Ju-Ju-Be

I was given lots of advice when I was pregnant about diaper bags. I heard they're life savers, they're not worth it, they're a pain to carry around with all of your other things, etc. As dumb as it sounds, I researched different diaper bags ha. I decided that I wasn't going to carry around a purse AND a diaper bag so I needed one with a lot of space & organization. I came across two brands; Ju-Ju-Be & Petunia Picklebottom. I decided on Ju-Ju-Be (1. Price was better 2. Material was way more durable 3. They're just more of a "smart" bag) & totally loved the first diaper bag I ordered (it was my Valentine's Day present LOL). Well, I grossly underestimated how much stuff you have to tote around with a baby! My cute little messenger style diaper bag is just too small; especially if I want my stuff to go in it too.  So, with my birthday money from my grandma I ordered a backpack style.

It just got here today but I'm gonna love using it! It has so many organizational spaces; I just love it. It leaves plenty of room for anything extra I might need to bring for myself, such as scriptures on Sunday (they wouldn't fit in the other one by the time I put all of John's things in), clean shirt because you just never know, wallet, keys, sunglasses, cell phone etc.

Totally worth the $$$ especially since it'll last through all the kids we decide to have.

My wallet, keys (which are on a built in clip), sunglasses (in a built in soft sunglasses sack), cell phone (in a built in cell phone holder), and envelopes of coupons ( in another built in compartment) all fit in the bottom zipper compartment. John's extra romper is in the zipper above the Ju-Ju-Be logo. 

The bottle holders on the side are insulated & keep the bottles warm or other drinks cold. Love it.

Paci Pod. Best invention EVER. 

Memory foam padded back pack straps. Also comes with a detachable shoulder strap which is stored in the back compartment alongside the memory foam changing pad.

A glimpse of the inside. I haven't even used all the zippers! How exciting :)

Ju-Ju-Be has tons of other great gear too. I've invested in a wallet, mess shuttle & paci pod. Check out their website all you mommies & moms-to-be :)

I really can't believe I just made a post about diaper bags, but here you have it! Amazing the things that excite you when you become a mother.
