Ooh: I liked this blazer at $150, and I like it even better on sale for $90. It’s one of Vince Camuto’s classic styles — every season brings new colors — and this deep red looks really lovely. Wear it with light blue or neutral accents (taupe, cream, gray) for a more conservative look, or a light pink or light orange for a bit more fun. It’s available in sizes 0-14 for $90.

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?
Baby is not here yet… but trying to plan for a diaper changing set up in our tiny apt. We are not getting a changing table as we don’t have any room (and of the babies I’ve seen in my family, none really get changed on a changing table so this is admittedly a bit of a foreign concept to me). But alternatively, do you really need to get a pad with raised sides and a belt and all that? What about messes – do you have one you can wipe down? My original plan was to get a bunch of waterproof liner-type pads to change baby around the house, but am now thinking that I will basically have to wash each one every time I use it, which seems excessive. What are people using, and how do you make this efficient? On Amazon, seems like most of the products would have to be laundered frequently.. am I missing something?
Full fat Greek with pureed sweet potato or beets mixed in (now we get fancy and mix in beets + spinach)
What type of yogurt did you start with for your child? Plain Greek? Regular (full fat) plain? Did you mix anything in?
Ladies, can I get some shopping help please? I’m looking for some flowy long sleeve t shirts to wear with leggings and skinny jeans while I’m wandering around the neighborhood on maternity leave. They all look the same online… Anyone have good experiences with something?
So, I’d love to have input as to whether parents would recommend buying the Uppababy Cruz vs. the City Mini GT. I’ve read reviews on Lucie’s List and thissite’s “Best Strollers” post (and have ordered the Baby Bargains book), but I’d also love any comparisons between these two specific strollers.
FWIW, we have the Chicco KeyFit carseat and a caddy for our first baby, due in three months or so. We live in DC (a flight of stairs up to our condo) but also just bought a car, so I imagine we’ll want the stroller both for walking to restaurants/parks/the farmer’s market, and also for excursions in the car. Right now, the major “pro” of the City Mini GT for me seems to be the ease of folding, and the major “pro” of the Cruz seems to be the ability to have the baby face you, instead of just facing out.
Also, I’d like not to consider price in this equation. We originally had decided on the City Mini GT (at the top of our price range), but the in-laws want to buy the stroller for us now, and MIL for some reason is in love with Uppababy products or the BOB (which we have ruled out as too heavy).
Thoughts?
