I think I've carried around a diaper bag for the past three years now. And luckily my bag has only gotten lighter as I have come to realize that carrying every gosh darn thing we might need around just didn't have to happen. There are five essentials that I now make sure i have with me at all times. Diapers, wipes, butt cream/balm, a changing mat and hand sanitizer. Everything else I can either leave in my car or leave at home. Every once in a while I'll throw in a change of clothes but I haven't had to change my kids clothes while we were out since they were either newborns or potty training.
Now you are probably wondering what in the heck do diaper bag essentials have to do with Halloween? Nothing, silly! But since Halloween is a holiday (and one of my favorites) I figured that presents to go along with the holiday would be amazing. I was given the opportunity to review three amazing diaper bag essentials recently and I was excited to find out that I could share each of them them with one lucky reader!
So hurry up and enter for your chance to win this awesome Diaper Bag Essentials package that includes an itti bitti change mat, Earth Mama Angel Baby angel bottom balm and Prefense hand sanitizer (ARV $34)!
