Mum = boss. Da boss woman, the ninja, the juggler and doer of all family things. Curator of the finely tuned juggle that is keeping everyone fed, watered, transported, safe and loved. Mums juggle – fact. We are damn good at it – fact! So I wanted to celebrate the sheer awesomeness that is mothers with a fun post about how to juggle like a mum!
Yes – this is me juggling balls! I’m not actually very good at juggling balls but I am good at juggling life! It was an easy decision to name this blog JuggleMum – everyone who knows me agreed that it was an ideal name! But I am not the only juggling mama out there and so I wanted to ask my blogging friends for their own tips and hacks on how they get through the daily juggle. Here’s what they said:
So as you can see, we all have our hands full but I found something that helped me this week when I had my hands full – literally! You may remember from a recent post that I was sent a Loopy iPhone case to review? This case has been a lifesaver to me recently – I haven’t dropped my phone once!
The Loopy Case is a new business from three brothers who wanted to come up with a solution for cracked screens and dropped phones after their Dad dropped his new iPhone just seconds after upgrading it! From working around the clock to come up with this simple but brilliant design, they managed to launch the business after a successful Kickstarter campaign which secured crowd funding to help them launch. Now this American brand is coming to the UK and has been making waves on Facebook in a big way to get lots of UK fans! I was delighted when they offered me a case to review so I could see how I used it on my daily juggle…
The guys at Loopy wanted me to use the case for at least 4 days before writing about it so I could see how valuable it would be in my life and now that I have it, I never want to let it go! When I upgrade my phone I will order a new Loopy case as it is part of my life now. The model I have is the Gold Signature Edition model that launches next month so they let me have this one pre-release! They are such great guys and a lot of fun. Their energy and enthusiasm for their product is clear in all the emails I’ve exchanged with them.
The Loopy case is cute to look at but the real genius is in how it impacts your everyday life in helpful ways all throughout the day, especially for active, on the go people. No more phone-face drops, easier screen reaching, no more expensive cracked screens, and the benefit of multi-grasping anything at anytime without worry – especially when you have full hands. Life in the loop has been pretty cool so far.
If you want to get yourself a Loopy Case then they retail for around £22 GBP (depending on currency exchange rate) and for more information check out www.loopycases.com. Thank you to Loopy Cases for the Gold Signature Edition iPhone case to review – it has really helped me to #StopTheDrop!

Oh I am in love with that product now. I’m often trying to carry all those things and a 3 month old. What a genius idea xx
It is, isn’t it! It would be so much easier with a baby too. How to juggle without dropping the baby! (This was actually the name of one of the talks I used to give at women’s business networking sessions!!) haha x
Sounds like an interesting idea. Thanks for including my thoughts.
You’re welcome. It was a great tip!
Love the quotes from mums! I certainly find coffee and magnesium tablets really useful! I need one of these cases in my life too! Looks fab!
Ooh magnesium tablets – must look into that!
That is genius! I drop the phone so much when carrying all of the kids stuff, I definitely need one of these cases!
What a natty little invention. I always put my phone in my coat pocket but I see loads of mums at school clutching their phones plus coats, jumpers, bookbags and water bottles!
I know – we need 6 arms don’t we?!
This case looks perfect for me – I am forever putting my phone in my back pocket and it has ended up in the loo a couple of times or dropped on the floor
I’m a pretty ace juggler too, it just seems to be in my genes. Love that iphone case, very simple bur effective. Mich x
The simple ideas are just the best aren’t they?!
I have a loop on my car keys and it was the best thing I did! Some fantastic tips there about being organised
What a brilliant idea – I dropped my phone last week [smashed] and this would have been so amazing to have had! Love the ideas about getting ready in the morning.
Oh no! RIP phone! It is such an amazing idea, I haven’t dropped my phone once:-)
