Mrs. Smith’s is the only patented diaper bag with a pull out drawer making it the most unique bag I’ve ever reviewed….also making it one of the most functional as well. Whoda Thought that you could put so much in a bag and keep it so incredibly organized. You can kiss those days of digging goodbye!

I have read quite a few reviews on this “diaper” bag and as you know I love to take care of my readers since many of you have small children or are expecting. I no longer use baby items since my boys are older but can tell the practical needs one provides, or doesn’t.
This bag has so much space and so many spots to keep things well organized. I always hate the struggle of a new baby and all the things required for their special needs. This bag has plenty of room to fit every stage of your children life & needs!

In all the reviews I’ve read everyone shows you how they organize it for babies or small kids. I’ve read some great reviews on this bag that you can check out on the Mrs. Smiths Blog. I noticed going through them no one really shows the bag without stuff in it so I wanted to show you myself.

This bag makes so much use out of every area. What I love about this bag is that I can still use it! This is the PERFECT park bag! I can hold my keys, water bottle, phone, etc on the outside so it’s always quickly available without digging around…although there is no digging in this bag anywhere! The insides of the littlepockets are super soft making them a safe spot to store sunglasses or a touch screen phone or iPod. The back of the bag also has a pocket perfect to hold a book or some (full size) magazines! Perfect for when I sit and wait while the boys run around.

The pull out drawer is perfect for storing lunch! The large square is the perfect size for bringing sandwiches with us. Three to be exact! I can then put snacks and fruit into the side spots or fit two juice boxes perfectly in each. Best part- they don’t get squished or crushed!

The top is great for extra drinks. Once again since there are three of us, I love that there are three drink slots. I then have room for bug spray, sun lotion, first aid essentials and more. The little zippered pocket is perfect for my license and some spending money.

It comes with a changing pad as well that folds up and stores nicely in the inside top.
I love this because it makes the perfect table cloth as well! It’s big enough to change a baby on and big enough for my boys to both put their lunch on so they’re not eating on a dirty surface.
Since the pad is washable I don’t have to worry about them getting it dirty either.

Favorite feature!
Spending the day at the park or zoo is so much easier when you have both your hands! Since this bag can be easily converted into a backpack I can bring everything I need with me and not worry about juggling things. I don’t have to worry about my arms getting heavy and can enjoy the day! With the outside pockets I can easily get to what I need.

The only thing I wish they had was more pattern/color choices. I feel that most of the choices are very girly and feminine. I’d love to see some boys prints and colors. I went with the black since it was the only gender neutraltone but if I had a girl I love their pink polka dot from their Tempo Collection.

Mrs. Smith Diaper Bag: Product Review and Giveaway

While many moms have good friends, all of us know that our BEST friend is an amazing diaper bag. Especially that first year! Finding the perfect diaper bag can take a lot of work. When we are pregnant, especially with our first. We look for the cute bag. The diaper bag that doesn’t look like a diaper bag. Whether it be the print, or the brand, it can be really hard to find a great non mommy style bag. Not everyone loves Disney characters all over the bag!

The first bag I ever bought, I bought because it looked like a big cute purse. WHAT was I thinking. This bag had literally 3 pockets. One big one, and two small one. Whether you are nursing or bottle feeding we all know 3 is not nearly enough.

The second bag I had, was a giant bag that had 5 pockets. A little better, but still. Three of the pockets where massive. Lap top massive. The 2 side pockets are cell phone sizes. AGAIN. WHAT was I thinking. This bag turned out to be a great school bag but not a good diaper bag. More often than not, I was forced to dump everything out, and search for that one binky, or that one nursing pad. AHHH The memories.

The last bag I HAD was literally the free one from the hospital. I had given up on paying until I found the perfect bag. This bag was okay, I mean it had more pockets, icepacks for breastmilk, and even a cell phone pocket. It did the job. However I longed for that perfect bag.

Then one day. Out of nowhere. I come across a site. This site had the most beautiful bag I had ever come across. Literally. No exaggeration. The features were perfect. I had to have it.

The Mrs. Smith Bag has literally thought of everything.

First of all, the most amazing feature has to be the pull out drawer. As you can see the bottom half of the big, has a zipper in the front. This is where the drawer pulls out. The drawer is a complete pull out drawer. Meaning if you don’t want the drawer compartment in there and want to use the space for something else. It is totally up to you. The actual drawer is divided down the middle, one side is a full ½, the other is split again making it ¼ compartments. This drawer is a great snack drawer. In the big half I can fit one formula container, baby spoons, binkies, and 3 baby food jars. In one of the quarter compartments I fit 3 Grammy Sammy’s (graham cracker sized), 2 packs of 2 juice boxes, and 2 Mum Mums. In the other quarter I can easily fit a baggie of puffs, fiddlesticks, and colgate mini toothbrushes. That is a lot of baby food.

