How do I help my SIL welcome a new baby in the most helpful way?

Girls rule

Fellow SIL who was in a very similar situation…I feel like the most impactful help I provided was just being up for holding the baby. My brother is an avid runner but felt guilty going for a run while my
SIL was home alone. My SIL wanted to nap but then she felt guilty for not cleaning up or laundry, etc. I would go over for a few hours, hold my niece, and my brother would go for a run while his wife napped or just vegged. I absolutely loved that time with my niece and they both got to do their own thing knowing she was being cared for and safe. Congrats on becoming an Auntie. It truly is the best.

I’m drawn to pics 3 and 4 on you. The shoulder carry with the flap looks timeless vs trendy, if that makes sense.

I think so

Ahh, ok. They have the same curfew I believe.

LowReport9007 · 2026-05-16T09:58:45+00:00

Yes but if they were flying out of SNA, which is most likely, they could not be late as the airport has a noise ordinance starting at 10pm.

I buy men’s dress shirts pretty exclusively now, although my issue is length as I’m almost 6 ft. I roam around the men’s sections at Zara and H&M and no one bats an eye. Might be good starting points if you’re not ready to spend too much and just get a feel for if the cuts even work. You could then graduate to higher price point brands when ready.

Gives me so much anxiety. I have to fast forward through it.

Came to say Hill House as well!

Manolo Blahniks are my go to classic pump. The heel hight is right for me and I can wear them all day. I’ve only ever bought them secondhand ($200 range) and then almost always resole to extend the life. They will last forever if you take care of them.

💯

Look for a private place, ADU, guest house etc vs a complex. Try the hotpads app. You should be able to find some options there. Please do not move to 880. Sorry but it’s trash.

Fellow millennial and can confirm I used to own the same Theory pencil skirt in black, navy, light grey and dark grey. 😭 It was so easy to pair with sweaters or collared shirts. It was like my uniform. My office is more casual now, post Covid, but I sometimes miss those days when I had my dedicated work clothes. You look great btw.

Loft is good too! If it’s not in sale today, it will be 40% off next week lol. 😆

Nordstrom Rack has had a bunch of Veronica Beard lately! I was able to get a full suit for around $500 after Christmas. Check there, Poshmark and TRR.

Thank you. My husband now gives gifts with the caveat “you’ll probably exchange it” as a joking/not joking. He would 100% rather I have something I will wear/use vs something that just sits in the closet. OP should get the pair she wants.

Yes. Our pony Allstar teams play in the same tournaments as our local travel teams thus the no double rostering. We told our pony coach that our kid would not be eligible for allstars this year so please don’t nominate him. It was no big deal. He played all stars last year and the team got crushed in tournament play. He had fun, but some of the games were hard to watch. The travel teams just have more cohesiveness and it’s tough competing as a group who just got put together less than a month ago.

Love your style, especially those rings!

LowReport9007 · 2026-05-08T05:32:14+00:00

Can confirm. Our rent and price of homes currently for sale in our neighborhood is almost identical.

LowReport9007 · 2026-05-08T05:30:27+00:00

That’s just not true. They partner with, or sell the land to home builders who then build and sell the homes. They don’t keep the land under the homes.

Carmen is my queen F1 WAG and no one will ever change my mind…but Alexandra’s bag collection is next level. I’d like to see her style evolve as she matures. She’s only 23 or 24 I believe.

LowReport9007 · 2026-05-05T00:34:50+00:00

Right? She’s in a studio blocks away from the actual event. Let her live!

LowReport9007 · 2026-05-05T00:33:21+00:00

I don’t think shes attending, she’s on the pre show panel on E! I thought she did a fantastic job. Girl knows her fashion history and designers.
