If you’ve been ogling the new popular Valentino pump but can’t quite swing the $900 when you’ve got childcare payments to make and food to put on the table, check out this very similar style from Nine West. I like the muted suede, the high ankle strap, and the price — they’re $69 (down from $89) at 6pm and Amazon. Nine West Specialty

- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Sorry, I know we’ve talked about this before, but I’m having a hard time finding the conversation. Can anyone recommend a brand of leggings that fit a big and tall toddler girl? My daughter is ~30 lbs and 3 feet tall and just turned 2. I have her in 3Ts and they are skin tight and halfway down her rear end, yet the legs are too long, so I’m hesitant to size up to a 4T, which seems to be exactly the same size around but even longer in the legs. Carters, Old Navy, and Cat & Jack (Target) are all too tight. I had good luck with Hanna Andersson ribbed capris, which fit her perfectly, but for some reason, their longer pants are not cut the same way and are really tight in the waist and the legs. She has thick calves, thick thighs, and a large round rear end that is even larger with the addition of a diaper. Any suggestions?
We’re doing potty training boot camp this weekend. Any favorite activities to keep a rambunctious toddler entertained in the kitchen all day? We will be making and decorating cupcakes, getting out the playdoh and crayons and stickers . . . what else?
Does anyone else give a major side eye to non-parents or other people who say they are tired? Usually its the young kids at work who are “just so tired” and “can’t function”. Today its my mom. She is retired and has a cast on her foot, so she can literally not do anything all day long. I have had horrible sleep all week (hello teething baby!), I get up 4:30 for work after going to bed after 11, and rearranged my weekend to go visit her since she guilt tripped me into it. (I told her months ago that I would not be able to visit every weekend after her surgery) Yet she is too tired today to do the one favor that I asked (because she didn’t sleep well last night)., but not too tired to keep messaging me the recipes I should make for her this weekend. Ugh. I don’t even want to ask if this day is over yet, because the weekend is just going to be me catering to my children and her. Fun times. Maybe I need to have more sympathy for my mom. But I just can’t today.
Over the last few months, my DH has been distant and weird and passive aggressive. He has basically quit touching me. Lots of unnecessary snarky comments and ascribing the worst possible intentions that I don’t actually have. (Ex: he asks where our extra gift boxes are, I say, I’m not sure but it’s fine with me if you just throw it in a gift bag with some tissue; his response is to say “its not helpful when you consdescendingly tell me how to wrap presents. I know how.” (if that gives you the flavor– lots of benign everyday conversations turning nasty out of nowhere)). Sometimes when I reach for his hand he will just ignore it limply until I withdraw. We generally return “love you” texts to each other, and mine have been met with things like “the kid ate a lot of cheese today”. I find myself going to bed early or delaying coming home because I can’t stand the negativity.
He’s a SAHD and doesn’t have very many friends. I’m so tired of being married to someone who treats me like they don’t like me, and I’m tired of the sick feeling always wondering when me offering to pick up milk will turn into meanness or sarcasm. This is not the way he usually is. And the behavior I described above is extremely intermittent– to the point where it’s hard to move forward in my own head because things are frequently loving, silly, thoughtful, and great. But the possibility of this other sh#t makes me unhappy all the time because I never know when it’s coming. I don’t necessarily think this is about me, and I think he has some untreated depression. And yet I frequently find myself wondering how much more of this I can take. Sometimes it feels like I have two kids– our toddler and a sullen teenager. If we weren’t married and didn’t have a kid together, I would be gone.
I’m making a huge effort to stop complaining about this to my friends, but I needed to get this off my chest today.
My oldest (5) has a CT scheduled for Monday morning. Anyone have experience with applying for FMLA before there is a diagnosis?
I swear I had these shoes circa 1998.
I want to lose 10 pounds before we try for #2 and am having a hard time motivating. Once I start seeing results, I know I’ll get there. Any good crash diets that I could do to lose a few pounds and get motivated? No carb, juice cleanse, etc? I’m just eating a lot of crap right now and need a shock to the system to get this ship turned around! Thanks!
Best easy potluck dish for a kids Halloween party?
I could really use some advice on pregnancy and sleep. I’m 20 weeks and for the last couple of weeks, I wake up every single morning at 4am pretty much wide awake and I have no idea why. I can only fall back asleep at like 5:30-6am, which is shortly before I need to get up. This leads to me feeling exhausted and cranky in the morning and so tired by the end of the day at work. I asked my doctor about it and she suggested taking benadryl before bed, but that knocks me out so much that I can really only do it on the weekends. Has anyone gone through this or have any advice? I feel like I can’t keep this cycle up — I’m miserable, cranky and exhausted!
I have always loved my Nine West shoes. And I love this color!
