Bleecker Blush, a go-with-anything greige. If the Legend is a bit too large for you, check out the Classic Signature Tote.

Anyone here walking to daycare? What are your logistics?
My husband drops off our son in daycare in the morning by car and I pick him up on foot (I take the train to the office).
So far my husband leaves an umbrella stroller in daycare but that is just one more thing to remember to put in the car at night and store there in the morning, so I am wondering if there is any other way?
I am considering taking the bike to the train station and picking son up with a bike seat… then all we would have to remember is his helmet.
I probably just have to wait until he is old enough to walk the entire way but maybe you ladies have good ideas :)
Not sure I should have laugh or cry. I took T to his 4 year development check, and my very verbal, articulate kid spent the whole time pretending to be a cat?? Just meowed in response to anything.
It had rained during the appointment so our bike seats were wet and he declared to the nursery teacher that we had wet bums
My 3 y old just started daycare a week ago and is a mess when he comes home. He seems happy at drop off and when I get him and is typically there 9-5ish with a 2 hour nap there. But when he comes home he screams the whole ride home and is cranky / it’s one tantrum after the other. He also tells us every morning he doesn’t want to go to school and want to stay home. He was with a nanny before. Is this normal?? What can I do to help Him? It sucks bc I am an academic so a lot of times I can just end the day at 3 and get him after his nap (he’s better when I do that but not great) but it’s gonna hurt my career eventually if I keep doing that. with this and covid I am beginning to think switching from nanny to preschool was a big mistake.
Any book recommendations for books about younger kid anger? Something both to read to my 4.5 yo and for me to read? He’s able to articulate the feeling of the anger sometimes but it’s turning into hitting himself and me during a tantrum. All the techniques I’ve tried aren’t helping (holding him, telling him I won’t let him hurt himself/me, putting him in a safe space). I didn’t experience anything like this with my first and am overwhelmed.
Looking for book recommendations for my 4 year old. She strongly prefers silly/funny books to serious ones, and I’m happy to indulge her if it helps her enjoy reading.
I do not know why this is so hard for me to figure out, but what type and size of coat does DS need for winter? DS is 6 months and just getting into 9M clothes. I would guess that over the next 6 months he will be in 9M and 12M clothes. We live in the SEUS, so it gets cold but it’s not like he needs a snowsuit. I am seeing a lot of full-body bear suits that I’m assuming are for a stroller ride and possibly a younger baby? But then a lot of the puffer jackets I’m seeing do not have sizes under 12M… so I’m wondering if he’s too young for that for some reason?
I am getting ads for name label stamps for kids clothes. Seems much easier than the stick-on labels but I wonder if the ink bleeds. Does anyone have experience and a favorite brand?
Can someone help me plan outfits for family photos? Northeast fall outdoor photos. I’m planning on wearing the Maeve Devery dress in plaid blue (link below) with booties. I need matching outfits for my husband + two daughters (1 and 5). Do I put us all in blue? Blue and another color? I’m so bad at this!
Should I pay for another year of cold storage or just thaw my eggs and have a baby?
On the one hand, I really had hoped to find a husband. And I’d like to find a new job and settle in pre-baby. And buy a house and move.
On the other hand I’m 38, I make 170k a year, I’ve paid off my student loans, and I just want a kid! And I’m tired of waiting.
Has anyone here seen a pediatric GI? My almost 9-month old has had slow weight gain and spits up a LOT (still), and often throws up when overfull (like after dinner since he’s had milk and solids all day). I haven’t been able to give him anything too textured yet.
The pediatrician thinks its GERD but wants the GI to take a look which I’m onboard with, but would love to hear others experiences.
Kiddo announced at breakfast that he had a dream that we all wore matching pajamas on Christmas morning. So…. where to look for these? I’m not crazy about the Hanna offerings so far (am on the list for notifications when new ones get added) and Target doesn’t have their Christmas ones up yet. Where else should be on my list? I’m cusp size, kiddo is 6, DH can wear straight men’s sizes. Thank you!
I have this bag! It’s great BUT I will say it’s heavy, and obviously gets heavier once things are added. I wouldn’t recommend it for a walking or public transit commute.
following up on the above. one of my 3 year old twins has recently become a biter when she gets really mad/is super tired. so far the primary victim is her twin sister, though on Friday she bit me while sitting on my lap bc her sister took away her stuffie. i’ve read how to talk so little kids will listen and follow big little feelings, dr becky at home, etc. on instagram. in the moment, i tell her that it is ok to feel angry, it is not ok to bite, so i am going to move my body/sister’s body some place safe. after the fact, we talk about what to do when we feel like biting. on sunday she saw a huge bruise on my leg and asked what it was and it was from her biting me on friday. she looked so upset/scared in the moment, so we again talked about what to do when we feel really mad/sad and some things that are ok to bite, and i was hoping that maybe seeing the mark on me had an impact, but then she bit her sister again yesterday when her sister was bothering her and wouldn’t leave her alone despite her asking (according to our nanny). any books for kiddo to discourage biting? the bites really hurt and take quite a few days to heal so im getting worried she is going to really hurt her sister. they often play together very nicely and are very sweet with each other
Can I have your recs for favorite nice(ish) maternity tee shirts? It’s my final pregnancy. I’ll be WFH the whole time, and live in the southeast so a tee shirt plus jeans/shorts/skirt plus blazer/cardigan/AC layer is going to be my maternity capsule wardrobe. It’s been five years since my last pregnancy and I cannot do the cheapo tees I got from Motherhood Maternity again.
where does one purchase kids placemats these days?
