It's the Little Things

I couldn't take it anymore. I have carried the same diaper bag since the day Lilly was born. I made it at a Viv Pickle party. You pick the fabric, bag, design, etc. I liked it and I carried it for 939 days in a row. It became tattered, worn, and the pockets on the inside tore apart creating one sagging uni-pocket. It felt like I was carrying a rag. I have had my eye out for a new diaper bag for quite some time. I never found anything I loved so I kept carrying the rag.

Tonight Lilly and I had a date night and went to Pizza Hut for dinner then to the Dollar Tree and Buy Buy Baby (exciting, eh?). Andy was at a party that I couldn't attend because we didn't have a babysitter so I tried to make the best out of the evening. Lilly wanted to take a Minnie Mouse sippy cup that doesn't have a stopper on the inside so liquid just pours out of the spout. We took it to Pizza Hut empty and I had milk in a good sippy cup. After Pizza Hut she put the Minnie cup in my bag with milk in it (I thought the milk was gone). It poured out all in the bag. The bag is so shredded that it has a hole in the bottom and the milk was pouring out of the hole and down my leg. That was my breaking point. We went to Buy Buy Baby (the BEST baby store) and I found a diaper bag (that I do not find attractive) on clearance for $19.99 and then an additional 30% off. I bought it out of desperation.

I came home and swapped bags and trashed the rag!!!

And I will gladly carry this bag that does not have holes and is sturdy and clean! Yay! And yes, doesn't it just say "I'M A DIAPER BAG" all over it?!
