Accessory Tuesday: The Driver Loafer

For the past few years, Rothy’s flats have been the commuter’s shoe of choice. Now that my commute has mostly been replaced by trips around the block, I’m drawn to their driving shoe, aptly named The Driver.
This slip-on loafer (like the rest of Rothy’s lineup) is knit from thread from plastic bottles. It has a soft, flexible upper, dual density insoles for comfort, and grippy outsoles for traction. It’s also fully machine washable!
The shoe also comes in a rainbow of classic and seasonal colors so you can find your perfect pair.
This shoe is $185 and available in full and half sizes 5–13.

Suggestions on how to prop up a baby with reflux after feedings, other than just holding? Trying to hold one twin up for thirty minutes while simultaneously nursing the other twin has messed up my back. I know car seats aren’t recommended because of pressure on the abdomen — does a little bouncer chair do it? Should I upgrade to the Baby Bjorn, which seems to be more upright? Any thoughts are much appreciated!
comments are disappearing again. anyway, as a sort of follow up to yesterday’s mask discussion, if you received an email from your kid’s school or from a parent asking that the kids in the class keep wearing masks until the end of the school year would you consider it. I’m asking on behalf of a friend who has a 5 year old who is healthy, but a severely immunocompromised 2 year old. they kept the older one out of school during the 2020-2021 school year. they were all ready to send her back this past fall when Delta hit and the younger kid’s immunologist asked the parents to keep the older one home. Older one finally went back to school. Then Omicron hit and the immunologists also suggested the parents keep the older one home. The school goes mask optional at the end of March and where we live school ends in May. The parents obviously know that they cannot ask everyone to mask forever, but are hoping for a vaccine for the younger one and are anticipating a change in her health circumstances. My friend is trying to decide whether it is worth trying to ask the other parents if they are willing to have their kids continue to mask, or if it is unfair to others to even ask.
I am four weeks postpartum and looking for a pair of forgiving jeans. I’m back to my pre-preg weight but especially flabby :) Any recs for something that would be postpartum friendly? Probably size 14. Thanks!
Does anyone know the latest on expected trial results from Moderna and Pfizer for the under 5 set? Just trying to level set my expectations, again… I am hoping these low case counts hold until then!
Talk to me about fancy private schools. We are still a few years out so this is hypothetical, but I’d like to hear opinions. If you live in a town with excellent public schools (top 20 in the state- PA in my case), would you consider a single-s€x private school? Why or why not? Would tuition assistance change your mind?
Another school questions– DH and I each went to the “best” public schools in our respective cities growing up and went to public universities as well. Our original plan had been to move to a suburban area in our city with the “best” public schools once our kids were of school age. However, due to increasing traffic and rapidly rising home prices in that area, this move is less appealing than it once was. (Home values have tripled in the past few years in this area.)
The city we live in has areas with elementary schools that are good to great (not the “best”) and a couple middle schools that are good. High schools are pretty much private or magnet. My question is– how much does the “best” school matter? Is it a big deal for the kid to switch schools for high school? DH and I grew up going to the same school all the way through… so this whole changing schools thing is just foreign to us.
We have a very large back porch (toddler-proofed, but she is never unsupervised out there), and a terribly unsafe backyard. We want to trick out the back porch so that we can spend more time out there with our currently 17-month old as the weather warms up. What are your best things? In particular – any recs for a table/chairs that would work for both toddlers AND an adult? She has a little indoor table right now (Skiphop) but I think the weight limit on the chairs is half of my weight, so that won’t work … :)
Activity tables? Water tables? What do you get the most use out of? Specific product links welcome – this is our first child.
DH and I are both down with covid. DD has it too but is fine whereas we’re both quite sick. Give me your best apps for a nearly 4 year old? We have Homer. Need something else I can put on the iPad.
I am currently wearing these in Navy and I love them. Perfect without socks and still comfortable (I lived in my Points pre-pandemic). I don’t think I’ve ever actually owned something featured here before, ha.
