These sleek little 2″ booties look great for whatever the season brings, whether it’s having a productive day at the office, running after your kiddos, or going out for a date night or cocktail party — I’d wear them with skirts, ankle pants, trousers, or boyfriend jeans. I like that they come in four colors, three widths, sizes 5-12, and that they’re only $130. Trotters ‘Pearl’ Bootie

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
I’d like to buy my nine-month-old a set of wooden building blocks, but I’m having trouble finding any online that are appropriate for her age (simple, unpainted, large enough not to be a choking hazard). Any recommendations?

Do you have two young kids and an awesome bedtime routine? What is it? Bonus points if it can be modified to be executed by one parent when the other is traveling, has an event, etc. (My kids are 3 and 1 and bedtime is so tough. There must be a better way.)
My 1 year old is walking! Yay! And, now we need shoes. I am not sure where to start, so I came here =)
It is getting cold here, so I know I cant get away with bare feet outside. Should I start with something light like Robeez of with more support like sneakers? I would rather not buy expensive stuff because I know they wont fit for very long. Any advice?
True confession: the word “bootie” to me means those blue shoe covers they keep at daycare at model home open houses. It evokes almost the same sensation as the word ‘moist.’ Despite the fact that this fashion trend is probably perfect for my work wardrobe and foot needs, I can’t.
I have a family event that requires 6 hours of travel each way. I’m super pregnant and was already dreading this trip a little because of that.
I found out yesterday at 6pm that I’m expected to work ‘substantial hours’ this weekend (note: work from home is not seen as truly ‘working’ by my organization). This means I have to cut my trip short and leave at the crack of dawn on Sunday to be able to put in a full workday.
I just hate that it’s acceptable to expect 24/7 control over people’s lives. Also, I’m not big law, my compensation is TOTALLY not enough to justify this kind of treatment, but this job is the path to what I want to do long term. Vent over. Thanks. Now I can go back to angrily working for the next several hours.
Belated thanks to those who responded with advice on flying with my 9 month old. You gave me some good ideas for the upcoming trip.
Meanwhile I’m taking Meg Murry’s wise advice and staying home from work to try to kick this horrendous lingering cold / bronchitis. Baby is at daycare and apart from pumping I plan to stay in bed all day.
Win! My son decided to really start walking today on a day I am at home since my nanny took the day off. Thank you working mom gods :)
