I have always carried a ton of bags with a ton of things in them.
I think it all started when I lived in NYC and had to carry as much as possible with me so I didn’t have to run home (especially since I lived way downtown in Battery Park City). I typically carry at least 2 bags at a time, one cute novelty type bag (usually a tote from The House of Perna) that holds all of my essentials and one with my computer or anything else that I may need for the day.
Now, throw my little one in the mix, and that means a third, or sometimes a fourth bag. The most important bag BY FAR is my diaper bag. Here is what I carry with me on a typical day. I have included links for where to find the items (or similar).
Disclaimer- I am definitely not saying these are the right items for every Mom/child or that you have to buy the same ones that I do, it is simply what works for us. This is also in no particular order.
ONE
I have always been a collector of Gucci bags, so I was super excited when my sweet husband bought me this bag. Afterall, it is the bag that I carry every day.
TWO
THREE
These are my favorite wipes and wipe holder. Ok, I mildly cheated by adding 2 in one, but I genuinely love the refillable wipe holder. It makes it easy to add new wipes as needed and I love the printed design too :). And wipes...well duh.
FOUR
I have used Dr Bronner’s products since I was young. I am super sensitive to synthetic smells, but love things that smell nice. This is perfect because it has an amazing lavender scent, and no harsh chemicals are used. I love this spray because it is perfect for those situations where you have a diaper emergency, but nowhere to wash your hands.
FIVE
Some days are just more stressful than others. I love using different essential oils to help with those “how am i going to get this all done???” kind of days (and we all have them).
SIX
This one is obviously for me, Chanel Lipgloss. These days, I don’t have much time to spend putting on makeup (between running a business and having my daughter with me 24/7 can you blame me?), but this is always my go to for a little something to make me look semi put together.
SEVEN
I actually usually keep a few different back up outfits in her bag. I keep one super cute one, and one super easy one. A girl can never have too many outfits ;).
EIGHT
This is my Mom’s doing. She loves putting headbands on the little one. She wants to make sure everyone knows she’s a girl. I truthfully very rarely use them, but on days when her outfit is a bit more masculine, I put them to use.
NINE
This nasal aspirator is SUPER important especially if your little one is sick. She hates when we use it, but its a must.
TEN
Meet Sophie la Girafe. She is getting teeth, and Sophie is a must have. She is cute and the different textures soothe the little one’s gums.
XO, A
