I am an outdoor mama through and through. Rain, shine, sleet, or snow—you’ll find me out and about with my kids, getting fresh air and making memories. Some days, that means a peaceful neighborhood walk while my toddler collects every “special rock” he can find. Other days, it means fully committing to an all-day adventure, regardless of what the weather has in store.
Take last weekend, for example. My husband and I planned a fun family day at the zoo, and the forecast called for “a chance of snow.” We laughed about it on the drive there, debating if we were crazy to follow through with our plans. But hey, we are an adventuring family—a little snow wouldn’t stop us.
Except… it didn’t just “snow.” It dumped.
By the time we got to the zoo it was coming down fat fluffy snowflakes fast! The paths were eerily quiet, and the handful of other visitors? Yeah, they were gone. But honestly? It was amazing. My kids had a blast running through the very empty zoo, watching the penguins become the happiest resident of the zoo, and getting an up-close experience with animals that are usually blocked by crowds.
It was the perfect day. Well, almost.
Because amidst all the magic, I had one very real, very predictable problem:
I kept dropping my phone.
My “Butter Fingers” Struggle is Real
It happens constantly. Every single day. And on this particular day, it was even worse because I was:
☃️ Taking a million pictures of the kids with the animals
☃️ Taking my gloves on and off to help supply snacks
☃️ Trying to record videos while also pushing a stroller through slushy pathways
☃️ Attempting to balance hot coffee in one hand while wrangling a toddler with the other
At one point, I dropped my phone face-first on the path, and before I could pick it up, my toddler stepped right on it with his tiny, boot-covered foot. Classic.
And if you think this was a one-time thing, let me assure you—it was not.
I have broken every single phone case I have ever owned. No exaggeration. They all crack, snap, or fail to do their one job, leaving my phone looking like it barely survived a war zone. I have shattered screens, busted camera lenses, and made way too many frantic trips to the phone repair store.
I needed a solution. Something to protect my phone from me.
Enter: Phone Lasso.
The Life-Saving, Phone-Saving Solution Every Mom Needs
I don’t say this lightly: Phone Lasso has saved my phone.
If you’re unfamiliar, Phone Lasso is a genius little phone strap that keeps your device secure, no matter where you are or what you’re doing. It’s basically like a safety harness for your phone, and let me tell you—it’s the best thing that has ever happened to my clumsy, butter-fingered self.
Why I Love It (And Why You Need One Too)
📌 It attaches in seconds. No complicated setup, no tools, no fuss. Just stick it onto your phone or case, and boom—you’re set.
📌 It works with ANY phone case. Which is great for me because, well… my phone cases have a short life expectancy.
📌 It acts like a security leash. Whether I’m juggling my kids, running errands, or climbing through playground equipment (yes, I climb, too), my phone stays attached to my wrist instead of smashing to the ground.
📌 It’s a lifesaver for active moms. I’ve used it while:
✔️ Wrangling my toddler at the grocery store
✔️ Pushing a stroller with two children on an uphill battle
✔️ Traveling and running through airports
✔️ Taking photos one-handed while holding a wiggly baby
✔️ At the gym (no more dropping my phone on the treadmill—yes, it has happened)
✔️ Cooking in the kitchen (saves my phone from falling into the sink!)
📌 It has literally prevented my phone from drowning. I can’t tell you how many times my phone has almost gone for a swim—into the toilet (thanks, toddler), into puddles, and yes, even into my own coffee cup. Now? Not happening.
Since using Phone Lasso, my phone has officially survived me. No more gut-wrenching, slow-motion moments of watching it slip from my fingers. No more expensive screen repairs. No more panic attacks when my toddler yells, “Uh oh!” because I just KNOW my phone has been launched across the room again.
This thing is a game changer.
