Washable Workwear Wednesday: Twist Detail Hammered Satin Blouse

I love this unique blouse from Vince Camuto. It is machine washable, but not dryer friendly. The model in the photos is wearing this top with jeans, but if you were to wear it to the office with a pencil skirt or slacks, it could definitely be appropriate for a more formal workplace. I love the V-neck and the wide sleeves with the “hammered satin” bands at the bottom. It looks like it is very flattering with the defined gathered waist detail and the interesting hemline — and I could see it work with delicate accessories. The blouse is currently on sale for $49.90 at Nordstrom. It is available in sizes XXS–XXL, but note that it runs large. Twist Detail Hammered Satin Blouse

Is anyone finding this office wear just totally odd? I mean Virginia has a shelter in place order until 6/10 and I think that’s optimistic. The end is not in sight. There is no office wear for the foreseeable future.
Co-sign. I did find the recommendation for leggings with pockets the other day useful. Now if only I could find a hoodie long enough to cover my tush when I’m wearing them…who knew the crop top trend had extended to sweatshirts?!
Best recommendations for intro to toddler discipline? I’m overwhelmed by the number of blogs, books, and strategies out there. My 2 yo (2 yrs 4 months) has reached the point where his memory is long enough that my old standby of distract and redirect isn’t working. I’m just looking for ways to start managing his (age appropriate) boundary testing—e.g., unlatching the baby gate to go upstairs without asking an adult, throwing a tantrum wanting dessert for breakfast, begging for more TV when we’ve already said no. Thanks in advance!
Anyone have resources or recommendations on phone use/regulations for teenagers right now? My SD is 14 in two weeks and has been with us full time for three weeks+ (usually she is with her mom 50% custody). We are both worried (maybe me more than my husband?) about her phone usage. We’ve added things for her to do and she has been doing them, but we are both working full time and also have a three year old so we can’t just manage her constantly. I know it’s temporary, but there could also be no more school this year. I’m worried about her brain development. It doesn’t help that apparently all of her friends are on their phones 24/7. I’m so tired of constantly fighting about the phone and fighting about food and hearing so much negativity from her. It feels so exhausting, and that’s on top of extremely stressful work and a cooped up three year old. I have no idea who to talk to or where to compare notes.
I’m trying to figure out diapers, and it’s so confusing, y’all. There are so many kinds and I honestly don’t know how to choose among them. I know we’re not going cloth (I was interested by partner is SUPER anti-cloth) so I’d like the most eco-friendly of the admittedly non-eco-friendly disposables, but I don’t really know how to choose. I’ve been reading reviews of 7th Generation and Honest Company, but would love personal recs if anyone has them.
Any recommendations of lists of when to do what to prepare for baby? I’m thinking nursery, childbirth classes, etc. Google is overwhelming and slightly hysterical, and I would appreciate some kind of outline.
We’ve been doing a lot more FaceTime lately (for obvious reasons) and I have realized that my 4yo is just TERRIBLE at FaceTime. She refuses to answer direct questions, when she does speak she reverts to baby talk, and she’s just generally super weird. Every once in awhile she’ll be ok with someone she knows really well (like her grandma), but with anyone slightly more distant (including even her daycare teacher) she is a mess. It’s frustrating because she likes FaceTiming but it’s a deeply unpleasant experience for the person on the other end. Has anyone else had something like this? Ideas for how to resolve it?
So my daughter has suddenly decided that she only wants to wear nightgowns to bed and I am having a really hard time finding cute cotton nightgowns for little girls. Ideally on the longer side and with sleeves. Everything is either super flimsy (so she’s going to get cold), polyester and tacky, or flannel (so only winter appropriate). I am kind of surprised by the lack of options! I’d love to find some version of the cute cotton floral print pajamas that are at gap, etc., now. Where do you all get this stuff?
What’s everyone cooking right now? Would love some ideas. We’ve been grilling a ton but could use some easy, one pot, maybe casserole-like things that I can serve to DH, me and 2 year old that might yield some left overs for the next day. Tired of eating chicken breasts and the like – needing some variety.
Considering actually looking at some of those Tasty videos that made the rounds a while back…. but open to suggestions! TIA.
A fun share. We were leaving for a scoot when my son’s balance bike arrived from a bike hire scheme (monthly fee and you exchange when kid outgrows it) and he’s so, so excited! He rode through our neighborhood singing ‘I’m on a bike’ to the tune of Daniel Tiger’s neighburhood. He rode to have our snack in the woods and feed birds a piece of stale bread and it was a really lovely morning.
Solidarity. We’re experiencing this, too, with our 23 month old. She is usually in FT daycare so we honestly don’t know if this is standard or new for her. We have seen tiny bits of it on weekends but nothing to this extreme.
In our case she belly laughs in the face of discipline/stern talking/looking disappointed/soft but firm talking/redirection… ANYTHING. We’re losing our minds. The vast majority of the behavior we’re correcting is truly dangerous. Her new favorite thing is to flop off of the couch in all directions, regardless of what’s there to catch her (sometimes nothing but the floor). She was jumping off her stool and trying to catch herself with hands on the edge of the porcelain pedestal sink yesterday. The girl is destined for America Ninja Warrior but in the meantime I’d really love to avoid the ER. Sigh.
Guys, motivate me. We have about 2 weeks left of diapers before I have to buy more. Maybe 3 weeks. I can buy them, but it will be a low-medium level hassle (driving around to find a store that has the size and/or paying for the expensive ones left on amazon). My youngest turns 2 in June. My first was daytime trained by 23 months and my second was daytime trained by 26 months (could have been earlier but we had a new baby). Youngest has shown interest and will tell me when she’s got a dirty diaper and sometimes even tell me “potty now!” and we run her to the potty and she makes it. But it’s all been 100% her lead until now.
I know the right answer is to just potty train her now. But she’s my third and I’m lazy and adding potty training to 3 kids at home 24×7 seems like another thing. But….she could be potty trained by summer and I won’t have to change diapers all summer long.
People on here always recommend these connector straw toys for kids that they love. Is that the ZozoPlay ones? Could someone help? I need to get them for my kid – think he’s old enough and needs a new distraction right now. Thanks.
Does anyone have ideas for Easter Basket gifts? I’m looking for ideas for my 7 year old son that will help keep him occupied, e.g. craft or activity kits. We are in an NYC apartment so outside toys are of limited use right now. (And we have a lifetime supply of sidewalk chalk).
Also, is anyone doing anything fun for April Fool’s day?
Curious: is anyone still pumping while working from home? My 6 month old is such an inefficient nurser, and then she falls asleep on me- basically I have a baby almost constantly attached me me, and I’m wondering if I should jut pump and have husband or mom give a bottle. I don’t love pumping, but at least it is faster and I can work while doing it. Though nursing is easier, I just don’t get a lot of work done. What are your work from home/ nursing routines or strategies?
