I just love those “What’s in my bag” posts that other bloggers do. So I thought today I would share my version of…

What’s in my diaper bag?

Because let’s be honest, that’s all I’ve been carrying lately. I have been switching between an actual diaper bag and then carrying an oversized tote around.

The actual diaper bag I carry is from Chicco. It’s big, has loads of pockets, and it even has an insulated zipper pocket that’s pretty handy. The only downside is that it doesn’t like to stay on my shoulder very well. The straps just slide off and when you’re juggling a car seat in the rain the last thing you want is your bag to slide down making it even harder to get around. They don’t have the one I received online anymore, but this one is similar.

I also have a few totes that I’ve converted into diaper bags. They aren’t as handy since they don’t have inside pockets, but they stay on my shoulder so I can’t complain.

I also have a nice diaper changing pad clutch that I can throw in to any bag. So I carry that around whenever I’m just running into a place real quick.

I’ve been eyeing this diaper bag from Lily-Jade for awhile now, but it’s pretty steep for my budget. I’ve been trying to save up for it and hope to get it soon. I just think it’s so pretty and I love the fact it converts from a messenger bag to tote to backpack. I think even J wouldn’t mind carrying it, but who am I kidding? He doesn’t mind to carry the diaper bag at all!

I created a quick video post showing what’s all in my diaper bag. You can check it out on Youtube. I also linked some of the products below, too.

Diaper Pad Clutch

I keep a few extra diapers in here, wipes, and an extra onsie. That way if we go out to eat or I just need to run in somewhere then I don’t need to haul everything else around. It makes it a lot easier.

We got home this past weekend from Florida. It was such an amazing trip! Our house was about 100 feet from the beach and had killer views! The whole top floor was a master suite, which my parents claimed! HAHA! We ate yummy seafood at every meal, we went shark fishing off the coast and J even cooked up our catch! We spent majority of our time at the beach.

I also spent a lot of time snuggling our little guy! He did great at the beach! We took him in the ocean and he liked it. He didn’t cry at all, even when a wave came and splashed both of us in the face pretty good. It didn’t even phase him. I think it’s safe to say we have a water baby and I couldn’t be happier! I love water, I always have.

I saw on Pinterest this great idea of using a laundry basket at the beach and it worked great. It was easy to haul stuff down, a non-sandy place for the baby to nap and if he was still sleeping when it was time to go in then I just picked it up. His sleep was undisturbed! I’m working on a post of all the beach tips and tricks we discovered. It was a breeze travelling with him.
