Can't Live Without It

I'm not a designer snob by any means, so when it came to looking for a diaper bag Coach was not the first thing that popped into my mind.  In fact, I purchased a practical tote that I was going to Monogram with M's initials.  

I used the bag for the first few months after having Mykenzi and quickly realized two things. 

1. I needed more space.

2. I missed carrying my purse.  

I know number two sounds kind of stupid, but I felt like I lost everything after having a baby.  My body, my 2 DR car I loved so much, my wardrobe, the list goes on.  Nothing was mine anymore and when you are carrying a bag full of blankets, diapers, and toys the last thing you are thinking about is carrying your own purse in addition to a diaper bag.  In fact, my debit cards, license, and chapstick reside in a wristlet floating around somewhere in the diaper bag. #momlife

Then one random morning, dressed in week old leggings, a tee with dried spit up stains, and sporting a bald spot the size of Africa (thank you postpartum hair loss), my sweet husband gave me a slice of my sanity back.  It was this Coach Diaper Bag complete with endless pockets.  Not only was the diaper bag more useful, with more space, and easier access, it made me feel like it was my bag which brought a small sense of normal in the ever changing hormones moments of Motherhood.

This beauty also happens to be gender neutral so if babe #2 happens to be a boy, I can still rock the bag.  And, I let you in on a little secret.  I didn't pay the $400 price tag this carries ... someone was selling theirs locally NWT, so I snagged this baby for $75 bucks.  #winning

If you are a part of a FB Baby Resale group, chances are someone has something like this laying around that they are willing to sell you.

So as silly as it is, that's what I can't live without this week.  Can't live without something? Visit Steph, Laura, and Cait to share!
