Now that commuting is becoming a regular or semi-regular reality, I need a new laptop case to go with my current less-is-more aesthetic.
This slender one from Tumi is exactly what I’m looking for — this slim, lightweight nylon bag features multiple carrying options (top handle, crossbody strap, and luggage sleeve), a zip-top closure, and some discreet magnetic snap pockets for essentials like your phone and a notepad.
It’s a subdued and classic bag that is perfect for heading back to the office.
The Joanne Nylon Laptop Carrier is $245 at Nordstrom.

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?
Thoughts and tips on working an early full time schedule (like 7-3 or 7:30-3:30)? Fueled mainly by the desire for a bigger chunk of time with my kid each day, I’m thinking of asking work if I can shift. Most of my meetings are in the morning. The major potential complication would be filings – I’m a litigator – but I could probably plan ahead for those days.
This looks like a laptop sleeve with handles. Where do the charger, headphones, etc. go? And I’d have to carry a separate purse for my wallet, phone, keys, hand sanitizer, sunglasses, etc. To me, minimalism is a single bag that holds all the essentials without crowding.
More disappearing comments! There were two and now there are none.
When we’ve talked about nursing clothes on here, some people have recommended getting “shirts that can pull down to nurse.” Does anyone have specific shirts that work for this? It’s hard to tell online which ones are stretchy and/or low-cut enough to work. I’m picturing maybe a deep V-neck? Thanks!
Anyone been to Disney recently? We are going in a month and I fully expect it to be a total zoo. Looking for any tips or tricks or “must do so much it’s worth the 60 minute wait”s.
We are going to be in Orlando for a week, staying off site. We are thinking 2 days at Disney and a day at universal (two park ticket). Kids are 4,6,9. Nobody cares about Star Wars, I’m not sure they like Frozen enough to do a day at Epcot. The older two like Harry Potter, but only my 9 year old is big enough to ride all the HP rides. My 6 y.o is just shy of 48” and probably wouldn’t like anything that required her to be 48” anyway.
at what age did your kids start watching Disney movies and does anyone have a recommendation for one to start with? my soon to be 4 year old twins have been coming home from school talking a lot about various characters and I would like one day to take them to Disney World, but I don’t know if they are ready for a full length movie. i’ve never seen Frozen and I read the plot – why are all Disney movies so sad?
Comments are still messed up.
Does anyone here actually enjoy the evening routine with little kids? I.e., dinner, bedtime. I want to find a way to enjoy it more, and nothing is wrong per se (kids behave OK most of the time) but it feels like a lot at the end of the day a lot of times
I’m considering a trip to Chicago and wondering if anyone has ever stayed in the kid’s suite or done the kid’s room package at the Swissotel? Daughter is 9 years old. Just looking for feedback (and I welcome any ideas for kid-friendly activities in Chicago!).
Just a vent. Yesterday my 14-month-old cried/screamed through bathtime, and didn’t stop until we were snuggled up to read. I had to take him out of the bath first which made 4-year-old cry. DH then comes upstairs to “help”/see what’s going on but is really like, unable to handle the situation and just is an extra body in my way. Ultimately, both kids were fine, and DH tidied up the bathroom as I got them clothed/put them down, but I dislike the addition of having to deal with DH’s reaction to kids just being kids sometimes. I did tell him, next time, just stay away if you can’t handle it, it just adds to the swirl and if I really need you I’ll give you a shout.
Rant ahead but advice appreciated. Oldest currently attend preschool 8:30-4:30. DH is responsible for drop off most days. He struggles to get kiddo there before 9AM. DH wants kiddo to attend public kindergarten, which starts at 8AM. When I bring up the logistical challenge of that, DH brushes me off with a “it’ll work out.” To me, it’ll work out is code for “this is gonna be your problem” which makes me livid. I’m happy do be responsible for drop off, but I’m not going to be babying both of them every morning getting them out the door on time. We also have one year old twins. How do I talk to DH about school drop off without getting brushed off?
I’m sure this has been discussed, but how does everyone handle kids coats + car seats? I have a toddler and a preschooler and we’ve just been taking coats on and off when we load them up and get them out. Is there a better way? Has anyone tried those “car seat safe coats”? Are they actually safe? Are they warm enough for frigid climates?
is covid over? i’m so confused and don’t know how to step back into the world. our scouts are doing sleepovers in museums when we haven’t stepped foot inside a museum in years. I want my kids to be able to participate in activities with their friends and make memories, but I havent figured out what we’re comfortable with yet. It feels so abrupt. How are you all handling going back to “normal”?
My parents really want to take my kids (two boys 3 and 7) on a Disney cruise in mid-April, leaving from Miami, 5 days. I agreed and I’m going to go too. I think someone mentioned on the recent family vacation post that this was a GOOD idea? I haven’t been on a cruise in a long time. Any tips? How did you organize your day? Please share good and bad experiences!
I realize it’s late and I might ask again tomorrow but when you travel (esp. internationally) do you do any activities with your preschool or younger elementary age kids to teach them about the place you’re going?
