WhodaThought Mrs.Smith’s Diaper Bag Giveaway – 2 Winners!

One day while struggling to juggle the demands of her infant daughter and toddler son at the airport, this all came to a head. As they boarded their plane, her son wanted his toy train and her daughter began crying for her bottle. While digging through her traditional diaper bag, Rachael accidentally spilled her daughter’s bottle all over the bag’s contents. Then, in desperation to find his toy train, she dumped out the bag and emptied everything out onto a chair.

Finally, locating the toy train, she shoved everything back into the bag.  Frustrated and with two children in tow, she hurried to board the plane. Once seated, she looked at the disorganized and dripping wet diaper bag and thought to herself, “I can do better than this!” Suddenly the ultimate baby bag design came to her. Minutes later, she began sketching the ideal diaper bag. Now, two years later, she proudly introduces the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag.

Review

Oh that bag needs to be organized with lots of stuffs! Read how you can organized it with them. Should every moms need to dig deep into the bag to look for keys or any small items. Angry or Frustrated when your kids cry? What is all things about?

Mrs.Smith’s Diaper Bag is the great bag to organize what your child needs and easy for moms to search each and every items that your child needs without being search disappear items and hassle free. It can also convert it to a backpack by using its own shoulder strap. This bag is unique as it has pull-out drawer, which can be taken completely out of the bag. You can use anything you want in the drawer. Great way to use for snacks and toys.  Other items such as burp cloths, formula or baby food jars are easily identified in this bag.

I am thrilled to receive a Mrs.Smith Diaper bag for review in the ultra mod brown with flower pattern.  This bag has become my most organized diaper bag to use it often whenever we go out.  I feel so comfortable with it and pick up the items that kids need it urgently. Thanks to Rachel Smith for cleverly making this unique bag for frustrated mothers to carry it with kids to move from one place to another. I am very sure most of the busy moms throw their own diaper bags and grab this unique bag when they come to know more about it.

The top compartment is perfect for clothing, two bottles and one sippy cup in their own insulated holders, two pacifiers and jars of baby food. There is also a small little zipper pouch inside to use it for changing pad. You can close a larger pocket with Velcro in the top section. It’s very great idea to close it urgently with Velcro. In the bottom section you can see a little drawer when you unzipped. A great way to store anything you need it urgently like snacks, diaper, cream, medicines etc. For washing, it can be easily taken out and put back. You can also put passport or any important notes in the back of this bag. 2 small pouch can be seen outside the bag for your keys, cell phone, sunglasses, credit cards, cash, ID and water bottle or any small items.

Another great feature is that people can’t recognize that it’s just the diaper bag and so you can use it any other items, you want for travel. Smart way to travel with this bag not just the diaper bag!

The Diary of a Poshpreneur Review

The Diaper Bag for the Posh Parent on the go!

My friends all know, I am a bag-a-holic! I am the one with the new handbag every time you see me. Being pregnant and soon to have a new baby you can bet I will be toting around a few of the hottest and chicest bags there are out there.

I received several diaper bags and to be honest, the Mrs. Smith bag is my most practical bag. I am on the go-literally I spend most of the weekend out of the house with the kids and in the summer we are rarely home. This little girl I’m carrying is going to have a lot to keep up with but also, I have a lot to lug around!

The benefits of the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag are unmatched, like the unique pull-out drawer, which can be taken completely out of the bag. In the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag, you can fit all of this:

-Two bottles and one sippy cup in their own insulated holders
-Jars of baby food
-Two pacifiers
-Lots of snacks and toys
-Four to five sets of clothing
-Wipes in a their own wipes container
-Six diapers
-A washable, full-sized changing
pad (is included!)

Mrs Smith’s Diaper Bag Review And Giveaway TWO WINNERS

A great diaper bag is a must when you have small children. You need to be able to fit all of the necessities in it, but it also has to be organized so that everything can be found quickly.

Mrs Smith’s Diaper Bags are large enough for all of your needs and provide several places to keep it all organized. The diaper bags were created when owner, Rachael Smith, struggled to dig through her diaper bag in hopes to find her son’s toy and her daughter’s bottle in an airport one day. In frustration, she ended up having to dump the whole bag out. She decided to design the “perfect diaper bag” while on the plane that day.

Whoda Thought sent me the Mrs. Smith’s Pink Polka Dots Diaper.

Not only is it absolutely adorable, but the design ensures that everything that you pack is available without having to search. A full sized, washable changing pad is included with the diaper bag as well as a pull out tray for snacks or toys. The diaper bag can even be converted into a back pack. Simply unhook the messenger strap and remove the shoulder pad. Thread the strap through the loop behind documents pouch. Attach hooks to the D-clips at the bottom of the back of the bag and size accordingly.

