Nursing/Postpartum Tuesday: Jae Baby Bag
This post may contain affiliate links and CorporetteMoms may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
When both of my kids were babies, I was always on the hunt for a baby bag that I could contemplate using long after my kids were diaper-free.
Kate Spade makes such whimsical, yet practical bags, and their Jae Baby Bag is no exception. The outside and inside are both made from easy-to-care-for and wipeable fabrics. It also includes loads of pockets, a changing pad, and a zipper closure so your stuff doesn’t fall out all over the floor (speaking from experience).
The bag is on sale at Kate Spade for $109. It also comes in a bright and cheery floral pattern for $114. (Note that both are final sale.)

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?
My previously very chill kid is entering an age of tantrums (2 yrs old). I’ve followed Big Little Feelings’ advice but so far the only thing that seems to work is distraction. Any advice for dealing with the meltdown two minutes before we have to pack up and go to daycare?
Frivolous question: what’s the cutest play kitchen that’s not like $600 (looking at you, Pottery Barn).
Someone on a huge like 50 person, senior level call this morning accidentally turned on video while they were clearly on their Peloton and if that is not 2021 I don’t know what is.
Talk to me about the pros and cons of having a finished basement. I’m from the south and have never had one before, but we’re looking at houses in the Silver Spring, MD area and many have a bedroom, office, gym, and/or playroom space in the basement. These seem great to me, but do people really use their basements for living space? Do they get damp, gross, or have bugs?
Did anyone else get a gestational diabetes test super early? My doctor scheduled one at 10 weeks (the 3-hour). I have no risk factors other than being 40+. Ultimately I’ll just do what she tells me but it seems weird; I thought GD didn’t even develop until later on.
What’s your best storage/organization hack? My kids are old enough (3-8) that I feel like we should be able to keep a relatively tidy house. My goal would be able to walk into a room and have the kids clean up with everything having a place to go that is not…on the floor. Ideally out of sight. Do you do one big toy chest as a catch-all? A more organized system of bookshelves and baskets?
We have a large home, but it seems like we (DH and I included) just put things down because there is space to do so, and not a dedicated home for every item.
Quick reality check – if you’re sharing a vacation house with a family that has a baby, is it reasonable to expect them to put a changing pad or blanket under the baby while they’re doing diaper changes on the carpet? My friend (the mom) got very defensive when I said we should protect the new carpet. I don’t think I was wrong re: the whole trip because there were two “accidents” related to “naked time,” but those didn’t specifically occur during changing. What’s the norm here?
I just found out that the business unit I support hired a consultant whose job description appears to basically be my job description…and she’s getting paid twice as much me. I’m so confused and annoyed. I don’t think I’m getting fired? I just had a decent evaluation. But I feel like I should not be so out of the loop about this…
I’m having a bunch of 7/8 year old girls over for a movie night soon. What movie(s) have your girls/kids of that age liked recently? We have all the streaming services and can always rent if needed.
Weird cooking question. I was making frozen chicken in the IP last night, and kept getting the burn notice (usually never happens, the IP and I are tight), so finished it on the stove. DH and I both had a taste and it was fine. Has anyone else had this happen, and was the contents of IP ok to eat?
We are gearing up for a 2-day car trip and I need fidget toys for kiddo (6). He gets carsick so reading is out. We are throwing any screen time boundaries out the window and he’ll watch the ipad mounted on the driver’s headrest, but he’ll need something to do with his hands. Last year on a similar trip we had Stretchy Jelly Strings (on ama*on) and a fidget cube, but I want a few new things for this trip. (PSA, those stretchy strings are great, I would tie them into complicated knots and it would take him 30 minutes to undo them.)
Any car toys you can recommend?
I just got an e-mail announcement that “Blippi: The Musical” is coming to town. How is this permitted to exist?
Kind of a random question, but how easy is it to tell if a toddler has chipped a tooth? Mine fell against some tile last night and I’m questioning myself whether her tooth chipped or if it’s always been that way. The top middle two teeth look longer on the sides than in the middle, if that makes sense. I’m trying to get her into the dentist but it’s booked out through October.
Fun question — good location for a short girls weekend? Two of us are in the midwest and one is in LA. Hoping for somewhere with direct flights for all of us, so we can maximize time together. Two of us are also moms, so at least for me I’m thinking somewhere with good restaurants and enough to do downtown that it feels like a trip, but still relatively easy. (AKA I want to eat good food, drink good drinks, and sleep in a nice hotel with two good friends. I’m not trying to cram a bunch into two days.)
Summer outfits for toddler girls may be found in a variety of locations online. I have a few suggestions for you. It is Baby Outlet, which has a large selection of toddler girl summer shirts. You can select from this list and hope to discover a shirt you like.
