I haven’t seen Vera Bradley’s black diaper bags before, but they look great — lightweight, functional, professional. Zappos also has this in a number of bright, happy colors which I’m guessing would do a great job of hiding stains. The bags are $138 at Zappos; Vera Bradley has a few other options at the brand’s website. Vera Bradley Baby Bag

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 SIL has this baby bag and loves it because it’s fairly innocuous and her husband can carry it without it screaming BABY BAG.
For those of you with older children, I need help with organization of Legos. Our house is being overtaken (and I LOVE it–I love legos) and I am looking for a new method of storage/organization. Currently, we’re using the cheap Sterilite drawers from Walmart and dividing by color/type. It’s easy, the kids can do it, and it makes cleanup a cinch. However, we’re considering moving all.the.legos from my oldest son’s (6) room to the playroom, and I would like a bit of a better/nicer looking storage system. We are probably going to construct or purchase a 6- or 12- cube horizontal storage shelf, but I don’t want to just dump all the legos into a 12x12x12 cube–I’d like to keep them separated if we can.
Does anyone have any ideas/seen anything similar/useful??
I use the Longchamp ‘le pliage’ backpack as my diaper bag. For me, it is the best thing ever. So durable, washable and doesn’t look like a diaper bag.
Hi ladies, I’m about 7 weeks pregnant (this is my first one) and tonight my husband and I are going to dinner to celebrate the pregnancy. We haven’t really done anything to officially celebrate together since we have both been a little paranoid and worried about the health of the baby (I have a few close friends who recently experienced miscarriages so it has been on our mind). However, we’ve decided to push the fears aside and focus on the positive so I’m looking forward to tonight. Do you ladies have any suggestions as to specific topics we should discuss and/or questions we should ask each other? We’ve already talked about names and maternity/paternity leave but really not a lot beyond that.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. :)
