You’ll wear this flattering satin slip skirt from now into the fall.
Skirts are one of my favorite things to wear in the summer: They’re like shorts, but office-friendly. This long skirt is cut on the bias for a flattering fit. Wear now with open-toed pumps and later with booties.
Favorite Daughter’s The Favorite Satin Slip Skirt is $218 at Nordstrom and comes in sizes XS-XL. It’s also available in a yellow-and-black floral.
Here are a few more affordable options (sharing three because two are lucky sizes only): Old Navy (on sale for $17.49, three size ranges up to 4X), Loveappella ($49 at Nordstrom, XS-XL), and ASTR The Label ($65, lucky sizes).

My one & only is starting Kindergarten next week. We went to a registration event (we had already registered her MONTHS ago) yesterday to see if we could find out her teacher before they started making calls. They didn’t have her assigned to a class?! Not on any lists.
They took her name down and said the teacher would call us today. I haven’t heard anything – other friends have – so I called the school (it took 5 times to get someone to answer). If we don’t get a call today, we should get one tomorrow. She’s supposed to go to Meet the Teacher on Friday. We won’t know what day she starts next week until they call.
This is stressing me out so much. She is at this school because we did a choice transfer from our zoned school. We were notified back in MARCH that she got a spot, and did her registration as soon as it opened the following week. They called me twice while I was traveling for work last week to confirm her transportation plans. Now they don’t have her assigned to a class? They even asked if we had registered her (obviously…she has a dashboard profile and you called me!).
The rational side of me knows (thanks to tons of teach family and friends) that admin errors like this probably happen a lot of the time during these prep days. But my anxiety is freaking out since we already went through the stressful transfer process and I’m worried they’ll say she doesn’t have a spot. I hope they call this afternoon; I don’t want to stress for another day.
Just a vent. This is stressful during an already emotional week!
What food do you send with your 1 year olds to daycare? My older kid was 1 during the pandemic so we didn’t encounter this then.
Does anyone have a front-mount baby bike seat they love? I would be attaching it to a mountain bike and I understand that it’s harder to find one that fits because of the stem height and shape of the frame. I’ll check all of that myself but wondering what you would recommend for the baby’s comfort and enjoyment. He’s nine months now and once we get the go-ahead from the doctor, we would try him in the seat, but I imagine it will be closer to one year.
Can we have a discussion about what lessons we are proactively teaching our tween/teen sons? My oldest just turned 10 and I’m realizing he has no sense of chivalry. Not in a damsel in distress way, but in the sense of being more considerate, and careful, and drawing boundaries among things that may be acceptable and okay with other males but not really with women. Including how he treats me vs his father (with the caveats that all people deserve respect, consent, etc).
So it’s got me thinking about the lessons I want to consciously impart in this next decade of parenting. I have three boys, so it’s a lot of testosterone, crazy-puppy energy around here, and while I don’t go in for the “boys will be boys” schtick, I do think gender impacts parenting strategy.
I’m going to punt a lot of this to my husband as the person who needs to set the example and gradually take over the “imparting life lessons” role. But obviously we will have a lot of conversations between us and I want to start the brainstorm.
Also interested in specific tactics you use to teach these things!
I’m somewhat newly back at work and just struggling to balance it all. Getting things done in that second 8pm to 11-ishpm shift is just rough stuff… Is it nuts to maybe just take one evening a week and have DH to dinner and bath with kiddo and get a chance to just work? I like the idea but am sad about missing the minimal time I get with kiddo since I’ve been back at work. It feels like I don’t want to sacrifice any of the possible time I could have with DS, but also like I am drowning at work and just need to figure out how to stay above water…
