Finally found a diaper bag!

James 355 James 357

After searching for quite some time for a better diaper bag I finally found one I really like.  As every mom knows a diaper bag is a very important item to have.  It's the key to surviving life as a mom.  I had a Petunia Pickle Bottom bag that I got as a gift at a baby shower.  It was very cute but not very convenient.  There was two really small pockets inside the big mane pocket.  Everything was a jumbled mess.  I later found out that the bag was worth about $150.  Oh ya, and one of the straps broke.  Anyway, I saw a few bags and BabiesRus that I thought were really cute and I almost bought.  They had lots of pockets including a thermal compartment, changing pad, and a pocket for MY STUFF.  I didn't by them because they were too thin and didn't open wide enough.  I noticed this once I started putting my stuff inside and it was bulging every where.   And then, I saw it.  The bag I wanted.  It's not as cute as the other ones but it's almost exactly what I was looking for.  It's shallow, so I can see everything easily and it's wide so everything fits.  It's has about 6 smaller pockets in the mane pocket.  This is where I put toys, snacks, clothes, and shoes.  Then it has a separate pocket for the changing pad with pockets for diapers, wipes and other diapering needs.  It has an outside zipper pocket where I keep all of MY stuff with a chain for my keys.  It has a small binki bag (wish I didn't need this still but I do), a thermal bottle holder on one side, and a regular bottle pocket on the other side.  The back of the bag has a pocket where I keep quite books and it has two straps to hang it oh the stroller.  I love the bag.  I wish it came in more colors or maybe corduroy.  This bag is regularly $40 at BabiesRus but I had a $5 coupon.  So I got it for $35.  What I surprise!  I like the $40 bag 10 times more then a $150 bag.  Who would have thunk?
