This flat by TOMS must have been around for a while now, but I don’t think I’ve ever noticed it before. It’s a bestseller at Zappos, and it has that perfect, casual, “not trying too hard but still stylish and put-together” look. I like the gently pointed toe, and the price is great as well — it’s $75–$84, depending on color. It’s also available at Amazon and Nordstrom. TOMS Jutti Flat

- 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…

- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Ugh. I think we need to use a suppository on my kid this weekend. I posted earlier this week or last week that she had started withholding. We gave her half a dose of Miralax yesterday (nothing), and will do so again today, but she hasn’t gone since Saturday. She has been saying, “don’t come out, poopy!” I feel like she’s going to be traumatized. Any advice?
