Lands’ End Pattern Diaper Bag Totes

Diaper Bags, Organization

LandsenddiapertoteLands End is known for their durable clothing and outdoor
accessories and now they have a diaper bag tote sporting the same
durability. Features including a diaper changing pad, six large pockets, and a pocket on the outside to hold mom’s cell phone, pacifier (hopefully not mom’s), and more make this an ideal everyday diaper bag. 

These are quit possibly the most sturdy tote’s I have used. While testing these totes, I packed so much stuff in them, I feel like Mary Poppins.  I was able to put two classic metal jack-in-the-boxes, a full size diaper wipe case, diapers, two sippy cups, a snack bowl, a water bottle, coloring book and crayons, a pair of Madelyn’s shoes, a small doll, and my wallet in one of these. It’s truly amazing. The full zipper closure keeps everything in and the reinforced handles make sure that this diaper bag tote won’t drop off your shoulder any time soon.

Starbunz all-in-one cloth diapers: $32

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Baby & Kids Clothing, Diaper Bags

BellakidscheetaIf you want to ensure that your baby is going to be the center of attention at your next play date or family reunion, you need to wrap her little booty up in a Starbunz cloth diaper.  The cheetah design is part of a super cute line of animal face diaper covers and all-in-one’s each of which sport a cute, fuzzy animal face like a cheetah, pig, tiger, or duck.   Madelyn loves tugging on the cheetah’s ears. 

Madelyn usually wears chlorine free disposable diapers and when I put the Starbunz cheetah all-in-one on her, she knew something was different.  After about 5 minutes of tugging on the cheetah’s ears, and turning in circles thinking she would see the entire diaper she started to show off (see video below).  The elastic legs and waist look so much more comfortable than the plastic of the disposable diapers and the 3 size adjustable snap setting is a great feature.  Starbunz diapers are very soft and have a nighttime rating of 12 hours and a daytime rating of 5 hours.

Available in small, medium, large, and x-large you will find a size to fit your new baby, chubby baby, or toddler.

Franklin Covey – Totes and Binders for mom

Announcements & Stationary, Diaper Bags, Fun stuff for parents, Organization, Personalized

Franklin_bellissima_blog
Who said Mom’s can’t be organized?   I did.. a long time ago. When I was introduced to Franklin Covey’s planning systems, binders, and totes and my thoughts on organization have changed.

I absolutely fell in love with the Bellissima Business Tote the first time I saw it. This
luxurious calfskin tote featuring full-grain leather is divided into two large
compartments and lined in supple suede. Toting my laptop around has never been easier, or more stylish. Much better than my vinyl laptop bag. 

The Bellissima Business Tote ensures that I am comfortable and stylish while toting all of my necessities. If need be, I can carry my laptop, a few diapers, a travel wipe case, diaper cream, and even a few office accessories in this tote.
The interior pockets are spacious enough to hold my PDA, cell phone, iPod, pens, and other everyday necessities.

If you desire a more casual handbag and binder solution, Franklin Covey’s got you covered with their Her Point of View totes and binders.

This line of totes features a magnetic closure, an 11" drop strap, and a spacious interior boasting perfectly sized pockets for carrying your much needed pens, cell phone, and personal items.   The Her Point of View tote is available in several classic colors great for every season.

I am very impressed with the silky soft leather and the flexibility of the Her Point of View tote.  I can’t stand lugging around a stiff handbag.  The brass accents add a touch of style and it doesn’t stop there. The style is brought into the interior of the handbag with a beautiful flower print and a coordinating detachable wristlet.

So what do these totes have to do with organization? Their matching binders of course!  These are the binders we dream of. Soft leather, lots of pockets/storage space, sturdy, room for a lot of planning pages and more. For the moms who might not have an obsessively organized tote, there is the zipper closer and for those who aren’t worried about their tote contents snagging on, attaching themselves to, or leaking on their binder, there is the magnetic closure.  The Bellissima binder is available with a magnetic or zipper closure and the Her Point of View collection features a magnetic closure.

Franklin Covey’s totes and binders are items that will last a lifetime and most of their designs won’t go out of style when the trends change.

Luvs diaper review

Diaper Bags,

While we are waiting for Madelyn’s Seventh Generation diapers to arrive, I decided to try Luvs diapers instead of the usual Huggies or Pampers we use for backup.
That was a mistake. When I got Madelyn out of bed this morning, she was soaking wet! Yuck!!
Madelyn is 17 months and wears a size 4 diaper. She didn’t drink anymore last night than any other night so I can’t blame the overflow on more liquid consumption.

I would rather pay a few cents more per diaper than have to spend time in the morning giving Madelyn a bath, undressing her bed, washing her bedding, then putting the bedding back on.   It seems like I would spend more money on water consumption (from washing her bedding) than by spending a little more on better diapers.

I will stick to our favorite diaper brand, Seventh Generation from now on. I just have to order them sooner so we don’t run out again.

This is where I buy Seventh Generation diapers.

Baby Oopz – a diaper bag necessity

Age 0-1 year, Baby & Kids Clothing, Diaper Bags

Babyoopz1Babies are perfect. Well, almost perfect. You know.. there are those times when baby has an "oops" while you are out. Not only is that not perfect, it’s inconvenient and possibly a plan changing event. Moms already have little time to themselves, so while we are out shopping, the last thing we want to have to do is leave our favorite store to go home and change baby out of her soiled clothes.  BUT..

Baby Oopz has made ‘oopsie daisy’ situations much easier to handle with their line of super cute "oopz" baby clothes.  Just keep a set in your diaper bag and you are set for the day. Keep a Baby Oopz set in a zip lock bag in your diaper bag so you are always ready.

Pieces include baby onesies in both short and long sleeves, bibs, toddler shirts and shorts, and long pants. Girls aren’t the only ones who make mistakes. Baby Oopz recognizes that with a selection for boys and girls.
