Look Inside My Diaper Bag

As I mentioned in my recent What's in my Diaper Bag? video, I got a new diaper bag about a month ago. I searched for several months to find the perfect bag. I ended up purchasing the Lassig Tender Multizip Bag.

When I am searching for a diaper bag I have a few "must haves." I really don't like diaper bags that look like diaper bags. I prefer a more modern looking bag that could pass off as a purse. I also really like it to have top zipping main pocket because when I had a bag that only had a snap closure I was constantly knocking it over and spilling the contents of the bag all over the place. Finally, I like to invest a little bit in a quality bag. This is also do to past experience of buying cheaper bags that met a quick end usually lasting only three to four months. So after a few months of searching I found a winner.

It has tons of zipper pockets, which I love. It helps me stay organized, but has taken some getting used to.

The front small pocket I like to call my "Mommy Pocket."

and this is how I like to pack it.

I also usually keep a small notebook in here for writing down blog and video ideas. 

The next pocket in is where I like to keep all of the kids toys and books. Its my "Entertainment Pocket." Everything kept in here is OK for Averlee to play with. She is going through a stage where she really likes to empty things, so I normally just open the zipper and let her have at it. I also keep a bib and a wipe-able placement for when we got out to eat.

In the very middle there is a smaller more hidden pocket where I keep things that I need easy access to, but don't want the kids messing with. In there I keep Aaden's inhaler, my wallet, and some boogie wipes. 

The back pocket is where the magic happens.

This is where I keep all the diapering essentials. I love that it has a specific place for wipes where I can access them without having to pull the whole package out.

The little pouch in front is totally removable if you don't want to use it, which is always nice and make it a little more customizable.

 

It also came with a really nice changing pad.  

 

 

On the very back there is a nice little "Tablet Pocket." I like to slide the nook in there when we are going to appointments and places where we have to sit and wait a while. A nook is pretty small, but I am pretty sure you could easily fit an iPad in there.

Finally, it also has stroller clips. I find that I don't really use stroller clips often, but it is always nice to know they are there.

I ♥ Freshly Picked {GIVEAWAY!}

I love dressing my kids in cute outfits. When it comes to shoes, I need them to be as functional as they are cute. I searched and searched stores for the right shoes for Averlee. We have had a rough winter here (like the rest of the country, haha) and just socks was not going to cut it like it did for Aaden. When he was a baby we lived in SoCal, and 'harsh' winter temps there hover around the low 50s during the day. It's a whole new ball game being back east and I NEEDED something that would stay on Averlee's feet. Freshly Picked moccasins fit that bill for me. They definitely saved my sanity in more ways then one. In addition to getting a pair for Averlee, we got some for Aaden as well. They slip on super easy so he is able to get them on himself, which is a huge deal for a three year old. He is going through that independent streak where he must do everything himself. It makes my mornings so much easier to just be able to tell him "Socks and moccs," before we run out the door to preschool. 

Since they are soft soled shoes, they are prefect for prewalkers. I admit before getting them I was skeptical that they would be as functional for Aaden. I was totally prepared for them just to be church shoes. He's a rough and tumble kind of kid so I was sure he would rub holes right through the bottom. Oh man, was I wrong! Aaden seriously wears his moccs just about every single day. He has jumped in puddles, stomped in snow, and dragged his feet along the side walk. For the first few weeks he had them I kept checking to make sure they weren't wearing down in the soles. What actually ended up happening was the leather got tougher in certain areas, forming something almost like a calus that one would get on their hand.

 After that I completely surrendered to the fabulousness of these shoes. They have met and exceeded every expectation I had for them. I would buy them again and again.  I plan for my children to have at least one pair in every size until they grow out of them. They have sizes 1 to 10 and are very true to size. (They even have a printable size chart you can find here.) 

 I appreciate all the colors they have. I feel like I can pick colors that better match my kiddos personalities and style. Right now Aaden's favorite color is orange. He has his own little sense of style that orange moccs just match right up with.

 I am swooning over their spring line that they recently released. 

Especially the camo print ones. These scream Aaden and are the the top of my list to snatch up for him when they come back in stock. Since Daddy is a marine, Aaden loves anything camo so he can be just like Daddy. You can check out their entire line of colors here.
