I usually think animal prints = fall, but this shell from Ann Taylor is perfect for midsummer.
This summery take on a zebra print works as both a layering piece or alone. This sleeveless knit top has a halter neck and is made from an easy care, machine washable blend. Pair it with a light tan or cream suit or just wide-leg slacks depending on your A/C situation. Take it into the fall by switching your suit or pants to black.
This Zebra Jacquard Sweater Shell is $69.50 and available in sizes XXS–XXL as well as petite sizes.

Backpack Rex’s again- I asked earlier this week and got a suggestion for state bags. I LOVE them but my kiddo didn’t like any of the colors except the one color I thought would get dirty super fast.
Any other suggestions that are similar in trendiness? She is 9 going in 13 ;).
Hive, just polling: what was your first pregnancy symptom and how far along were you?
Reposting from the morning thread because I posted too late: My husband and I are expecting our first baby. He really wants to find out the gender, but I would rather keep it a surprise. Have any of you had one parent know the gender and the other not? Did the parent in the know actually keep it a secret? I am concerned my husband will accidentally let it slip out. Are there practical reasons to find out the gender? (We are not planning a gender-themed nursery) It seems to me that the baby’s needs will be the same regardless of gender for some time.
I just cannot deal with presenteeism any longer. Remote work has made it even worse. Our VP led a meeting from a hospital room, and now she is trying to lead one while sick with COVID. The clear message is that we should all be working all the time no matter what. It’s so toxic.
Any moms of 4 on here? I currently have a 5 yo, 3 yo, and an 8 mo and I’m somehow experiencing baby fever? I feel like I might want a 4th even though I had totally thought #3 would be my last. Just wondering if anyone has been there or could offer any insight. My husband and I both work full time and are spread pretty thin as it is, but I am really feeling this pull…
Just a vent.
I’ve had varicose veins my whole life (genetic, both sides). Annoying but whatever – I’m not a bikini model and my husband thinks i’m beautiful. They got slightly worse during my first pregnancy but then back to my normal afterwards.
I’m now pregnant for the second time and have developed them in my hoo-ha (ridiculous term but avoiding mod) and good grief. It’s going to be an interesting 5 more months, that’s for sure!
Does anyone have experience with speech and feeding therapy for a 23ish month old? Our LO had a speech explosion in the past month, meaning he babbles nonstop and tries to converse and points things out. He has only about 10 decipherable words though; everything else is the same combination of di, da, ba syllables. We started speech therapy, but I find it obnoxious. The therapist talks and makes sounds relentlessly. I am exhausted listening to it and trying to mimic and engage with my son. I can only imagine that he, as a pandemic baby and shy kid, is overwhelmed. He burst into tears while eating his favorite food because the therapist was so intense in watching him and coaching him. He hardly interacts at therapy but begins chattering away with me as soon as therapy is over. Is this normal? Does it take some time to get used to the therapist?
Does anyone have a good list of amounts of clothes to aim for for kiddos (first grade girl for reference). I suppose it wouldn’t be hard to come up with it myself, but I’ve decided to spend more time searching on Google/Pinterest/here instead of just sitting down and doing it, lol. The lists I find on Pinterest seem really off the mark (3 pairs of jeans, 4 pairs of pants, 2 leggings, etc.). My sweet child wears leggings or shorts. Rarely anything else. I just never end up with the right amounts/styles of cold weather clothes. Summer is way easier for me.
This top is pretty!
We are in Covid land over here. Only 1 of 4 of us have tested positive .I am assuming we will have the most inconveniently cascading cases – like we all test positive on day 10 of someone else’s. Our partially vaxxed 3yo is our for 8 days after the last person’s 10 days. Right now, that’s mid August. But it could easily stretch to almost September…
You know, my kids are really fun right now. We’re having a really great summer.
I feel like I come on here when I’m struggling a lot, but man… really enjoying it. (Also – realizing how much vacation time and hiring good staff has helped alleviate my burnout.)
What are everyone’s favorite nursing and pumping bras? Thanks!
