We’ve featured The Fold’s gorgeous origami-like jacket/top before on Corporette — but I had NOT noticed that it’s part of their “easy care” line. What now? They have a ton of beautiful, interesting clothes that are all hand washable (which, to my mind, means “machine wash on delicate cycle,” but that’s me.) Lots of great possibilities here if you’re looking to splurge on something special for your work wardrobe, but don’t want to negotiate on washability. The top is $255, at The Fold. Belleville Top

Hi – Any helpful books or videos (amazon prime, netflix etc.) to prepare a 19 month old to move cities? We’re moving in May and it feels like it might be helpful to get her used to the idea. I was hoping there was a Daniel Tiger episode for this, but it looks like the population of his neighborhood stays the same.
Our trip–definitely not a vacation–to visit my father in law is off to a rousing start. 5 year old managed to step in massive pile of dog poop walking from our apartment building to the cab, which got all over the car. Then he got carsick and puked all over himself and the seat. I gave the driver an extra $20 on top of the tip but I still feel bad.
Paging Tummies:
Thank you for starting a great discussion yesterday. I happened upon a really helpful post from a blog I follow called “A Mighty Girl” (which I recommend!) on positive body messaging. You can find it on FB too. Link to follow.
reposting from main s*te –
Does anyone have recommendations for a doula in Philly? I’m not sure I even need/want one (can you have a doula if you’re planning for allllll the meds?) but don’t want to rule out any options yet.
I would just like to say a big thank you to this s1te for telling me to keep extra bottles at my office. In my eagerness to pack last night, I put my pump parts in my cooler bag but not my bottles (wtf, past me?!).
Luckily I had stashed two bottles here just in case. I might have to dump some to be able to pump a second time with only two bottles or cut the second session short but better than the alternative (pumping into water bottles I guess?).
And I was feeling so bad@$$ because yesterday I presented on a call to 140 people while pumping!
Hello nice women of the internet. Last night I found out via social media that I was not invited to a gathering in which several other of my family members attended. Admittedly, one of the family members and I had a falling out several years ago, but I thought I was friendly with everyone else. This feels like a punch in the gut. I’m trying really hard to accept that I’m just not close with these people anymore (we were once very close, at least I thought), but how can I move on from this? What can I do in the short term to make myself feel better?
I’m looking for some bedtime advice. I have four year old twins. In the last couple of weeks, Twin A has started to get wild at bedtime. Won’t go to bed, won’t stay in bed. The conventional wisdom that I read is to at least keep her in the room by closing the door, which I am fine with. However, she shares a room with her twin and Twin B is scared to have the door closed. Twin A has also taken to harassing her sister in order to get our attention at bedtime (taking blankets/pillows/etc.) – which is another problem with having them both in there. They are in the process of transitioning from one nap to quiet time and this is probably part of the problem. This transition has been really hard and has lasted a couple of months already. Bedtime has become awful and I am losing my mind. I just want quiet time at the end of the day to sit on the couch and drool on myself while I gear up for the next long day.
I don’t have the space to put them in separate bedrooms. I could put Twin B (who generally needs less sleep) in our room until Twin A goes to sleep (ranges from 10 minutes to 2 hours) . I’m just a little concerned that once Twin B goes back to the bedroom, I will have to change the conditions by leaving the door open and Twin A will revert.
I’ve tried various methods of rewards and punishments. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.
I love this top and swoon over The Fold in general. I have yet to purchase anything because of the pricey shipping/returns, but for anyone who lives in NYC — they just opened a store in Chelsea!
We are newly TTC and I think I’m getting overly anxious about timing and travel. I travel about twice a month for work, 2-3 days at a time. My husband rarely travels for work. When he has a trip during go-time, i flew out to meet him for 2 days – unfortunately, he can’t reciprocate due to flying anxiety (his), which i’m not inclined to push.
I do have some flexibility over when i schedule trips, but part of me hates the notion of planning to still be trying X number of months down the road in order to schedule accordingly.
Essentially – have you been there and please help me be more rational!
What is your favorite chocolate and/or baked goods shipping company? I would like to send some fun edible indulgences to a friend in northern California.
This is a shot in the dark, but here goes.
My kiddo was ten days past her due date. Someone sent me an amazing blog post about handling the in-between time after your due date and before you deliver. I now have a friend in this position and I’ve been searching everywhere to find it again and coming up short! Can anyone help me find this again?
Hello all! I’m beginning a nanny search in NYC (LO was born in Feb) and wondering if anyone has tips/advice they can pass on. I’m reaching out through various channels, including a posting on Care.com. I’m talking to candidates by phone to get a sense of their vibe and the basics and then will follow up with an in person meeting. I’m still not loving the idea of someone else being with my baby, but I have to start the search sometime and maybe if I find someone amazing I’ll be able to relax for the rest of my leave (I don’t go back until July). Thanks in advance for any advice!!
For the person dealing with night terrors – I posted very late yesterday, so re-posting today. My son had night terrors from about 8months – 2.5 or 3 years. What really helped was the Lully, available on amaz0n. The idea is that the terror is caused by the brain gettin stuck in a deep-sleep “rut,” so the Lully helps jolt them out of that rut and back into a normal sleep cycle. You can achieve the same thing by partially waking the child shortly before their terror usually happens – my sons were consistently 90-110 minutes after falling asleep, so around the 75-minute mark we would use the Lully or just go in and roll him over. Didn’t (usually) wake him completely, but nearly eliminated the terrors (probably a 90 percent reduction on days we used it, occasionally we forgot). He since outgrew them and we don’t have to do it any more. I’ve become a Lully evangelist because our pediatrician was no help and it pretty much solved the problem for us.
Looking for potty training advice. We did the 3 day potty training method with my daughter about three weeks ago. It went okay. She went back to daycare and had no accidents all morning the first day, then had one or two in the afternoon. Since then she has had 4-5 accidents a day and has not been going #2 on potty. She wears a pull up for night time and nap and she usually just doesn’t go at all on the weekend or goes in her pull up. At daycare she usually has 1 or 2 poop accidents a day. Lately she has not been wanting to go on the potty for me. She cries and screams no. I’m considering throwing in the towel and going back to pull ups or diapers for a few months but part of me feels like we should keep going. I’m discouraged by the lack of progress and I don’t want her to be traumatized or think its normal to just go in her underwear. She just turned 2 on Sunday so she’s a bit young but she was showing all signs of readiness. Now I wish we would have waited a bit but I’m feeling kind of stuck now.
I bought the Ava bracelet for tracking and TTC. Temping was too stressful for me without the bracelet. It helped me to really understand when I ovulate because it wasn’t near day 14. I highly recommend it. I’m now 30 weeks. doesnt help with the travel but can help with your timing.