The Top half of the bag is a storage compartment. Although it is not deep (because of the drawer) it is much better this way. I think a diaper bag should be shorter and wider, so you can see everything when you look in. The inside is lined with insulated pockets. 3 Of them! You can easily store, baby bottles, water bottles, sippy cups, or just use them as pockets for binkies, makeup, and more.
The top container also has a wide are with velcro closure that you can easily store in diapers and wipes. Although I use cloth, I love using biodegradable diapers to travel. I can easily carry 2 shells,3 bio inserts, 2 cloth inserts and a pack of wipes. The remainder of this space, I just store a change of clothes, burp clothes, a blanket, and bibs.
The lid of the diaper bag has a small area to slide in the changing pad.
I also love that this bag has an entire section dedicated to Mommy’s. There is a water bottle holder, a sunglass holder, a cell phone holder, and another pocket for those miscellaneous items of yours.

Not only is this bag fully functional but it comes in a wide variety of patterns. I bought the zebra bag! Its feisty and rocker like me! If you like girly prints, there is a cute flower print. If you want your bag to have more of a chic look go for the high fashion black and gold prints.

I am so excited to share an amazing opportunity with you. One of my lucky readers will have a chance to win one of these great bags. The winner will receive one of the bags that the company chooses. US and Canada only giveaway! This giveaway will be open from 5/12-5/26 until 11:59PM PST

Don’t you want a bag that holds this much stuff, neatly organized.

Raising My Four Sons Review

Published on May 12th, 2010no comments

I have searched High and Low for that perfect diaper bag.
I was on a mission to find something perfect for me and my new baby.
Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bags have so much to offer.

A little about Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bags…

These bags are the most fashionable and functional diaper bag on the market. With twelve different fabrics from which to choose to meet a variety of tastes, it is the best baby shower gift for 2010. It is a chic tote bag with insulated bottle and sippy-cup holders, is adorned with metal hardware, and has an exterior with every imaginable advantage to make parents’ lives easier.

This infant and toddler bag has something much more: complete organization! Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bags are the only diaper bags on the market with a patented pull-out drawer, which is a separate, sturdy boxy compartment that comprises the bottom half of the bag and, as the name says, can be pulled out so that mom can easily grab the items that would be stuffed, spilled, and squashed at the bottom of any other diaper bag. All of their shoulder bags convert to backpack diaper bags. They are perfect shower gifts, and they even have a diaper bag for dads!


My absolute favorite part of this bag is the pull-out drawer on the bottom of the bag!

I was surprised at how much space there was in the drawer.
I have packed a few items in my new bag, but can’t wait to actually use it for the baby!
I love all of the different fabric choices as well! There are so many to choose from. However, since I don’t know the sex of my baby I was sent a neutral/black bag, which is great since it can be used for boy or girl and my hubby won’t mind carrying it.

Mom’s Best Bets Review

Published on April 2nd, 2010no comments

Whoda Thought Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag Giveaway ($99.00)

If you have children, then you know as a mom how important it is to be organized. This is especially true with babies. Moms on the go need diaper bags to hold all of their essentials. They just can never seem to be big enough, but then who wants to carry around a suitcase. I remember having issues with my diaper bags because everything just ended up on the bottom of the bag and all mixed up.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a bag where there is a place for everything and you can find them easily? A place where bottles don’t spill, keys don’t get lost, and snacks are readily available?
Well when you see Whoda Thought Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bagsyou will see an ingenious way to store all of your items in an organized and fashionable way.
They even have a drawer in their diaper bag that pulls out on the bottom and many side pockets to fit bottles and sippy cups in their own insulated holders. You can carry jars of baby food, pacifiers, snacks and toys, clothing, wipes, diapers, a changing pad, (which is included) and a place for your keys, cell phone, sunglasses, wallet, and water bottle. Can you believe all of that will be neatly stored in your oh so fashionable bag? Yes, it really will!
I think it is the best baby travel bag I have seen and it can turn into a backpack and you can go hands free! WhodaThought Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag can be bought at many stores and at Amazon.com.
WhodaThought is giving one Mom’s Best Bets reader their very own bag.
