I ordered a new diaper bag for Freya last night.

The one I purchased for her when I was only five months pregnant, while cute, is not as functional as I thought. it’s basically an open-top tote, a beach bag. It’s just one big compartment, a couple thin pouches inside, one zipper pocket, no pockets on the outside. It’s going to be used for picnics in the future I think.
So I got this awesome Ju Ju Be BFF bag, after doing some research. It cost $150.
Those who know me know that there was a time when paying $150 for a bag was laughable. Like, as in, laughably cheap. There are handbags in my closet that cost much, MUCH more than $150. But those days are gone. You wouldn’t believe how I agonized over this purchase. I even looked around for coupons to see if I could get 10% off. Oh how times have changed.
I didn’t eat dairy for a month, then I fell off the wagon, now I need to get back on. Yargh.
Tomorrow is Freya’s birthday. It’s going to be an emotional day I think.
Hey, what happened to the Jack Spade?
I carried it yesterday to a playdate and realized it is just way too small. It would be a fine work bag or something, but there’s not enough space for little bottles, change of clothes, diapers, wipes, toys, snacks, plus all my stuff. The JuJu Be bag has pockets and compartments for all that stuff 🙂
I bet the new will make a great weekender eventually too (after its days of being a baby tote are done. mom
Happy Birthday to Freya! It will be an emotional day but a very good one. 🙂
