I really like this linen top that is also work appropriate. I like the black stripes with the black buttons down the front; I also like that the fabric makes the white part a little less white, and the black more toned down, so the contrast of the stripes is a little easier on the eyes.
I also love how it’s collarless, which adds to this top being easy and comfortable to wear.
When the weather gets super hot, linen is the only fabric that I can bear in long sleeves — and these sleeves look loose and comfortable as well. The top is currently on sale for $79.20 at Lord & Taylor. Striped Button Front Linen Shirt

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?
I’ve been reading this blog before I was a mom and now my son is 20 months. Picked up so many tips that I filed for later. One that has worked really well for me recently is pretending to catch the “bunnies” in his mouth while brushing his teeth. He gets a kick out of it and it’s pretty effective! Any other random, general “small wins” or tips like this anyone wants to share?
When did BLW start? My kids are 10 and 12 and I had heard of it before yesterday’s discussion, but never paid it much attention. And I thought it was about weaning (not introducing foods). I clearly have been out of the young-baby side of parenting for a WHILE. I am a bit relieved that I missed this — there was too much drama back when I was in the thick of it (and now I just work and re-re-re-plan our summer camp schedule, so no time for drama).
Early elementary parents – what sort of plans are you making for the fall? My district is starting to talk more seriously about the alternating schedules (one group of kids Mon/Wed, the other Tues/Thurs). I don’t know how to make that work with multiple kids and working parents. So far no talk about kids from the same family on the same schedule. I don’t know how to make that work when my kids are too old for daycare but too young to stay home by themselves (so in that kindergarten to 4th/5th grade range).
Our current summer setup (using a combo of college students and teachers for whom summer school has been cancelled) doesn’t work when those groups are back to school. I literally can’t think of any other options and don’t know what else to consider or where to look. Any ideas I can try to start tracking down?
Anyone have experience with the various toddler-size armchairs? I’d like to buy one at some point but having a hard time finding reviews. It looks like the options are the PB Anywhere chairs vs. the Ugly-Where chairs vs. the Nod chairs from Crate and Barrel.
I found that I think is really cute from the last brand, but saw some reviews suggesting that doesn’t hold up as well as the PB ones. Any experience? And what about the Ugly-where chairs? Are you sacrificing quality for the price point?
When do kids really NEED socialization with other kids? My 2.5 year old hasn’t played with another kid since her daycare closed in early March. Daycare is “tentative” for a September reopening, but it’s hard to feel optimistic about that, since it seems like there will surely be more cases in September than there are now, and even if they do open I don’t expect them to stay open for long. We didn’t do playdates before this started (since she was on the young side of 2 and we figured full-time daycare was plenty of socialization) and it seems really weird to reach out to a family we’ve never hung out with right now, since a lot of people are still being cautious and avoiding contact with people they don’t know well. Other daycares in our city are open now, and we’re considering switching to one (although that would be sad since we all love her school) but due to insane waiting lists in our area we’re unlikely to have a spot anywhere else before the fall, and then that puts us right back in the situation where everything may shut down again. Please tell me she’s not going to be a loner for life because of this extended isolation? At the beginning of the pandemic I could reassure myself that a lot of kids were in the same boat, but with more and more daycares and camps reopening that’s not really the case anymore :/
PSA – Target has a basic athletic skort that seems pretty good for weekends and days at home. I just got 2 and am debating if I get one more color as I think I will use them a lot this summer. The material is like the stuff used for many running shorts. Brand is All in Motion. Link to follow.
Can anyone recommend a maternity/newborn photographer in NoVA? Thanks!
I know this is discussed often, but I’m trying to think of preschool snacks that *I* won’t end up eating the entire carton of (looking at you, Goldfish). My kid is a little strange…here’s stuff he’s meh toward: bananas, Goldfish, string cheese, raw carrots, raw celery, including ants on a log. He’s obsessed with fruit: can’t get enough berries (fresh or frozen), cuties, apples, plums, grapes, and raisins. I suppose I could add in PB crackers? He’s not big on crackers, but probably because we don’t buy them often and don’t get the good stuff like Cheezits. I’m sure this is super obvious but what are some big winners at your house that I’m missing? Applesauce? Fruit cups? Is there shelf-stable yogurt? Send him with pouches? I’m not above that…
