Finally Friday: ‘Carryall’ Diaper Bag Satchel

I was intrigued to see this bag from The Honest Company — not only is it a vegan “leather” bag that looks nice, but it also has stroller straps, which I’ve only seen with nylon bags before. I like that it comes in black as well as a laid-back brown color, and I like the 12-25″ strap it comes with. It’s $179 at Nordstrom. The Honest Company ‘Carryall’ Diaper Bag Satchel
Update: The black is now sold out at Nordstrom but still in stock at The Honest Company’s own site.

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?
I have a horrid case of Friday-itis! It rained quite a bit last night, and now it is cool and a little bit cloudy. PERFECT weather for opening my windows, curling up under my big fluffy comforter, and disappearing into a book. Or into my bathtub right under the window. MIL is coming tonight, so the house is finally 95% clean and organized (we moved in the fall, but then I got pregnant and unpacking / organizing became impossible, so with a lot of help from DH and one of his employees that wanted some extra hours, we got everything moved around and it looks pretty good!).
Unfortunately it isn’t really a day I can knock off early (darn you Rotary, being a Friday at Noon club really sometimes messes up Fridays!). I don’t have a TON of things to do today…review a couple of contracts for new projects, organize my electronic files, maybe clean up my office. Maybe I’ll try to get out of here right at 5 or a little before, depending on how things go.
Anyone else have Friday-itis?
I’m newly pregnant and have heard good things about the book…two questions:
1. Is it mostly helpful for product reviews or also how to find bargains/save $$? I’m much more interested in the latter (have already perused Lucie’s List extensively and found it helpful…)
2. If this book is worth it, I’m debating whether to buy the book and/or book + website subscription. Thoughts? We live in a tiny city apartment and want to minimize what we buy anyway, but are on a tight budget and thought this may be helpful.
Thank you!
For the thread yesterday about Mother’s Day while pregnant, there was a great article in Slate about miscarriages and Mother’s Day. I think it would also be relevant to those who’ve had a long journey to pregnancy.
Personally, since I’ve not had that particular struggle, what resonated the most for me was mention of the discomfort with Mother’s Day as a celebration of a somewhat retro ideal of motherhood. My DH is a true co-parent and often the primary caregiver. I don’t feel completely comfortable taking any spotlight away from him as a parent.

On Monday I found out that my first project I’m super-managing is coming in UNDER budget. Yay!
That night I had terrible insomnia, finally fell asleep, and I think I slept through my ~38 week ob/gyne appointment. No idea, really. The office didn’t call me.
Yesterday I found out something is NOT our fault, it was the client’s fault. But solvable, so that’s good.
Today I found out that I caught a mistake in our database (the macro in Excel).
So YAY! Good week at work for me, good week for the baby to stay inside cooking. Today they’re throwing a small shower for me at work, after I went to a Mom’s Breakfast with the kindergartner.
Go working Moms! We can do it!
I’m scared and stressed. I’m 6 weeks and have had some slight spotting- not bleeding- on and off. My doctor says it’s too early for an U/S, so they sent me to get blood work with a repeat on Monday.
I know that statistically, there’s a good chance everything will be fine, but I could just use some good vibes.
I also am trying to hide from my office because I am so far from my normal, happy, productive self.
