For baby AB we do a little nursing, a little formula and a little pumping (and thank heavens her little stomach will take whatever we give it… ha).  So while on maternity leave when AB and I would head out the door I would tote along her diaper bag, my wallet, my pump bag and a cooler bag.  We live in a rural area so when we would go out it would usually be for a good chunk of time, so I found I usually did need everything I was carting along but man was it a bear.  When I went back to the office, I would leave each day with my work bag, lunch bag, pump bag and, if AB was going to the sitters, her diaper bag.

Then a coworker showed me her new “diaper” bag and I was obsessed!  It is definitely much more than a diaper bag and I snagged one for myself.   To be honest, I have always been a big bag person (Brandon use to loving refer to my purse as my “carry-on”) so there was no surprise when I loved it.

It’s the Skip Hop Grand Central Take-It-All Diaper Bag!  This thing holds it all!  It is my week day go-to and also perfect for outings with the family.  During the week, I use the large middle compartment to stash all my pump stuff (which I keep in these wet/dry bags) and on one side is my stuff (like my wallet, phone, sun glasses, little notebook) and the other, a few things for AB (small toy, diapers, wipes, formula).  I keep her side stocked so if we run some errands after work I still just need my one bag.  On the weekend when we are headed out I still have my wet/dry bags for my pump stuff, but can leave that in the car and lighten the bag up a bit.  I also use the middle compartment for days out of the house with the baby to stash some extras (burp rags, change of clothes and maybe a few more toys).

I snagged these wet/dry bags off amazon and for now I use the large bag for my pump supplies and the middle size for my pump parts so I can stash them in the fridge between pumps.   This has been a nice upgrade from the poor Ziploc I was washing out each night after work.   The small one is perfect to throw in my bag incase AB gets an outfit dirty or there is nowhere to throw away a diaper (#thereispeeinmypurse #momlife).  And these ones have held up great and I can see using them down the road for wet swimsuits after the beach or vacation hamper bags for little ones!

I may look like I am ready to move in any where I go, but I love this Mary Poppins-esque bag!  And to be honest, it would probably be a great weekender bag for those without a little one in tow.  There is no shame in rocking a baby bag sans baby.  I actually used one before I had Annabelle because I loved all the pockets.  What is your go to bag?
