Everyone Thursday: JimmyCASE

I got a press release about this a while ago, and thought it would be great either for Father’s Day or, hey, moms for whom a wristlet is even too much. The idea is that it’s a case for your phone that also has a stretchy elastic strap to hold up to 6 credit cards or cash. Nice! I’m eyeing one for myself — whenever I go to the gym I always lose my little membership card unless I shove it in my bra, and as attractive a look as that is, this might be better. The jimmyCASE website has a ton more options, but you can also buy a few through their Etsy shop. They’re $39.99. iPhone 6 Wallet Case Handmade In USA Rainbow Stripe

(Psst: if you’re still forming ideas about Father’s Day (June 19!), here are some of the Father’s Day gifts I’ve gotten my husband in the past.)
ALSO: I am still working on the survey for CorporetteMoms, but the reader survey for Corporette is up and running — we’d love to get your feedback if you read both sites!

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?
Since no one ever seems to comment on the featured items anymore, I thought I would :-)
We don’t have iPhones, but I have strongly considered getting a case that can store cards on/in it. However, my husband and I are both extremely hard on our phones (like drop them onto concrete or down stairs hard on phones), so our priority has always been protective cases over anything else. Although since my Otterbox fugly case is 2 pieces, I have managed to shove my ID, credit card and a couple of 20s between the 2 pieces when I didn’t want to carry my full wallet.
I hate that my case makes my phone so bulky, and they start to look crappy after a few months of heavy use, but I don’t think I could have a phone last more than 6 months at best without a super sturdy case.
Anyone have a good case that is protective without being hideous or huge for Android phones (or iPhone case that also might be available for Android)? I had a ballistics case in the past that I hated less than my current Otterbox, but they were both huge.
Hey guys.. looking for some success stories/commiseration on the infertility front.
Honestly we’re not that far into it (starting IUI next month after three months of clomid not working), and only about 2 years since we initially started trying – I know many people have much worse “infertility journeys”. Anyway, every month I just get SO down, and start this terrible mind game of “how long will this take, what if we never have kids”.
I mean, honestly, we would live our life VERY differently if kids weren’t on the map (like, we would have bought a nice condo in the city or moved to Europe for a few years, or both!), and I think about that sometimes. I almost feel like we were *too* prepared – we’ve been together 10 years, saved up lots, bought a house in the suburbs and I transitioned to a cushier job very close to home. People we know in 300 square foot rented apartments and no car in the city magically get knocked up on their first try!
I know none of these are connected and I’m a terrible person for being jealous of/feeling superior to these other couples for our over-readiness and infertility, but it’s killing me. We’re the first one of our friends to get married, and we’ll be the last to have kids if it ever works. Every party we go to it’s “oh are you guys thinking about having kids yet?”
I guess I just want to know there’s light at the end of the tunnel?
I want to start feeding my 7.5 month old chunkier solids, and would like to try the puffs. But, the packages all say that they are for crawling babies. My baby is a champ at rolling but pretty content with that for now. Does this matter?
Just wanted to check in on you and hope you’re feeling better. Internet hugs.
I am wondering if I should exchange my K’tan (not used yet) for the smaller size. I am a size 12 and had registered for the large, but now I’m reading on the box that M fits 10-12 and to order down if you are between sizes or short. I’m tall so maybe that’s what I was thinking when I registered? But now looking at the box it looks like it would be better to have it fit on the small side rather than the bigger side. For those of you who have used this carrier, does it not matter too much since it’s stretchy, or should I exchange it now for the smaller size? I’m pregnant right now so trying it on wouldn’t illuminate much.
I’m pregnant with my first and need recs for maternity underwear. Thongs are out (you can imagine why) and my current full bum underwear is getting a bit tight and uncomfortable. I still want underwear that will not show under dresses or skirts. Recommendations appreciated!
Question about transition from bottle to cup. My kid is 12 months. He drinks water (and sometimes milk) out of a munchkin miracle 360 cup with meals and between, but still takes milk mainly from bottles- he gets 3 small 3-4 oz bottles at daycare and a bottle before bed where he drinks anywhere from 2-5 oz depending how much he had for dinner. Should I try to transition straight to the 360 cup for everything? I think he likes the slow sucking of the bottle, especially before bed. Should I try a soft spout cup? I’m willing to try whatever as long as it’s easy to clean ( this is my concern about straw cups). Any advice on this transition?
Tell me your success stories of changing daycares. We switched from an in-home who we and daughter (2) loved to a Montessori center. She’s doing ok once she settles in (other than being back in diapers and refusing to use the potty despite having been almost fully day-trained — diapers for naps and sleeping only — prior to this week) but the drop offs are roughhhhh. I think I just need to hear that it will get better and change/transitions are rough but necessary. She never cried when we left her before but she has been at the same in-home daycare since she was 8 weeks through 2 years, so pretty major change.
I have the opportunity to take a vacation (for fun) when my son will be 8 months old and need to figure out pumping and getting the milk back. It would be 4 full days (so about 28 bags of milk). Flight + layovers are 10 hours each way, hotel has a fridge and microwave, and I will not have a car. Any tips?
