Bag: Petunia Pickle Bottom. It’s a good bag. No complaints. Doubles as a backpack– I’ve never tried it this way. But really, any large bag would do— this is cute and holds my things: win/win.
I carry A LOT of stuff. I always have. I’m always one of those people with the big purses filled with things “just incase”. I guess people call that “a bag lady” sigh. Now the bag is over run with Marlowe things, but before I would also carry: a bathing suit, a sweater, an ipod, a book, markers, a notebook, and so on. I would have been great on that show “Let’s Make A Deal”.
- wet/dry- dirty diaper bag
- bum genius cloth diapers
- burp cloth – suitable for spit-up, drool, or salsa messes
- extra onesie
- pants – in case it goes from hot to not-so-hot
- butt wipes case – I only use 7th generation or earth’s best wipes. &a changing pad. (both came with bag)
- spare diapers – just in case. 7th generation
- pacifier chain
- piece of string- you never know- I might need a piece of string!
- sun hat/crotchet hat
- rattle/teether
- head scarf
- wallet- $$$$
- raybans
- pacifier case- when I got this I thought: “how unnecessary” (sorry Julia). Then I had a baby and realized: “how great! I do need a place to keep a pacifier from getting dirty and/or lost!”
- wholefoods brand natural hand sanitizer
- two types of stain remover- one natural, one not so much.
- natural spraymist -for when my armpits start to stink. ew
- hand lotion
- eye drops – I hate using these things, but I’m supposed to be for a while since having Lasik.
- lip balm- I think I’ve used this 3 times in one year. Why do I even carry this?
- mac powder foundation- I’m in the process of switching over all my cosmetics to vegan/natural ones. Every time I run out of one thing I make the switch. Unfortunately, I go through my make-up so slowly that I still have this a year later. (Yes, I’d rather use a non-vegan product, than create unnecessary waste.)
- boiron camilia teeth drops– I’ve been using these for a while and just added them to the purse since the India-Fest incident.
I don’t know what I could even take out: besides maybe that lip balm and maybe the armpit spray? Whateva’.
I also carry: a blanket, but this was left in the car seat. & sweater on colder days. another toy of some sort. &of course my camera &phone

@Cassie: Some days it seems like it helps… some days not so much. The days it doesn't I do a second dose 15 minutes and that usually does the trick.
@Kaitlin: As of right now the only vegan make-up I'm using is a tinted moisturizer by smash box. I'm not sure if all their products are vegan, but that one is. Other than that I only use the MAc powder foundation and a mac blush, both of which I've had way too long. I know if you go into Sephora and ask they carry about 3 to 4 lines of vegan products 🙂
Hey! I was wondering what vegan makeup you were switching to? I'm on the look-out for a good brand as I begin my switch to veganism 🙂
How do you like the boiron teething products? We are using Humphreys right now but looking for done other options as the molars are starting to come through, eeek.
I don't have a diaper bag yet! Agh!
I love how organized yours is.
i don't know what you can take out. it seems like you need everything. i'm just glad i don't have to carry it. but, you are def the mom to hang out with since you got everything! lol
@marcella: I haven't checked out any of their stuff recently, but I'm sure it's amazing. I might have to peek over since my birthday is coming up 🙂
@Chelsea: this is not an original idea! i've seen it done many many times before. Mostly with purses, like the marieclaire one:)
Sometimesweet did one last week and I saw one a while back from bleubird, but like I said, I've seen it done a ton of ther places too:)
It's nice to peek into someones purse! I cant wait to see yours!
this is such a great idea for a post!! i love reading the "What's in my bag" page in marie claire. would you mind terribly if i borrowed this idea one day? OF COURSE i would link back to you and give you creds.
if not, that's fine too. let me know 🙂
Wow you do carry a lot of stuff haha! I love your diaper bag btw. 🙂
The Sweetest Life♥
we have the same diaper bag! LOVE IT! boy you stuffed that thing to the BRIM! have you seen PPB's new Wallets and Make-up bags! ::SWOON:::
i don't have a baby, but i carry about the same amount of stuff around…for just MYSELF. is that bad? 🙂
Holy cow that's a lot of stuff!!!
My diaper bag contains four diapers, one outfit change, wipes, a toy, a Nuk, a rag, a blanket, and his snack container if I remembered to grab it. We're just about to grow out of the tiny one strap backpack we've used since day one though!
@ellie I'm glad I could help you take one step closer to becoming a more of a bag lady 🙂
I feel so much better for not being the only one that takes "half the house with in the diaper bag" (words from my sister) lol. I never thought about the stain remover! I'll have to add that. Thanks 🙂
HAhahaha, I was going to mention that in the post and totally forgot. BUT WHAT CAN I TAKE OUT!?!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! that's a LOT of stuff. i feel like a bad mom now. i never carried that much stuff in mine.
