The scene: The city’s most stylish and influential women led a panel discussion — moderated by Monica Royer, founder of Monica + Andy, and Corri McFadden, founder of Glitter & Bubbles — about the day-to-day life of a modern mom, at the prestigious private school (350 E. South Water) August 26.

The invite list: The Splash-hosted event featured tea by Argo, and K. Grace babysitters were on hand during the panel discussion, which also included Marie Whitney of Two Penny Blue, Nikia Jefferson of ChiTown Fashionista, writer Amalie Drury, Rachel Rischall of Brendan Sodikoff’s Hogsalt Hospitality and Emma Arnold of Très Awesome.

The great thing about your child, regardless of their age, is they start fresh every day. … So just trying to be in the moment and enjoy that is kind of what I live by — and it’s very imperfect.

— Monica Royer