How to organize the bag is up to you. There are plenty of pockets up top and on the sides so that you can arrange items in a way that makes the most sense. They recommend that you place clothing, bottles, sippy cups, pacifiers, band-aids, diapers and diaper cream in the top portion. After a little trial and error, that is mostly what I keep in the top of my diaper bag. I also keep my wallet, a camera, an extra burp cloth, and bib up there for easy access. I put my cell phone, keys, water bottle, and sippy cups in the pockets that are around the outside of the bag.

The bottom zips open to reveal a pull out drawer with dividers. Isabella is just starting to eat baby food, so soon I will be storing jars and spoons in there as well. Right now I keep extra bows, shoes, diaper rash ointment, infant Tylenol, and a few toys in the drawer because I often forget to grab them before I leave home.

I emptied out everything in the diaper bag so that you could see how much it holds. It’s hard to tell, but the toys are sitting on diapers, the container with baby cereal is sitting on top of my wallet and checkbook. A pair of Evan’s jeans are also underneath Isabella’s clothes in this picture.

Here it is all back in the bag and I even have extra room for more things. You can also see the changing pad that is rolled up at the top of the bag that I forgot to put in the picture above.

Dexter’s Super Savvy Mommy Review

Friday, January 8, 2010

Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag Review and GIVEAWAY!

It is no secret that I am an on-the-go Mama. I am constantly running out the door only to have forgotten to restock Dexter’s diaper bag! Grrrr…. I think I may have found the PERFECT solution to this problem, Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bags!

I was lucky enough to review their Copper Diaper Bag and let me tell you how pretty she is! Wow, what a stunner!

Before I tell you what I love most about the bag, let me tell you what Mrs. Smith says about the bag herself:

The benefits of the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag are unmatched, like the unique pull-out drawer, which can be taken completely out of the bag. In the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag, you can fit:
Two bottles and one sippy cup in their own insulated holders
Jars of baby food
Two pacifiers
Lots of snacks and toys
Four to five sets of clothing
Wipes in a their own wipes container
Six diapers
A washable, full-sized changing
pad (is included!)
And dedicated places for your keys, cell phone, sunglasses, credit cards, cash, ID
and water bottle

And you can access all of these items easily! The Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag converts to a backpack by using its own shoulder strap. It’s designed with style and flare, and keeps you organized. The Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag also comes in black for those who also love to be organized, but don’t do pink!

When the bag first arrived I loved how shiny and chic it looked. It is quite large in size so it wouldn’t necessarily be the perfect bag for the quick trip to the store but if you have more than one baby it is a MUST! That is the only drawback that I found to this bag.

What else do I love about it? When you first open it up there is a large open space (for extra clothes, diapers etc) that is surrounded by fitted pockets that easily accommodate baby bottles and sippy cups alike. This means that once you open it, there is no fishing around with one hand to find what you need most–the bottle! Underneath the flap of the top is where the changing pad is kept. It reminds me of a rolled up little yoga mat–too cute!

Something unique…..the bottom of the bag has a pull out drawer!! Talk about organized. It holds my EcoStore USA Nappy Balm, Wipes, Teething Tablets, fruit snacks and practically anything else I would like to shove in there! I like that it sits upright so that I don’t have to lay on top of Dexter to wrangle him while searching in the bag! Its lovely. There are also nice, convenient side pockets for sunglasses and your cell phone. The only thing that this bag didn’t do for me was babysit!!

Mrs. Smiths Diaper Bag Review & Giveaway

Mrs. Smith diaper bags are the new must have bag these days! Now I know why, I have many times had to empty my entire diaper bag to find my keys or that stinkin paci that always seem to get lost. Mrs. Smith Bags organizes everything neatly & puts my OCD mind at ease!

It all began when Mrs. Rachael Smith after many mornings scrambling out the door with her children, realized she spent too much time worrying about the little details (keys, change of clothes, snacks, etc…) and not enough time focused on the essentials.

One day while struggling to juggle the demands of her infant daughter and toddler son at the airport, this all came to a head.

Minutes later, she began sketching the ideal diaper bag. Now, two years later, she proudly introduces the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag.

I needed a new diaper bag for Dot & what’s more girly than these pretty flowers! I was so excited when I received this bag to review. It’s big enough to hold everything yet not too bulky & you can use it as a back pack which really comes in handy especially with babywearing!

I LOVE the drawer feature! It keeps everything organized & not squished. It’s perfect for snacks, toys, hairbows, etc.

As you can see it fits absolutely everything I need for Dot in it. As I said before I am loving this diaper bag & all of its functions!

Blogalogues Review

Mrs. Smith’s Bags – You won’t believe your eyes.

I ramble through blogs, contests, reviews and I Google products that I like and about half of the time I find something that just really puts me over the edge.  When I gathered items for my 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways though, I was so lucky.  Around every corner was someone generous enough to give away items and in most cases they were generous enough to let review the product as well.

And, that’s how I connected with Mrs. Smith’s Bags.  I can show the photos and you will be amazed……I can tell you about the great quality of the bags but I don’t know if I would ever find the best adjectives to describe them…but I’m going to do both.

First of all, my favorite bag is the one I received to review.  This bag is gorgeous ya’ll (in my best southern drawl).

