So my friend up the street, Kelly, asked awhile back if there were any things in my life (other than my stroller) that I just couldn't live without. I have so many Mommy-sentials that seem SO important to me, and then when I tell them to other people, stressing just how awesome they are... Nobody ever seems to get it. It must be that I live in a world all my own, filled with strollers, sippy cups, and of course...Diaper Bags.
Ahhh... The Diaper Bag...
I've got a few girlfriends who have ONE diaper bag. Girls, that makes me cringe. To me, that's like having one pair of underwear. Diaper bags are like jeans. You have many different kinds, the kinds that you can dress up, the kinds you can dress down, the kinds that hide all your flaws, the kinds that make you look all sleek and stylish... You know what I mean... One pair of jeans is not always equal to the next. I know you understand this.
Anyway, I've got about 10-12 different bags, all of which I love for all different reasons. I adore my 3 different Vera Bradley Diaper Bags. They're incredibly versatile, they're so pretty, and I can stuff them so full that just when I think they're gonna pop I can fit in another onesie. I have a simple Petunia Picklebottom Bag that is not at all practical for triplets (or twins) but is so freakin' cute, that I couldn't pass it up. I got it on clearance at Nordstrom Rack when I was pregnant with the Trio... It has served me well... I have endless other bags including an L.L. Bean, Bean bag that my Mom gave me. It's super cute, has Mommy embroidered on it (in case I ever forget my name) and is a sweet color combo of Orange and pink. It's perfect for a long day filled with lots of sippy cups and many diaper changes.
This brings me to my latest purchase. The purchase that sent me cleaning out my hall closet, aka: diaper bag central. I bought a Skip Hop, Spark. It is the God of all bags diaper. It does what I've asked every single one of my other bags to do for me. They have all failed at this. Attach to my stroller. I've had to keep a link-a-doo attached to my stroller handle to keep my bag from sliding down the handle and hitting the wheels. Not with this little baby, no sir-eeeeee!! It's just lovely!! It has two large clips on the outer edge of the bag, that helps it to clip around the stroller handle (it's adjustable of course) and then allows for perfect access into the bag itself. The design is flawless...
The best part?
It's Red.
It matches my stroller as if it was made just for me... And sometimes, I like to walk around town, pretending that that's just the case. Is that so wrong?
Oh, and this little gem of a bag?? I didn't pay the $50 retail price on the Skip Hop website, oh no ladies... I paid $29.99 at TARGET. You heard me... Target. Run, Do not walk... It comes in black and Camouflage too... But not the pink Camo that I love so much... You win some, you lose some...
