  1. Carolyn,

    I shot you back a one liner on IG but I gotta comment here too because MAN. I appreciate hearing this. I have a just turned 5 y/o with emotional and behavioral special needs and sometimes I just swim through blogland feeling like no one “gets” my particular brand of bad day. So, so glad you shared even just a tiny bit. Would love to read the unedited version ;)

  2. I use a skip hop bag my much-more-stylish-friends got me for my birthday several years ago. It doesn’t look like a diaper bag and I get compliments on it. It is starting to fall apart at the seams. So maybe longevity/durability gets knocked a star. Also I use a reusable grocery bag as a secondary. Classy. My 4 year old has Autism too. I really like to hear what other Moms have to say/experiences, honey & stinger posts alike. I’ve been reading the blog “life with Greyson and Parker” lately. A mom who writes about life with 2 young boys with autism.

  3. Oh, Mama. When you posted that instagram the other day, I knew exactly what kind of day you were having. I have very similar days with Sonny. They can be absolutely maddening. And he’s a “biter” (when you get in his personal space or mess with whatever he is fixated on at that moment) so yeah.. You know how hair raising that looks to anyone who doesn’t understand ASD. I swore off playgrounds for a year. Anyways, I am right there in the trenches with you! Parenthood kicks my booty, but may it win us many graces and that glorious crown in the end! And may we love our boys like crazy b/c of it! PS thanks for the advice on diaper bags. I’ve had too many with each kid. Totally unnecessary.

  4. I just got a Lily Jade diaper bag with my Christmas/Birthday money. Very espensive, but I’m thinking totally worth it. It doesn’t look like a diaper bag and it’s awesome quality. Therefore, I can keep on using it once I’m out of the diapering stage (if that ever comes…) lol

  5. ive been looking and looking. I think I want one from storksak, but it’s 200$ and that’s a lot for me. But I want shoulder straps AND a cross body and I want it to be a bag I’d carry without kids. I like black. I also like grey -like, I am Thinking if I were to capsule wardrobe just one bag would that bag be the one I pick?? I’m all for small-medium even with 2 going on 3 kids. I have a bag in the car with the stuff and I’m about to use thirty-one zip bags to organize diapers, wipes, and extra clothes for each kid. Can you tell my brain has been thinking about this a lot lately???

    1. Ohh just checked out the site. These are nice! I love that they don’t have the diaper bag look exactly. And they look nice not cheap.

      1. I wondered ;). Thank you!
        My mom loves her Louis Vuitton purses. She’s quite thrifty except for her bags. I had never been a fan and they are waaaay outta my price range. But … I really liked the neverfull pm in the Daimer style. I borrowed a friends and I loved it. However I will never spend a thousand dollars on a bag. I bought a replica (gasp). I really like the bag, even though I feel a little out of place carrying the brand. Like the rest of me doesn’t fit the LV style – by rest of me I mean my unwashed hair, chipping fingernail polish and slovenly dressed self- but I love the bag. Pursevally.ca if your interested. I followed a blogger and they had the best reviews for LVs. It was only 155 instead of 1000.00!
