Accessory Tuesday: Pebbled Leather Card Case

In my current role, I meet a lot of attorneys and clients every day. Unlike Patrick Bateman, for me, business cards aren’t too precious, but handed out on a daily basis. I currently keep them in the little pocket meant for a cell phone inside my bag, but I’d like to upgrade to a business card holder. I really like this one from Royce. I like how it’s basic black but with the pop of red on the inside. Of all the offerings I’ve seen, this one is real leather and reasonably priced. It is available at Bloomingdale’s for $50. Pebbled Leather Card Case
Update: Unfortunately, this case has sold out, but Bloomingdale’s has a couple of other options from the brand.

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 baby will be six months old soon. Does this mean I can start using sunscreen on him? Especially relevant as it’s getting warmer and more sunny where I am. What is the best brand? Thanks!
Is it just me, or does it seem like kids need more clothes during the spring/summer? I feel like the clothing changes are never-ending, and kiddo comes home from daycare absolutely filthy most days. (Which is good! I love that she’s getting lots of outdoor playtime!) I’m trying to figure out how much everyday clothing is enough for a preschooler. I have fallen into the trap of overbuying occasionally, but I also don’t want to be doing laundry constantly. It doesn’t help that we’re literally having 35- to 40-degree temperature swings this time of year. There is lots of layering happening, which means more laundry.
If you’re a newer mom — I would vote for quantity over quality for summer clothes, for the simple reason that they can get pretty trashed from sunscreen, popsicle stains, dirt, etc.
I think I’m addicted to my cell phone and I would like to use it less. I always like having it around to snap pictures of DD, but I’m constantly on it – checking work email, social media, looking at nothing for no reason at all. My DH is even worse and I complain to him about it but he laughs it off because I’m always on my phone too. I have an apple watch so it’s not like I even need it in front of my face in order to avoid missing something. It feels so silly, but please share your tips and tricks.
When you hire a sitter to literally sit in your hotel room once kids are asleep, how much do you pay? would you offer to pay for an uber to/from hotel? For some context, we are hopefully hiring a college student to sit in our hotel room and watch our kids sleep while attending dinners at BIL’s college graduation.
Do you have any experience with the Expeditionary Learning model? Good, bad or otherwise?
My understanding is that it is somewhat similar to Montessori. It involves looking at an issue from many different perspectives including the history, science, and impact on people. Is there a type of personality that does better in this type of learning environment? Have transitions to traditional learning environments been difficult? We are trying to decide between a charter with Expeditionary Learning and our traditional neighborhood school for kindergarten.
I have a $150 gift card to the Honest Company. My guy is almost six months (I am also the sunscreen poster above haha). I have enough hand me down clothes, I like pampers for diapers, got gifted enough baby toiletries seemingly to last two years. I know I can keep it until I need it but is there any product you love from Honest that I should keep in mind? Thanks again :)
My 25 month old is very large–98% percentile in both height and weight. He’s been in size 7 Pampers Cruisers for a few months now but even those are getting too small. These are the largest diapers I can find. We have experimented with Pull-Ups as an option but they just don’t fulfill all the needs of a diaper. In addition, we really need a night diaper but those seem to stop at Size 6. We are having a ton of leaks at night.
Any brilliant solutions I haven’t thought of?
Tax season is over!!!!! It was a sh*t show this year, but it’s over. Thank god. I’ve been missing y’all, and I’m glad to be back.
Honest and Co diapers: I understand they aren’t the best, but they are adorable. I’d love to use them for a diaper cake- if they were free would you be open to using them?
Are there any nursing-friendly wedding guest outfits? Baby is coming along to the wedding. I could just feed pumped milk from a bottle, but between the wedding and the reception, I’m not sure I can go that long without feeding/pumping.
How did you handle setting up daycare wait lists/tours/logistics while in Biglaw and wanting to preserve leave time? Every daycare seems to want us to do a tour to get on their wait lists, and of course their tours are only at 11 am or 3 pm on weekdays, and it’s getting to be a lot.
first shoes for your baby – for when they aren’t quite walking, but standing/getting close. are they supposed to be soft soled? do you put socks with the shoes? are there brands that don’t require socks? we live in a warm climate and have twins and the thought of having to put shoes and socks on both of them every time i want to leave the house sounds daunting when it already takes us forever to make it out (yes, i realize eventually they will need to wear shoes and socks)
Since someone asked a few days ago about my family’s potential international relocation, it is tentatively a go! Husband needs to read all the fine print from his company and officially accept, get a start date, and iron out all the other logistics, but it’s all moving in a positive direction. Thanks to a suggestion on here to look at ex-pat groups – the ex-pat community looks really helpful. My biggest concern was my boss agreeing to the remote work, and he was fine with it since it’s a short-term assignment, and I have business in Europe I can work on while I’m there.
I definitely don’t see this type of thing getting any easier with older kids or multiple kids, so I’m glad the opportunity came up when it did.
Thanks for the advice yesterday on my traveling and wardrobe logistics.
I’m having a day/week – maybe year: I quickly had to put wardrobe planning aside yesterday when my 8 year old came home from Farm Camp (its April break) soaking wet with a 101 degree fever. He later told me that a goat had rammed him into the goat’s water dish, and he was too embarrassed to ask to change his clothes. My daughter (5) hung out with me yesterday while I worked from home. She spent way too much time watching those surprise egg videos on youtube so that I could get work done. After bath, the 8 year old puked while the 5 year old ran around without clothes and my mom’s dog (hyper boxer) ran around after the 5 year old. To top it all off: STBX (soon-to-be-ex) was fired/non-renewed from his job last week, so he wanted to spend time looking for his job application materials that are apparently still in the house. I’m having to see him twice per day as he take the kids to and from camp this week, and I am loathing having that much interaction. Is this week over yet???
I’m hosting a family member soon who is…a lot. I care about her and know she’s very lonely, which is why I’ve agreed to host her, but my last visit with her was very unpleasant and I’m dreading this one. Our whole family is nerdy and somewhat socially awkward, but she’s more to the extreme end of this than most of us and doesn’t pick up on normal social cues or conventions. She’s an extreme extrovert and expects to be entertained 24/7. She’s also not good at self-care, and the combination can mean she’s a difficult guest who needs constant attention and doesn’t clean up after herself at all. Basically, she’s a lot like a toddler – lovable but a LOT of work. I’m keeping the visit short (3 days) but beyond that, does anyone have any advice on how to make this go smoothly? Speaking of toddlers, I have two and I would love to have her watch them (with me in the house) – it would serve the dual purposes of keeping her entertained and giving me a bit of a breather. Normally, I’d never ask a house guest to babysit, but she is family and I’m not sure normal social norms apply, given her inability to follow them. Thoughts on this?
