Organizing Thursday: Grid-It! Organizer

Technology is wonderful, but keeping track of tech accessories is not. Grid-It! Organizers make this task a little easier.
If you haven’t seen a Grid-It! Organizer before, it’s made of woven, stretchy elastics that firmly hold small items in place, such as chargers, headphones, cables, etc. You could even use it to organize makeup, travel toiletries, or office supplies. Instead of digging through the black hole of your bag, everything is in one easily accessible place. This would be perfect for frequent flyers or even those who carry their tech back and forth on their commute each day.
A medium organizer is $19.99 at Walmart or on sale at Amazon for $16.90.

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?
Last night DH and I were discussing our lack of gardening. I asked him if he just didn’t want to in general or didn’t want to with me, and he essentially said he didn’t find me attractive. Of course I’m incredibly hurt by that. I slept in a different room last night and told him this morning that he needs to decide if this is a temporary thing or a dealbreaker for our relationship. We’ve never had an especially intense gardening relationship from the start, but it has become practically non-existent since the baby was born.
I’m not sure how I come back from this with my self esteem. We’ve been together 7 years and have a 12mo. I haven’t dramatically changed my hair or weight since we’ve been together. I feel like the answer is counseling, but I’m just hurt and blindsided this morning. I really don’t want to separate
We have these. I laughed when my tech-y husband bought them, chalking it up to another weird gadget he bought for fun, but they’re actually kind of awesome when traveling.
Next week, we are going on our first vacation since having our kiddo late February 2020! We are driving (approx 2 hours) to a Great Lakes town to go to the beach and generally hang around. Rented an Airbnb townhouse, my parents are coming for 2 of the days so that DH and I can get out first date nights in more than a year.
Any advice? Things we should bring? Things we should leave? For the beach we have a pop up sunshade, an inflatable pool, and a few sand toys. Planning to bring the pack and play. Will get groceries upon arrival. Anything else we should have with us so as not to turn it into a disaster? DD (15 mo) has never stayed away from home (pandemic baby, family is local). Any advice regarding activities? How to feel like we get some relaxation despite chasing a 15 month old around?
yesterday’s discussion about fertility treatments reminded me of this cool artist my friend told me about, Glitter Enthusiast, who uses ivf needles to make art.
Yesterday was hard and I just need to vent. We are STILL dealing with reduced daycare hours, they’re moving to 5pm next week at least (how generous) but that still leaves us in a major crunch. Now we’re required to get clearance from a doctor + 24h symptom free for the tiniest thing (god bless the ped for doing a 6:30pm telehealth and then fitting my oldest in with the baby’s well visit the next day). The exhaustion of this daily juggling of every minute between myself, the kids, DH, work calls, pumping… it is slowly sucking the life out of me.
I am going to taper pumping, I bought formula last night. I am going to hire a sitter to help in the evenings. I know this is the right choice for our family and my career but man, this season is TOUGH.
We haven’t booked any travel this summer, everything is expensive and mediocre but they had a cancellation at the local country park for a pre-pitched tent with air mattresses on their “campground” (a big field) and I snagged it. Kiddo has been desperate to go camping and this seems like a super easy way to do it (outdoor yoga, adventure playground, and an amazing cafe on site). Not the rustic Donner Lake camping of my youth, but I’ll take it.
It’s a few weeks after my son’s 4th birthday, I bought him a sleeping bag already (Aldi middle aisle for the win) and think maybe I’ll get him a lantern or something else to go along with it? Any suggestions?
I’ve had a professional disappointment this week (got passed over for a promotion), and am finding it much harder to get over than I would have before having kids because I feel like I sacrifice so much for this job and if it’s not even going to be rewarded what’s the point? Thinking I should just off ramp and go part time. Any advice for processing these types of decisions without making them out of spite?
My daughter just took her last on-line final of the world’s craziest school year. She is registered for in-person school in the fall, and the school claims all courses will be taught live and in person (this year they were putting kids in classrooms to do asynchronous remote classes, which mostly defeats the purpose of in-person school). She is fully vaccinated as of tomorrow. I think this means we have survived?
Hi all! Is anyone in the DC area looking for a nanny? My daughter’s former teacher (in a twos room) is looking for a nanny position. She is absolutely fantastic, and I would jump at the chance to hire her (we unfortunately relocated so not an option). I created a burner email so you can email me if you are interested ([email protected]).
I need help for Father’s Day! I need to cook a tasty, healthy Father’s Day dinner for 3 that does not involve a grill. DH is typically the cook in our family. I can cook but haven’t had to in a while, and I’m feeling a little intimidated by the kitchen. (We have a tropical depression incoming, and I’m worried that if I just plan takeout, the roads will be too flooded.)
