    This was a good roundup. The article on the career phases had me nodding and face palming because I swore I would navigate my 30s better and yet here I am – one kid, pregnant, and totally clueless about where / what to do career-wise.

    Did the Adele link mean to say “why can’t we stop talking about it?” I thought that’s be more fitting

    I have a blazer similar to that pink blazer (a few years old so not puff sleeve) and it’s great for summer. Cute for dresses or jeans.

  3. Katy says:

    I hope the part about the 40s and career is true. I’m 37 and basically any day that I don’t kill one of my kids or someone at work, I consider a success. My 30s totally coincided with the kid having and the getting promoted so these days I feel like I don’t have any energy to do anything beyond flop in bed myself after surviving the work day and the small kids are down.

    • J says:

      Same. My coworkers with older children say it gets better, but every day with everyone in the house has been a struggle. I don’t even watch cheezy TV anymore, I’m so tired! Here’s hoping it gets better for you too!

  4. SCMD2 says:

    The article on career phases was pretty interesting – I just got promoted to project management and I’m in my early 30s. I’m single, but it’s not by choice, yet looking at the article, in some ways I guess it’s good I got promoted to this level now before I have more responsibilities like a husband and children. On the flip side, if I am lucky enough to find someone to marry and have kids with before I’m 40, the article kind of gives me hope that maybe in my late 40s & in my 50s I can rise to leadership positions and become a role model for any younger women of color in engineering/construction.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
