My Nanit is Broken Again: Important Safety Update

December 22, 2020 by workingmama No Comments

This is an important safety update on my Nanit baby camera with floor stand. I’ve had it for about two years now, and this morning I woke to hear a loud crash. At first I thought it was the bath toys falling off the wall where they are held by (rather weak) suction cups but then I realized it was coming from my toddler’s room. Then we quickly checked our Nanit and it was not showing a video feed. Then we checked our Nest cam and it didn’t seem as though the Nanit was there at all!

Jemma Jackie Bag Review: Travel and Work Carry-All?

December 17, 2020 by workingmama No Comments

Now for the second Jemma bag review of the season: the Jackie 56. I snagged this one alongside the Jules bag during the Thanksgiving Black Friday sale to get a higher level discount. I can’t resist a good travel / work bag to haul it all, so I’ll be comparing it here to my trusty Longchamp Le Pliage Expandable Weekender.

What to Give My Chinese Nanny For Christmas

December 11, 2020 by workingmama No Comments

Holiday gifting season is in full swing, and with that, there are a few very important gifts that I have to shop for that have been stressing me out. Luckily, gift-giving is not really a tradition among my family, so I don’t have a long list of relatives to shop for. But, there are a few really important people in my life that I want to show proper appreciation for, and one of them is my nanny. Especially this year with Covid and work from home orders, our nanny has been a savior, taking care of the toddler every day so that me and my husband can work from home effectively. Not worrying about having reliable childcare has really made it so much easier on us this year. She is a recent immigrant from China, with limited English proficiency, who speaks to us and our son mainly in Mandarin. Gift-giving is a deeply cultural thing, and so this year like every year I was wracking my brains for what would be appropriate to give her to show my appreciation and that she would enjoy. I have spent so many hours thinking about this now that I figured I would share my gift candidates and lists of things NOT to gift –in case anyone else with a Chinese nanny might need some ideas.

Jemma Jules Bag Review: A Diaper and Work Bag?

December 9, 2020 by workingmama No Comments

So after eyeing Jemma’s new Jules bag, since it was released, I finally pulled the trigger over the Black Friday Sale. The Jules bag was designed to be equally good as a diaper bag and a work bag. Its killer feature is conversion from shoulder bag to backpack, all while looking extremely stylish. Here I’ll do an in-depth review of how it stacks up as a bag for a working mama.

Jemma Bags Black Friday Sale

November 27, 2020 by workingmama No Comments

A black Friday sale is going on at Jemma–and it’s so good I couldn’t resist posting about it here. It’s $50 off $250, $100 off $400, and $200 off $650! And even better, they have a limited edition croc-embossed version of the Emma 39 available! It is in Croc Bordeaux, which looks shinier and slightly more burgundy colored than my Croc Chocolat which I reviewed here, but it still looks amazing. I’ve also been eyeing their new Jules diaper/work bag as well as their Jackie travel duffel/shoulder bag…with a sale this good I might have to pull the trigger.
