In our diaper bag...

When I was still pregnant and way over planning every last detail of being a mom, I started to do some research for what kind of diaper bag I wanted to carry when I found this post from Love Taza about her preference for using backpacks as diaper bags.  The idea of being able to carry everything else; the baby, carseat, coffee, etc without worrying about holding a diaper bag or balancing it on one shoulder made a lot of sense! So I started looking around for the perfect backpack that both Dave and I could carry when I found this one for very cheap at Forever 21. It has proved to be one of the best things to come out of my over planning! I love being able to have extra hands!
The problem with a backpack as a diaper bag though, especially the one that we picked, was that there isn't a ton of compartments to keep things organized. So I problem solved a little and found an adorable solution from Baggu to organize our stuff. I love Baggu and already have several of their products that I use all the time! I have their standard baggus for grocery shopping and random things when on the go and I have a few of their 3D zip bags for my toiletries when we travel. I knew that they would be perfect for our diaper bag so I got a medium 3D zip bag, a small 3D zip bag, a medium carry all pouch, and a clutch and got to organizing!

Inside the bag:

Diapers and Accessories:

• Changing Pad from Baby Sprouts Co
• Honest Company Wipes
• Honest Company Diapers

Emmet's Clothing:

• An extra onsie in case of a blow out (ours is from H & M)
• Sun Hat- Ours is from Thred UP (originally from Zutano-similar)
• Sunglasses from Target (my brother gave us these and they brighten my day every single morning!)
• Socks
• Bib (my friend Allison gave us this one!)

Nursing:

• A spare shirt just in case
• an extra set of breast pads
• A nursing cover (from covered goods- it can also be used as a car seat cover, a shopping cart cover and a scarf!)
• Burp Rags (Rosie Pope brand from Babies R Us- similar)

My Purse:

• Sunglasses
• Wallet (from Peg Dry Goods on Etsy)
• Lipstick and Chapstick
• Lavender essential oil 
• A Sharpie Pen

​Baggu is one of my favorite brands of bags and I will always shop there when I'm looking for new ways to organize! Their products last a long time, most are washable, and they come in some really adorable colors and prints! I highly recommend them!
