A maternity blazer that looks like one you’d happily wear pre- or post-pregnancy is a rare find. Seraphine nails it with this tailored herringbone jacket.
While this classic blazer makes allowances for your growing belly, it otherwise looks just like one you probably already own — there are flattering front and back waist darts, fitted shoulders, and sharp lapels. Wear it with dark trousers or a skirt for 9-to-5, or use it as a polished spring coat on the weekends with your favorite maternity jeans.
Seraphine’s Tailored Herringbone Maternity Blazer is $249 full price — but 20% off with code — and comes in sizes U.S. 2 to U.S. 16.

Hi – I’m wondering if anyone has any fun ideas to help my kids when my husband has to work overnight. For background my husband alternates between day and night shifts almost every other week. He has always worked this schedule but for the last three years when he only worked days. So with my oldest being 6 it’s really all they remember. He’s back on night shifts now which means he simply doesn’t see them for 3-4 days at a time because he’s asleep by the time they get up. On occasion he will wait up for them but he can only stay up 5-10 minutes because he needs to sleep while he’s still tired in the morning.
My kids are very sad when he works nights even after 2 months of this schedule.
Any ideas to make nights he works a little more fun? The added complication being I’m solo with kids 4 and 6 who need to be in bed by 8. Haha
I’m still working on scheduling summer camps for my kids and it is a full time job. That is all. Happy Monday!
I’m eight weeks pregnant and am having so much trouble with insomnia in the early morning hours. I’m tossing and turning and am lucky if I can fall back to sleep. I’m able to fall asleep quickly at bedtime and stay asleep for several hours, but then it’s hell after that. Any ideas on what might help? I’m exhausted.
How long did you have to wait to see your OB when you were pregnant? My practice insists on scheduling appointments through the patient portal, and I requested an appointment a week ago but haven’t been scheduled yet. I am probably 5-6 weeks along now. Is it just too early for them to schedule something?
Thank you to this amazing community for your support on Friday when I posted about my angst sending my daughters to the International Parade their school in shirts with an Israel flag. Fortunately, the parade was lovely. Lots of different countries represented, the school also handed out flags from many different places and the students carried signs with the school’s values (things like Kindness, Respect, Integrity, etc.) in all different languages from English to Arabic to Hebrew to Korean, etc. It was short, but sweet. On Saturday we had the International Festival, which was mostly nice. All of the tables, with the exception of one, focused on the cultural elements of each country/place – like the Korea table had someone who could teach you how to write your name in Korean, the India table had someone doing Henna, the Germany table had a wheel you could spin to answer a question related to a map of Germany, etc. with lots of yummy foods to sample and performances to watch. Except the Palestine table who thought it was appropriate to include a book titled The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine and some factoid on their poster about children dying in the 70s, alongside the pita and hummus the woman was handing out. There is a time and place for everything and this was not the time or place.
I’m 5 weeks pregnant and obviously excited but I think as I’m trying not to get my hopes up too much I’m focusing on how worried I am about telling people. I’m 38 and most friends are loudly DINK by choice, it’s always been on the cards for us but I’m quite private and have never really commented either way. I have this horrible worry that friends (and family) are going to be happy for us but ask ‘why now’. I know if they are polite they shouldn’t say that but I can’t help feel we will get a lot of it. I feel like I need a breezy answer that doesn’t invite more questions. It was really just a now or never, which might have been earlier if not for the covid years. (We are not in the US and healthcare here wasn’t great over that period).
Not near water, but my husband and I had a surprisingly wonderful time in Gettysburg for a weekend last summer. There’s a cute downtown with some good restaurants and we stayed at a really beautiful B&B about ten mins from downtown, within your budget. We didn’t hike but I think there are several options in that vicinity.
DH and I have an anniversary coming up in October and we’d love to go away for the weekend. We can’t secure childcare for longer than that, We’re in the DC suburbs and looking for something within driving distance (2-4hrs). We like hiking a lot and I like being by water if possible. We also like good food. For this trip I’d like a hotel/BNB vs Airbnb (which we do a lot!). We’ve already been to Omni Bedford Springs and Omni Homestead. We’ve also been to Deep Creek lake but I could be persuaded to go back. Also spent significant time on the Eastern shore and Annapolis (I’ve been in this area 15yrs). We are not City people so going to Philly or NYC is not our idea of fun. What ideas am I missing?? Budget for hotel is $400/night probably.
