I love a straw tote for summer, and this one from AllSaints looks like a winner!
This open, structured tote is made of woven seagrass and includes a removable zip pouch to keep small things organized. Since the tote is large yet lightweight, you can load it up with all your vacation essentials and souvenirs. The leather handles are the perfect length for slinging over your shoulder or carrying over your arm.
The Mosley Straw Tote is $159 at Nordstrom.

Does anyone have any tips for managing first trimester headaches? I’m drinking tons of water but so far the only thing that helps is a nap in a dark room.
I was googling something else kid-related and came upon this very interesting article about baby and child sleep – I found the stats about what percentage of babies are sleeping 6-8 hours consecutively at various ages *very* interesting. https://www.sleepfoundation.org/children-and-sleep/how-much-sleep-do-kids-need
My kids are all much older than that now but I always felt like I had the only 12 month old who was not sleeping though the night, when in fact over 40% of 12 month olds do not sleep through the night. I was happy with our choices not to push STTN but I wondered if I was the only one… and turns out I definitely was not. Maybe these stats will make someone else feel less alone.
