Diaper Bags

I hadn't planned on buying a diaper bag. I figured I could carry whatever I needed in the Patagonia computer bag Eric got me years ago. You know, save some money while successfully avoiding those gigantic, hideously patterned diaper totes sold by every baby store out there.

But then I started researching diaper bags. They come with changing pads! They're completely wipeable! They have things like "antimicrobial linings to reduce odor-causing bacteria" and "thermo-insulated bottle holders." And not all of them come in garish colors and require a sherpa to haul them for you! If I can spare my Patagonia bag from leaking bottles and, more importantly, diapers, I will be one happy mama.

Below are a few of the better options I've come across. While nice, numbers 1-4 cost much more than I want to spend on a bag used to carry stained clothing and used burp cloths, but numbers 5 and 6 may be just what I'm looking for. In fact, Skip Hop's Via Messenger has been Eric approved - in both the green and gray! Hopefully that means he would even consent to carrying it once in a while?!

Over the Weekend

We went camping in East Rosebud Friday night. East Rosebud is probably one of my favorite places to camp. It's beautiful!

We had planned on hiking but instead slept in, went for a walk, and lounged by the creek. Eric even went swimming! Brrrrr!

Sunday we went to church and I did laundry while Eric started trimming our new windows. The bathroom one is totally done (I just have to paint it tonight) and it looks amazing. He did such a great job!

Four Years of Bliss

Our anniversary was last night! We celebrated by having a picnic down by the river. It was so much fun :)

I love being married to this guy :)
