I found this stylish little card case while doing our roundup of card cases for work the other day — and I still think it’s pretty, affordable, and I like that it has RFID blocking capabilities. Particularly in days where you may be switching between a diaper bag, tote bag, regular handbag, no handbag, and a clutch (for date night, right?), a super small, colorful wallet that only holds the basics may be just what the doctor ordered. It’s $15.99, and eligible for Prime. MEKU RFID Blocking Slim Leather Credit Card Holder Business Card Case Minimalist Wallet with Cash Clip

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
So, daycare just sent out a notice saying a few children in another classroom (not my son’s, but a small center) have a stomach virus. We all just had the stomach virus in November (once for me and DH, twice in one week for our poor kid). UGH.
16 weeks pregnant and worried about some test results. I’m old/advance maternal age (almost 40) and my MaterniT21 results were normal. But, when I did the NT screening and accompanying blood test, my down syndrome numbers were a little high. My doctor doesn’t seem too worried (attributes the slightly higher score to my age) and otherwise NT and MaternT21 were normal. I’m still freaking out. I don’t feel like this justifies the risk of an amnio. Anyone else experience this???
Daycare scheduling for the 6-12 month set….is there something I just don’t get? Pretty much all daycares I’ve looked at have kids nap once in the morning at around 9, and then in the afternoon from 1pm – 3pm. My 9-month old happily takes both of these naps (an hour in the AM and two in the afternoon), but is *exhausted* by 6:15pm.
But if we put her to bed at 6:15, she’s up at 5:30 (she sleeps about 11 hours at night), which is (1) annoying and (2) a really long time before her 9am daycare nap. Are other kids just able to go for longer in the evening without sleeping? In theory I guess we could give her a late afternoon nap, but she doesn’t get tired until 5pm, which seems really late for a nap.
It seems like most parents put their kids to bed around 7 or 7:30, which seems ideal, but I just don’t know how to make it work with the daycare nap schedule.
Any tips on food-throwing? My son (13 months) has started dropping food off the side of his tray, and I just don’t know the best way to respond. We’ve tried ignoring it, and we’ve tried saying “No” twice and then removing his tray all together, and we’ve tried just removing his tray and putting him down the first time he does it. None of them really seem to work. He doesn’t do it really late in his meal, so I don’t think he’s totally full, although when he’s really hungry he won’t do it. I know he’s too young to be acting out, and too young to really discipline/understand reasoning, but it’s quite frustrating! Everything I’ve read leads me to think we’ll give him some sort of eating disorder if we remove food as a punishment… Any tips?
My son is obsessed with trains! Any recommendations for a beginner’s wooden train set? My son is 2.
I spent all of yesterday wishing that my baby-to-be (I’m 7.5 months pregnant) would just.stop.moving. for a minute, because he seemed to get stronger overnight and was constantly, painfully jabbing me. Now, despite being woken up at 6 AM to some twists and turns, I’m worried because I haven’t really felt much movement the past hour. I know everything is probably fine and he’s just probably (thankfully) sleeping, but I feel like I can’t win here! Ready to get him out!
