Weekend & Family Friday: Toy Drill and and Screwdriver Tool Set
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.
We recently bought this toy for my son, and it is a hit. Since being at home, my husband has been doing more home projects, and my son is super into it. He is calling a screwdriver a “screwver,” and it kills me how cute it sounds. To avoid my son messing with the real tools, we bought him his own screwver set. This set has a battery operated drill, a screwdriver, and a little wrench. So far we’ve just gotten to screwing the screws in, but you can build upwards with the colorful shapes. The nice part also is that the board you screw into is also part of the carrying case where all of the pieces fit inside. Yes, there are a lot of small pieces, but the overall footprint is small. The set is $27.99 at Amazon. Toy Drill and and Screwdriver Tool Set

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?
Oh that’s very neat. We’ve gotten a lot of mileage this week out of a shoebox, wooden hammer, and golf tees. My son can hammer the nails. All things we have around the house as I’m getting a bit nervous about buying extra things and then have to store then when nursery starts again.
Cute kid tales as we head into the weekend? My mom made my son a sling for his baby and he’s such a little hipster daddy with it. Looks like he’s going to head out for a flat white and a cardamon bun.
Good morning! Non-covid question: how do I begin to choose a double stroller? I’m due in October and kids will be 2 years apart. Our favorite stroller now is a cheap baby trends jogger. I think we would prioritize maneuverability and ability to handle rough surfaces like the terrible sidewalks in our neighborhood.
Looks like there are so many configurations (tandem, side by side, facing each other, etc)… how do you begin to choose?
Thank you!
Can anyone give me advice on Isabella Oliver maternity dress sizing? Looking at the tighter ruched styles. 10ish pre-pregnancy but I’m pretty hippy and I’m worried the size 4 will feel too small…although going to a 12-14 seems like a big jump, and there’s no way I’ll fill out the top.
Would anyone like to share their daily parenting/working/schooling schedules with their spouse/partner? My husband and I are failing at this. Most days I don’t end up doing school stuff with my son until 4 p.m., which is clearly not ideal. He’s also getting WAY too much screen time, and we’re not doing enough fun and non-school educational things with him during the weekdays or weekends. My productive time for work is from about 8 a.m. to noon, so I want to preserve some of that. I’m working part time, at least, so that helps… And my husband says he’s available to take a break from work for an hour or two after lunch, so we’ve got that.
I’d like to get myself some kind of treat, except that I’m out of mental energy to figure out what. Normally I’d go get a manicure/pedicure. Does anyone have anything that they’ve bought recently that feels indulgent and made you smile? Budget is around $50. No food allergies, somewhat sensitive skin but most stuff is generally fine.
Apparently pre-K is exhausting- kiddo is going to sleep 60-90 minutes later than when in school. I think she’s getting a *little* less exercise than at school (less motivated to run without her friends, stuck inside during sibling’s nap) but we are definitely getting a decent amount of exercise so I assume it’s just less emotionally tiring at home. Needless to say this is having a big impact on us since whoever does her bedtime now has way less “free” time in the evening for working, chores or exercising. We stay in her bed till she’s asleep, which used to be 10 minutes but is now longer. She’s not getting much 1:1 attention from us during the day right now so I’m not dying to stop lying down with her and take that away from her right now but … Is that our only option? Is there something else that would just tire her out more? Even if we take a 4 mile walk and play outside for two hours she’s still up past her old bedtime.
well, i confirmed (with the finger test) that I have Diastasis Recti. Didn’t have this with my first pregnancy so it took me a while to realize. Anyone have experience with this and can recommend most effective exercises? How long did it take for it to resolve?
Summer dreaming in the age of COVID19. What kind of backyard pool/toys would you recommend for baby, 7-10 mos over the course of summer. Janky dollar store? Here for it all.

In the meantime, I’m going to go find some Lysol because apparently I’m supposed to DRINK IT now. !?!?!??!?!?!?
Fun Friday afternoon question. I just realized that my family has been on an unintentional Tom Hanks movie binge. We couldn’t think of a movie to watch tonight, and it’s probably because we’ve run out of Tom Hanks movies. Any suggestions for character-driven, uplifting movies that would be enjoyable for adults as well as a 13-year-old?
