Washable Workwear Wednesday: The Wren Top

Bright summer days put me in the mood to inject some color into my otherwise neutral work wardrobe.
This pretty floral blouse from officewear expert M.M.LaFleur is exactly what I’m looking for. Made from machine washable silk, this flowy long-sleeved blouse will keep you comfortable both indoors and out. The flattering boatneck and dolman sleeves set it apart from your usual top.
Add a pair of tailored trousers and ballet flats and you’re ready to roll.
The Wren Top is $265 (but some colors in lucky sizes only are on sale). It’s available in XS–XXL.

I have access to a pelvic floor therapy benefit free of charge through my insurance. I’d jump at it, but it uses an intrav@ginal biofeedback pod connected to an app, and that gives me pause – that’s personal data I *really* wouldn’t want hacked! What would your comfort level be with this? Would the PF therapy benefits outweigh the privacy concerns?
Just found out I’m pregnant. Obviously it’s super early, but if this sticks my kids would be 18 months apart. I’m a little in shock because it took a year of intense trying to conceive number one, so I honestly wasn’t expecting this, although we also weren’t doing anything to prevent it either. Parents of two under two, please share your wisdom? Or horror stories? IDK. We want at least two and I have fertility issues so this is obviously great, but also we have some major life changes coming up and I’m freaking out a little .
I have two awesome tween stepkids and my husband and I have a 3 year old together. We are (after a lot of losses) more expecting a boy in January. I’m excited but it’s also just settling in that we’re going to be a family of.. SIX. Three kids hasn’t seemed like a “big family” (and is pretty common here) but four really does. Any tips from moms of larger families? I know we’ll need a bigger car (we literally can’t seat six people in either of our current cars) but it’s like my mind is a blank beyond that in terms of practicalities. We both work full time (he’s big law; I’m in-house) and have a full time nanny for the little guy who also keeps with laundry, shopping, etc.
This weekend was the absolute pits. We were trying the Oh Cr*p potty training method and the first few days went okay, but by day 4, our kid was crying anytime we went near the potty, even if we weren’t asking them to go themselves. Got minimal sleep because of the fireworks going off every night, and this morning got four tantrums before we even made it to kitchen for a cup of juice. Earwigs have infested our trash cans (just outside, but still so so gross). I am so freaking exhausted and feel like we wasted a whole holiday weekend for nothing.
PSA- my kid finally has a face big enough for Costco kid glasses (age 6) and the savings is INSANE. I’m going from paying about $400 a pair to $90 (most of this was/is covered by vision insurance, but the many times the frames broke was not). Lens are only $50!
How do you fit exercise into your schedule? I have an almost 4-year-old and a one-month old and would like to incorporate some exercise in the next couple of months. I will be working full time starting in the fall. Both kids are in a school-schedule-based care program M-F, and we are in the process or hiring a “flexible nanny” for schedule non-holidays off of school, some evenings and to help with housework. I live close to a few gyms/the local YMCA and am open to getting a membership at one of these and/or incorporating home workouts. Currently while on leave, I try to walk with the stroller several days a week either outside, weather permitting, or at the local mall, and I really enjoy this.
