MRS. SMITH

I have been on a plane with my son Aidan more times than I can count. And every flight we’ve ever taken has been 6+ hours in the air, making it a full 12 hour day with stop overs, touch downs, and ”oops, sorry folks we have to de-ice the plane”…been there? Yea, it’s not fun when you’re travelling by yourself let alone with a newborn or toddler!! Has anyone been lucky enough to fly with a two year old and a two week old like I’ll be in a month and a half? Somebody hold me….
Rachael Smith was in my shoes two years ago, except she took the stressful {and flustering} experience of flying with her children and started brainstorming about how she could create the perfect diaper bag….and she did! The line of Mrs. Smith diaper bags are structured, ideal in size, super stylin’ for modern mamas and are convertible to an over the shoulder or to a backpack using its own shoulder strap. So smart! Among all the compartments for storing the things your kids need, there’s also designated pockets for moms that hold your keys, cell phone, sunglasses, credit cards, cash, ID and water bottle!

When I received my Mrs. Smith Diaper Bag, I was really surprised at the look of it. It’s not just a big bag that ends up being a catch-all for everything from diapers to cheese strings. It has pockets with purpose and that’s what makes it different. It’s organized, keeps everything neat and tidy and looks fantastic. It even has a drawer – yes, a drawer. This is what will save me on the plane next month. There’s enough room for Aidan’s snacks plus some baby items and snacks and drinks for myself. No more rummaging through a gigantic open pocket for everything {which drives my husband insane..he can never find anything in my purse or diaper bag}. And since I’ll have a baby strapped to my front in a carrier the option to wear as a backpack is going to be priceless in keeping me handsfree and not having to fuss with a strap that won’t stay on my shoulder.

On the site it states that the Mrs. Smith diaper bags will hold 4-5 changes of clothes, 6 diapers, two bottles and a sippy cup, snacks and toys, jars of baby food, etc., and it really does! You wouldn’t think it could based on the size alone – it’s not a huge diaper bag by any means…a massive diaper bag that could pose as a piece of luggage isn’t necessary when you have something this well thought out.

The more I think about this bag, I can’t believe that they start at $69.99. That’s unheard of with a quality diaper bag…you definitely get MORE than your money’s worth with a Mrs. Smith diaper bag. And with these color/print options…a hip mommie’s dream!
