These shoes from Everlane have been in my cart for the last few days, and I’m about to order them. I hesitate because I have a really hard foot to fit (narrow, flat arch, narrow heels) and it’s rare that shoes I order online actually fit comfortably. What makes me optimistic about these is the elastic back, like on my favorite flats, the Sam Edelman Felicia, and they’re advertised as soft leather with no break-in period. I know that’s probably just marketing, but I’m crossing my fingers! I like these in the black, which has a brown sole, but the reddish color is also pretty tempting. If they are like the Felicias, then I anticipate having them in several colors! They are $155 and come in sizes 5–11. (Note that they run small.) The Day Loafer

Firing our nanny when I get home from work today – she’s going to be blindsided, but it’s well deserved (thank you nanny cam). Saw something yesterday that led to a tough discussion this morning and then overheard her speaking really inappropriately about it to my 3 year old. I know she’s got personal stuff going on, and we were trying to be patient, but she crossed the line. Any pro tips on letting her go? My husbands coming home and my moms going to get our son out since he’s old enough to understand. We’ll give 2 weeks severance. Need to get the key and car seats from her.I’m just hoping it stays civil… would love any advice! Not how I saw my week playing out…
Thanks!
one of my 10 month old twins suddenly hates having his diaper changed and tries to roll over on the changing table and cries as if you are inflicting torture. any tips? past strategies of giving him something to hold/play with are failing. is this just a phase?
How do you respond to your partner saying, “Why should this be my responsibility?”
I’d like to give a coworker some nice tea as a small gift while she’s going through a rough time. I know she is a tea-drinker, but I am not. Could anyone recommend a nice brand of tea to give in this situation? Bagged, not loose please.
Thanks to those who weighed in last week about going in-house. I accepted the offer today, and the relief I feel is huge. It’s definitely the right move for my family. 10 minute commute! No docketing! 4 weeks vacation I can actually take because there’s no billable target!
Piggybacking off the shoe comment above– does anyone have any recommendations for dress shoes/ brands that work well for a wide forefoot and narrow heel? For reference, Asics fit me well as running shoes. Thanks!
OK, fair warning. My feet are long and skinny and should be perfect for Everlane shoes. But I splurged on a pair last spring and it was such a regrettable purchase. They HURT! They squeeze my pinky toes and the elastic is almost too good — it really cuts into my heel, even in the next size up. Annoyingly, they seemed fine when I tried them on at home. They just didn’t cut it in my real-life activities.
A dear friend has just been put on full bedrest at 24 weeks for placenta previa. She’s a SAHM to an almost-2-year-old girl. She’s in a different city so sadly I cannot just pop in and lend a hand, though I’m contemplating taking a few days to go help out. I’d like to send her some interactive books, activities or toys for the toddler that she can do while lying on the couch. Suggestions?
What are those things called that let you wear your pants a little longer before you need maternity pants?
