What's in my [diaper] bag?

I love my diaper bag. I was so thrilled when Elsie & Rachel surprised me with such a fantastic baby/mama gift! Here's my baby edition of What's In My Bag!

-daytimer + blackberry

-cupcake coffee cozy from Twinkie Chan

-matching Orla Kiely change pad

-Haba clutching toy

-bib from Little Jumping Beans

-bow from Red Velvet Art (for me) :)

-gum + tictacs

-Aveda lip tint in 'Spice'

-Mentha lip gloss in 'Plum Shine'

-sunglasses (Joe Fresh)

-my JuJuBe BeQuick, equipped with spare clothes, burp cloth, RVA baby bear hat, and a ziploc bag for soiled items just in case. This makes a great bag for a few diapers and some wipes and my wallet for a quick trip. It's like my mini diaper bag.

-nuk pacifier

-diapers and pull-ups of course (soon we won't need the pull-ups, I'm hoping!)

-wipes (not pictured)

-blabla rattle

-bebe au lait nursing cover

-instax camera

-keys

-wallet

-zincofax (this is just for emergencies, I prefer to use the Arbonne Herbal diaper rash cream, but we leave that at home)

-Tide To Go for the spit up mishaps. It doesn't do the trick all the time (for my shirts), but for the little messes it's great to have. Also if baby makes a leaky #2 diaper (tmi!) it's good to use before washing her clothes so it doesn't stain.

-eco-owl coin purse

-Orla Kiely journal for keeping ideas on the go, or for jotting down those kids-say-the-darndest-things moments.

-the latest issue of Canadian Hairdresser magazine, for those times in the car when I'm the passenger, and for inspiration.

-not pictured: kashi bar and bottle of water for me. I've realized the importance of not only worrying about feeding the kiddos, but making sure I'm fed and hydrated on the go, as well.

-also not pictured: the digital thermometer and bottle of motrin.... wouldn't want y'all to think I'm an over-prepared/paranoid mom.. hehe.

ps: Simon has his own backpack for sippy cups/snacks, books, trains and other toys... but when we're on the road, he usually just likes to sit in the car and take in all the sights. It's nice that he's so good at entertaining himself and that I don't need a ton of stuff for him in the diaper bag.

Looks like a lot but it all fits!

That was fun. :)
