What's in Your Diaper Bag?

So, being the curious person I am, I always wonder what other mom's are toting around in their diaper bags. Here is roughly the content's of my toddler's bag.


Disposable Diapers (We only use cloth at home these days)
Wipes
An extra pair of training pants (for when we are feeling brave)
Extra Play clothes
Wet Bag (Carry over from cloth days, great for dirty or soaked clothes)
Swim clothes: Rash guard, swim diaper and sun hat (in nice weather)
Hoodie (in cooler weather)
Sunscreen, Boogie Wipes, Bug Repellent (all year)
Things to Keep Little Man Busy:
Flashcards (His doctor was amazed at how many long Dinosaur names he knew)
A Ball (this one squishes and fits nicely in the bag)
His favorite Jelly Cat Dino
Zoli Teething Sticks
Snack Cup and Snack Bag (for refilling the cup)
Sippy Cup
Disposable Bibs (After finding a really nasty moldy bib in the bottom of the bag)
Disposable Place mats (These are at least a bit more Eco-Friendly)


I wonder what Jamie Pressley has in her Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Backpack?

I will admit that I do not always lug the bag with me. We often just take a quick change kit with us and leave the bag in the car.

I also keep these compressed wipes in my purse with a spare diaper in case of "emergency".

When my kiddo was tiny, my bag was less about entertainment and more about function:
Cloth diapers
Nursing Cover
Feeding Spoon
Teether Rings
Links
Stroller Toys (that we would link together)
Swaddle/Receiving Blankets (Used as burp cloths, towels, and emergency cloth diapers)

Melissa and Doug Sound Puzzle Review by makobiscribe.com

Jennifer from Makobiscribe.com gave us and Melissa & Doug a raving review. We're very happy to have Jennifer work with us on reviewing such a great product, the Melissa and Doug Sound Puzzle, that we wanted to share her review here.

Goores sent my two boys Melissa & Doug Sound Puzzles. This had to be the cutest idea for my two. They absolutely love noises and to match the pictures with the noise (moo, neigh, baa, oink) was so much fun. It had both of them giggling and learning at the same time. I browsed around Goores.com, and they really are for babies to teens. You can purchase your own sound puzzle just in time for Christmas for only 12.99.

They are not just for children, Goores.com has sections just for dads, just for moms, furniture and skin and haircare. They have a wide variety of brand names, not only Melissa &Doug but Graco, Kid Kraft, Schylling, and more. The shipping was extremely fast; and for you soon-to-be moms, they have a baby registry also!

Thank you again!

Spring is here!

Spring is here, and that means outdoor play is at its peak. After months of being cooped up inside, all of us are itching to get out into the fresh air. Someone once said to me when we were in the market for a new house that the difference between having a yard and not with children can make or break your sanity. But even if you live in a condo or a high-rise, there’s always a bit of green to be found, and I suggest spending as much time in it as possible, both for you and your kids.

Anything that not only gets kids outdoors into the fresh air but also gives them some exercise is a big plus in my book. The Plasma Car has to be my all-time favorite ride-on for kids—easy enough for a three-year-old, but challenging enough for bigger kids, it will keep them entertained for years and get them asking questions about motion and energy.

Another great option is the Skuut Balance Bike. The Skuut is a wooden bike with no pedals, just front and back tires and handlebars. Children use it by kicking off the ground and pushing, or scooting, themselves around while steering. They’ve got similar models in Scandinavia, where bike riding plays a central role in kids’ lives and is an important means of transportation. These balance bikes help young children to learn the all-important skills of balance, steering and coordination before they worry about pedaling, and makes the transition to regular bikes easier.

I also love to encourage my kids’ interest in nature, and the Schylling Explorer Net is perfect for chasing butterflies or fireflies, while the Farmer Garden Tote features child-sized gardening tools, including a watering can, to foster the nurturing of your backyard garden.

And of course, what would outdoor fun be without water toys? The Prime Time Toys Max Liquidator Eliminator Water Shooter is just tons and tons of fun. It looks like one of those foam noodles, but when you pull on the back section, it loads up with water, and then shoots it up to 30 feet. That’s all the way across a swimming pool!

So get out there, and enjoy the weather!
