Washable Workwear Wednesday: Jasmine Top

My sudden onset of seasonal allergies is telling me spring is in the air. To distract myself from my itchy eyes and runny nose, perhaps I need a new blouse that reminds me of the more pleasant side of spring.
This floral chiffon blouse just shouts “Spring!” This light, airy blouse features a split collar, long sleeves with button cuffs and roll tabs (why don’t more shirts have these?), and a chest button pocket. It’s long enough to wear untucked, but thin enough to tuck without bunching. It’s on the sheer side, so make sure to wear a cami underneath.
Kut from the Kloth’s Jasmine Top is $69 at Nordstrom. It’s available in XS–XL. If this pink floral print isn’t for you, there are 10 other floral and non-floral prints to choose from.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my question yesterday about propping up a twin with reflux; I’m grateful for the words of wisdom and reassurance. Major thanks especially to the Anon who offered to send her Twin-Z pillow — such a generous offer. I’ve pulled ours back out after having switched to the My Brest Friend for nursing, so we’ll give it a shot today.
I really appreciate this community’s generosity and, well, sanity. Many thanks to the moms hive.
thanks to all who chimed in on the ballet recital dilemma. i emailed the teacher and she said they dont try the costumes on in class and while they talk about the recital, but the whole class isn’t centered around it. they even offered to take some videos of my kids dancing at the class so we can see what they’ve been doing. (this class is offered at their school and parents are unable to watch). they told me they’ve had kids opt out in the past and its not usually a big deal. if the teacher had said they spend half a class trying on the costumes, i would’ve ponied up the $80 per kid, but now maybe we won’t.
Do kids play with Shopkins any more or is that very 5-7 years ago? Or is it trash bin vs post on neighborhood list vs goodwill?
Do kids play with Shopkins any more? Or is that too 5-7 years ago? I need to purge some things and don’t know that these will find another home. Goodwill? Or just trash can once the kids are at school? Can’t leave on the porch or the kids will demand to keep even though they have gone untouched for years.
This top is really pretty.
Leaving on our first real vacation (not counting visiting grandparents) in 2 years. So excited. We’ve had a couple planned that unfortunately got canceled because of conflicts with husbands job. Looks like this one is actually going to happen.
I shall be zen on the beach catching up on my reading and keeping the toddler out of trouble.
Help me out with a cool gift for a turning 8 year old who is the youngest of 3 girls. I have an 8 year old myself, and I know this girl pretty well, but for some reason i’m just…stuck. She’s a super high energy sporty kid who has two fashionista older sisters. I feel like a really fun, loud accessory would work- sunglasses, socks, something like that. If it isn’t a $$ item, that’s okay, because she’s also obsessed with starbucks [mochas and frappes] and ice cream so we can get her a gift card to one of those places, too. She does cheer, plays lacrosse, soccer, and softball, is a ski racer and I think might still take hip-hop. Some cute accessories or stickers for her water bottle could work, too.
She already has a skateboard or I’d get her one :).
Cute top! I like some of the pretty blues available. It does sound like a cami is required, though.
bday party Q: My middle kid is invited to a bday party at a roller rink. I’ve been to parties here before and know the drill- they happen during open skate and there are often many parties going on at once, in addition to open skate. I’m going to bring my other two kids to roller skate and let them skate/ buy them lunch at the rink while my middle does the b’day party.
Is there any reason to tell the b’day party hosts in advance? I do not want in any way to imply that my other two kids need to be included in any part of the b’day activities (eg. cake, game tokens, goody bags, etc) and I feel like if I mention my other kids will be there the hosts will offer that. It’s a huge place, there are like 200 people and multiple b’day parties happening at once. If it’s at all relevant, my older daughter knows the older brother of the b’day girl as they have been in class together before , but they are not good buddies or anything.
Thoughts?
Am I a horrible parent if my kid misses 2 soccer games in a 7-game season? We knew we’d miss one because of a family vacation that was planned several months ago. But now, for Reasons, my mom wants to celebrate Easter the weekend after the holiday. I’m not crazy for thinking family/cousin time is more important than a first-grade soccer game, right? I don’t think it will be possible to do both, as the game is smack-dab in the middle of the afternoon.
14 month has become terrified of the bath. Cries through it most of the time, one week and counting. And like, real sincere crying. Toys distract for a few minutes, and then back to crying. Any tips? Anyone have anything similar with kids?
Appreciate the group’s thoughts. My four-year old daughter has been totally potty trained for a long time. But she has been having accidents at night for the last few months and increasingly recently. They feel purposeful; they always happen like 15 minutes after bedtime ends and on nights when bedtime does not go smoothly or feels like she is wanting more time with me or my husband. She pushes away her beloved blanket and has the accident in the middle of the bed; it never happens in the middle of the night. So I don’t think it’s just a physical lack of control or something like that. We just quietly change the sheets and PJs and don’t make a big thing of it but I’m not sure what else to do. If we ask her why she didn’t go to the bathroom or call for us, she’ll say she was really focused on thinking about something and didn’t realize.
Possibly relevant context – I am pregnant and having a baby next month. She is generally excited but especially in last few weeks has been acting out and trying to get attention.
Any ideas?
Just expressing continued general frustration for the comment situation. My username doesn’t stick if I close the tab or refresh the page, so comments disappear, or I can’t see them to begin with. I appreciate that moderation is necessary to foster a civil environment, but I hope this mod queue is still considered an “issue” rather than the new state of things?
My husband lost his wedding ring in an airport bathroom last week. I have the appraisal for it from 2013 that says it was worth $750. Do I call our home insurance and see if it’s covered, or just eat it and buy a new one? We filed reports with the airport and airline, but I think it’s either down a drain or in the trash can. He’s lost a lot of weight recently. I think the answer is just to buy a new one.
