eight month diaper bag

 carrying a diaper bag has never really appealed to me.  carrying a tote with all things 'diapery' is more my style.  and now that Carson is a little older and a little less high maintenance i've converted to an understated utility tote for all of his essentials.  here's what i'm carrying.  

diapers & wipes - and a changing mat.  i've found a cute one online and am committed to purchasing items like this that are unisex. 

sunblock - aveeno everything!  i love their lotions and baby wash and given the time of year won't leave the house without this stuff.  i occasionally carry a deet free bug spray too. 

pjs (that double as a day outfit) - old navy has the cutest two and three piece sets.  it's convenient to through them into a bag and know that regardless of what happens, day or night, we're covered.

burp clothes - my favorite are the ones pictured by anis and aden.  the best thing about 'em is that they double as a bib!

sippy cup & baby food - our little mister is now eating more solids and can drink a little from the sippy cup which makes travel easier.  i keep baby food pouches in the bag at all times and sippy cup more for entertainment purposes (at least for now).

hand sanitizer & wipes - can you ever have enough?! burt's bees and honest company are two brands i like and feel good about using on the babe.

toys & books - carson is drawn to stories and anything he can teeth on these days.  having a supply of both in the bag helps to keep him entertained and happy.

what's missing is my wallet, sunglasses, lipstick and coffee.  you know, the mom essentials.

cheers!
