Step 1: Choose a FABULOUS bag.
When I say fabulous, I mean a diaper bag that doesn’t look like a diaper bag. I started out with a Petunia Picklebottom one, but I wasn’t a fan of the obnoxious prints, and found myself wishing I had a different one to match all of my outfits. I was so happy when I found Lily Jade. This Lily Jade diaper bag above is the Meggan in Black! It has a million pockets, seriously… a removable insert, can be worn THREE different ways, and wipes clean! Did I mention that the inside is RED?! Yes, no more digging into the black hole that is the inside of your diaper bag! haha.
Step 2: Get your mom tools ready!
I never leave the house without my snacks [delicious raw almonds], a snack for Grace [her favorite is cucumbers], and a cute bib. (This one is from Bebe Au Lait, and I love how giant it is!) My hand sanitizer wipes, homemade sanitizing spray, and a book are also essentials since Grace is a total bookworm! Seriously, that girl prefers books over toys! Totally a teacher’s kid!
I hope you enjoyed this post! Be sure to share it with some friends, if you did!

A Lily Jade bag is definitely on my list of things to get ready for baby! Thanks for this post! I'm always skeptical if the stock pictures truly represent how much you can put in, but you are giving me some confidence that the bag maybe worth the price tag. Plus, I am going to use that sucker for awhile, so I don't want it falling apart after a couple months! Also…is that giraffe teether worthy of all the hype?
