I've been meaning to post about my diaper bag for like ummm weeks now...but of course I never got around to it!
So...better late than never right!?!
Well back in...oh I don't even remember the month...I posted about my diaper bag dilemma!
I searched and searched and asked all of you to tell me what I should buy...I EVEN bought one...an expensive one...and sent it back cause it was literally GINORMOUS and I felt bad for spending so much money.
I was seriously struggling to find to perfect bag for me.
My belly was getting bigger and time was getting short...I had all my sisters on the look out for possible bags that would work!
I obviously wanted it to be cute but more importantly I HAD to have all the right pockets and compartments...and let's be real...I needed it to be affordable!
One of my sisters was at TJMAXX and found this purse...
and although I wasn't sure about the BOLD color...
I WAS obsessed with the compartments and ALL the pockets!
and the fun details...
AND it was only 25 BUCKS...yeah you heard me right!!!
SO I took a chance and bought it...I figured I didn't have much to lose...I mean it is spring and it's all about BOLD colors this spring RIGHT!?
So far...I LOVE it...and it holds ALL my stuff perfectly!
For one inside pocket:
toys, notebook, day planner and books
For the zipper sleeve:
pens, bobby pins, lip gloss, chapstick and a jump drive (for all those pictures you take that you want printed off)
Another inside pocket:
All things baby!!
burp cloth, nursing cover, wipes, diapers (both sizes of course) and a bulb syringe! (you never know when you're gonna need it)
AND the last large compartment:
wallet, my handy little bag made by my adorable sister in-law that holds all the necessities for the whole family (lotion, sun screen, Clear eyes, Vaseline, TUMS) and of course my almonds and crasins for a healthy pick me up while out in town!
Don't forget the outside pockets:
sippy cup or bottle, phone, more pens, more chapstick, hand sanitizer, keys, pacifier, cell phone and gum!
A PERFECT FIT!
Now that I have one arm holding a car seat and the other being pulled by a toddler I need to make sure I can have everything organized and ready to grab in a pinch!
AND to think I got it all for 25 bucks!
Yet another reason why I am OBSESSED with TJMAXX!!
just remember...
It never hurts to search!
What are some of YOUR MUST-HAVES for your diaper bag!?
Heaven forbid I forget something!
XOXO
Pin It Now!
I also searched all over for the perfect diaper but couldn't find exactly what I wanted. Then I came across a cute little giraffe print diaper bag at Fred Meyer that was almost perfect. What makes it perfect is the diaper bag organizer I ordered from amazon. It just slides right into my new cute bag and it has a whole bunch of compartments so I don't have to dig in the bottom of my bag for anything. Everything has a home. I absolutely love it. Some things that you didn't mention that are must haves for me are band-aids, sunblock, baby nail clippers, tweezers, floss, a mirror, and camera (because I don't have a super great phone).
ReplyDeleteLove your new purse turned diaper bag, it's a perfect fit and great for summer!
ReplyDeleteI love the diaper bag!!
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome! I'm OBSESSED with my bag from Thirty One.. the 'All in One Organizer'. Only $30 and has so many pockets on the outside and can be embroidered! www.mythirtyone.com/kassivv if anyone wants to check it out!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! you are more prepared than a boy scout! I can't imagine the weight of all that stuff on one shoulder, and the carseat on the other! Very cute bag!
ReplyDeleteYou forgot a change of clothes for the baby! I went to a play group last week and forgot a change of clothes for my baby and she had a total blow out and she ended up finishing out the play group in only a diaper! I will never forget a change of clothes again!
ReplyDelete...and those diaper sacks from the dollar store in case you need to put soiled clothes or don't have anywhere to put a dirty diaper at the moment. Fun post!
