I’ve always found slides more comfortable than flip-flops. Here’s a fun pair for summer that allows you to dip your toe into the logo trend.
These lightweight slides are ready for the boardwalk. Like any slide, they have an open rounded toe and open back for slipping on and off. The textured leather upper features Coach’s signature “C” logo. The neutral colors — charcoal/black, multi (which has a white upper), and tan — will go from beach to urban errands.
These slides are $95 at Zappos. They come in whole sizes 5–11.

I just had our top candidate (truly a standout) accept an offer for a position that has been shockingly hard to fill. It’s an admin type job and also something that I think will fill in so many gaps in our department. I am so glad with how it worked out.
I am also so psyched that my little one can get vaccinated before we go to Disney this year!
Yay Friday!
For the mom who was asking about Moderna side effects in trial kids, we just got the unblinding call and MY KID GOT THE VACCINE!!! Happy tears over here. 4 years old, no side effects at all. She did have significant side effects (fever, fatigue, irritability) to her first MMR as a baby, for whatever that’s worth.
Checking in from first morning of potty training. My kid cried all morning and begged us to put his diaper back on. He peed in the corner one time but otherwise held it. He was so relieved when we put a pull up on him for nap time and immediately used it. Any tips for this afternoon??
Anyone around today?
Is anyone having luck getting under 5 vaccine appointments? My state DOH told me they expect to authorize vaccination to begin “at the end of this week or early next week” which is so frustrating — why do they need more than a week after the CDC ruling to make their own decision!? It’s not like they didn’t have time to prepare for this. I’m hearing the same thing from friends in other states, that the local vaccine infrastructure has basically been so dismantled at this point that there’s no one left to vaccinate the little kids. I can get an appointment tomorrow at a children’s hospital 4 hours away and am debating going, but this is bananas.
I’m taking my four-year old on a flight for the first time ever next month. I’m really excited! But I also have no idea what to bring. The flight will be in the middle of the day and about 3 hours long. Any suggestions on airport security, IDs, whether I need some kind of special seat, and just things to general have / expect with a little kid?