We looked this baby over good.  We stuffed it full of the kid’s stuff and we tossed it around, durable isn’t a question.  The part I like…it doesn’t look like a diaper bag at all.  And, since I have 2 boys that are 5 and 6, they still have stuff that we need to haul around but generally they aren’t too happy with with me giving them little purses or bags I’ve picked up at conferences.  My six-year-old even called it a “boy-bag” (and I have no idea where he heard that).

Here’s a list of specs on the bag but trust me, until you’ve touched one, you just can’t imagine…

The benefits of the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag are unmatched, like the unique pull-out drawer, which can be taken completely out of the bag. In the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag, you can fit:

• Two bottles and one sippy cup in their own insulated holders
• Jars of baby food
• Two pacifiers
• Lots of snacks and toys
• Four to five sets of clothing
• Wipes in a their own wipes container
• Six diapers
• A washable, full-sized changing
  pad (is included!)
• And dedicated places for your keys, cell phone, sunglasses, credit cards, cash, ID
  and water bottle

For us, we put 4 Capri Suns in the insulated part.  A large bag of nacho chips and a half-eaten bag of cheese puffs.  We still carry around wipes and we use the big containers.  With boys, there is no such thing as the travel size.

And then, the best part…..in put the entire contents of my own purse (which I tend to gather and end up hauling around a huge purse anyway) and then my sunglasses, some medication (Benadryl, Tylenol) and I put one bottle of water in the bag and stashed some powder Propels so I could mix more water later.

Yea, see, I told you, there’s just not enough words for me to describe it.

Let me just say that the winner of this bag truly got an amazing bag and me?  Well, I did too!  You can find Mrs. Smith’s Bags on her website and she doesn’t disappoint.

Simply Stacie Review

Mrs. Smith Review & Giveaway

If you are like me you have tried A LOT of diaper bags since your kids have arrived. I had one for the newborn stage when I all I needed was a bag for a few diapers, blanket and wipes due to nursing. Then we had the older baby bag when things got bigger and you brought toys and bottles and extra clothes and baby food. Then the toddler diaper bag full of crayons and doodle pads and change of clothes and underwear and sippy cups and snacks (we used a back pack for this stage). Then we had a beach bag, a church bag, a grandparent bag, and a road trip bag. All had there own very useful compartments for that particualr event. But having half a dozen bags laying around the house was too much for me and transferring from bag to bag was a pain.

Then came the Mrs. Smiths Diaper bag and out went the six other bags we had for day to day. It had a sippy cup holder, a key hook, a padded sunglasses holder, an inulated pull-out drawer for snacks and toys, a cell phone holder and a place for clothing, creams, bandaids and more. All in there their own place and easily recovered when needed. It was the perfect size for day to day and I could throw in some crayons and a coloring book for when we nedded it for church or extra activites for road trips. Not to mention it’s beautiful pattern. It also includes a washable change pad, an insulated bottle holder and it converts to a backpack. Great for days at the park or a festival.

Check out www.mrssmithsbags.com for prices and places to purchase. A must have and an excellent gift.

Mrs Smith Diaper Bag Review and Giveaway Ends January 14, 2010

Mrs. Rachael Smith after many mornings scrambling out the door with her children, realized she spent too much time worrying about the little details (keys, change of clothes, snacks, etc…) and not enough time focused on the essentials.   Rachael struggling to manage the demands of her 2-year old son and 6-month old daughter realized her current diaper bag was just not cutting it so with some innovation and a little planning she designed a diaper bag with easy access, more efficient storage and versatility. Now, two years later, she proudly introduces the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag.

With having 4 children and 3 being under 9 I find myself currently toting a few backpacks just to make sure I cover all the bare necessities from a change of clothes, receiving blankets, and snacks for the older children. My older style diaper bag has seen better days and just does not hold the things I need. I also have to admit that as a mom I like chic and my current bag didn’t even have a working zipper left on it a year in.  When I was given the opportunity to review a diaper bag from the company Whoda Thought, I was totally on board. I have entered a few giveaways on other blogs trying to win one of these babies so this was awesome to get sent one for review.
I was sent a Mrs Smith Diaper Bag in Pink Camouflage for review.

Its fun, in-style and a great upgrade for me   I mean I was really getting tired my current situation.  I am not very organized lets say so for me to have the room to organize makes my life a lot easier.

The overall functionality and use of this bag is unbelievable.

Its converts to a backpack very easily. Which I really like but if your a fan of the other way go for it. It holds everything.. and I  mean everything. I cloth diaper and I was able to hold all the diapers I need for the day easily. I really like the extra large flap that the bag has as it makes stuffing it a lot easier.  The handy change table attached also a bonus, as it is hidden in the upper flap. The Drawer a totally smart idea , it makes the bag firm and solid. This is a great addition as it keeps your baby food jars, snacks, and fruit! from spilling everywhere and separated from your diapers.
The benefits of the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag are unmatched, like the unique pull-
