This nursing romper feels like pants but looks like a dress.
This sleeveless, one-piece outfit features side nursing/pumping access, a self-tie belt, and pockets. The roomy fit means you can wear it while you’re expecting as well. Accessorize it with a light cardigan and some bold jewelry.
Latched Mama’s Momper Nursing Romper is $70 and comes in three sizes: petite (00-6), standard (6-18), and plus (18-28).

does anyone else have a kid like this or was anyone like this as a kid who turned out ok as an adult? one of my kids has like 5 left feet, 4 hands, poor fine motor skills and zero spatial awareness. anything from fitting her lunchbox, water bottle, and folder into her backpack in a sensible way, to realizing that you cannot carry your stuffed toy, and a book while you try to put Rainbow Loom rubber bands into a bag, to braiding string or stacking papers in a pile. it’s like her brain does not intuitively see how to do these things. and even if we show her, it is like in one ear and out the other. we did OT for 2 years and then stopped and now i’m at a loss for how to help her or is this something she doesn’t need help with and she will figure out/won’t matter in the long run?
Overthinking b/c we’ve not done a venue birthday before. School finishes next Friday, goes back mid-August, 9th birthday the week before. We’ve booked a high ropes course for the weekend before school goes back – do I send a save the date now? And a reminder a few weeks out? (All invites here are done via Whatsapp group).
A small party – 6 kids, mix of old town/new city invitees, but assuming a decent decline rate as some people will go away right before school goes back.
Maybe an interesting question for today – did any of you solo travel somewhere when your kids were young because you might never get the chance again? I feel that solo travel as a mother is still fairly strongly discouraged at a societal level, especially if it’s for fun or involves any risk, but sometimes travel does have to happen sooner than later because places get destroyed or inaccessible or because you won’t have parental leave again. I’m thinking about this because a professional kayaker I loosely know (friend of a friend, met a handful of times and I follow her on socials) talked about traveling to central Africa to kayak her favorite river one last time, since it was then flooded by new dam construction (never accessible again). Her kids were like two and five and stayed home with their dad, who also did his own trips to other places. I just thought it was interesting and cool and something that not a lot of women would even talk about. I also know a woman who did a hiking trip to Italy for a week with her husband when her baby was nine months and she had leave. She did say she missed her baby the entire time but was glad she did it.
