Stay Organized With a Mrs. Smith Diaper Bag! {Review}

Confession: One of my downfalls is organization. I’ve never been an organized person. Seriously, you should see my computer desk right now.

Imagine how having a baby impacted that – suddenly I needed a million little things (and big things) and I needed them NOW! Crying babies have a way of making you frantically scramble through your diaper bag, hoping to find that pacifier/bottle/snack in a split second. But does it happen? Not for me! I’ve had diaper bags that had to be completely up-ended and dumped out before I could find what I needed. Not fun at all.

But no more! I have finally found a diaper bag that works for me (literally) in the form of a Mrs. Smith Diaper Bag by Whoda Thought.

What makes this bag special and sets it apart from the others? It’s a hopelessly unorganized mother’s dream solution! There are no deep dark holes that you can lose stuff in, and there are actually compartments and a drawer. Yep, a smart mom finally invented a diaper bag with a drawer, and it actually works!

You can read Rachael Smith’s inspiring story here.

Check this out! 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 (smaller baby clothes, I’d say)
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

Oh, AND guess what? It can be worn as a messenger bag (over your shoulder) or a backpack! I’ve been looking for a good diaper bag that can be worn as a backpack and I’ve found it!

Seeing is believing, don’t you agree? Then check out this video review of the Mrs. Smith Diaper Bag:

I found the Mrs. Smith diaper bag to be well-made and stylish, and it helps me stay organized! My favorite features are that it transitions from a messenger bag to a backpack, and the pockets. There are pockets for cell phones, pockets for cups, a pocket for sunglasses, and more! Also a place to hook your keychain. This makes me very happy.

I should mention that it isn’t quite as roomy as I thought it would be – it’s organized, but it’s not a bottomless pit for all your stuff. It will, however, hold what your baby or toddler needs and your necessities like wallet, sunglasses, and keys. Maybe this’ll stop me from throwing things in there that don’t need to be taken with me. Believe it or not, my (previous) diaper bag has been known to hold things that are totally unneccesary and possibly… gross. This bag will definitely cut down on those occurrences.

I’ve gotta mention that I have always had two bags – a purse and a diaper bag. But now I’ll only be carrying the diaper bag when we head out. Thanks, Mrs. Smith!
