11/20/2023 0 Comments Freshly pickedWe have to travel with her EpiPen, Benadryl, Prednisone, and an anti-nausea medication at all times, and I always want to keep these in a pouch. I added one of Freshly Picked’s Zip Pouches to the larger interior compartment, which holds Millie’s medicine. I love being able to find everything that I need at every moment, and this bag allows it while looking good. Lined in nylon, this bag is light (only 2.3 lbs) and just makes so much sense that I keep obsessing over it. Behind that, there is a zip pocket as well. The back slip pocket (which can fit a tablet) comes with a changing pad, and that’s what I use it for-I have a bit of a germaphobe problem and tend to want to have my own surface down when I change Millie. I typically put a sippy cup with water in one, diaper cream in the other, snacks in one, and then the additional pocket is for some of my items. There are four pouch pockets, each is big enough to fit a bottle two are on the front interior, while one is on either side. The inside is a organizational heaven: the bag is quite deep, so in the main area I always have changes of clothes for Millie and a couple toys for her. The exterior has important compartments, including a pouch pocket on either side which can fit a bottle (up to 32 oz-I use one side for Millie and the other to carry a water bottle for me), along with a front zipper pocket that is easy to access and can hold your phone and keys with plenty of room to spare. Overall dimensions are 13″ wide x 15″ high x 7″ deep, with enough room to fit tablets and laptops up to 15″ in the electronic sleeve. Oddly enough, I’m not really a backpack girl, but after a long day on my feet, carrying all of my items and Millie’s around, my back and I greatly appreciate the backpack over a shoulder or crossbody bag. While you can wear the bag three ways-as a backpack, crossbody, or a purse-I really love the backpack option. It’s lighter weight than leather would be, which is such a plus when it comes to a diaper bag, and it’s spill-resistant and wipes clean, which are both beyond important when it comes to a bag that is going to be used around children. Though the shoes are leather, this bag is a vegan leather that is really high-end (it looks like a beautiful pebbled leather) and is also very durable. This is a bag that was made for moms, by moms, and you can tell immediately when you get it. This is why I love my Freshly Picked Diaper Bag! It came at the right time and it has suited every need and then some for me and Millie. A backpack takes the weight off your one arm, is easy to take off and on, and while Vlad will carry any bag under the sun for me, most dads prefer carrying a backpack if they need to do it for longer. Last week, my mom and I took Millie to Disney for a few days and my bag needs changed again-I needed a backpack, not a shoulder bag, and I realized that every other parent was on board with that. My bag constantly reflects that-I don’t need a lot of toys or items to keep her occupied, but I also need to carry every medication she may need at all times. Millie is both the easiest child, with her overall laid back temperament, and a difficult child, with her endless food allergies and medical needs. As motherhood progresses and Millie had gotten older, my needs for my bag change almost daily. I was thrilled to see that Freshly Picked introduced a Diaper Bag last fall, and it came at the perfect time. Plus, you’ve seen them in many of my posts with Millie over the past year, and many of you have said how much you love them! So Freshly Picked has long been on my radar, and I have more shoes for Millie from the brand than I’d like to admit. Let’s be honest, anything pint-sized is pretty adorable, especially shoes. I have been obsessed with Freshly Picked shoes for years, purchasing them as gifts for my friends with kids (seriously-such a good gift, you can not go wrong), and while I know that having a baby is far more than just dressing them up, I was pretty excited about that added bonus. Before I had Millie and even before I was pregnant with her, I had a list of things I knew I would buy for my future kid.
