Piece of Me/Making My American Dream Review

When I first went shopping for a diaper bag, before we even knew Princess P was a girl, I was all about the style of the bag. At that time I was childless and had no idea that I should be shopping for the function of the bag rather than the look. Almost two years later and I am regretting the decision of purchasing the bag that fit the look of my lifestyle before baby. With the help of a certain diaper bag, I now know what it feels like to have function and style!
After many mornings of scrambling to get out the door, Mrs. Rachael Smith realized that she spent too much time worrying about the little details and not enough time focused on the essentials. It all came to a head one day when she tried to juggle the demands of her infant daughter and toddler son at the airport. While digging through her traditional diaper bag to find her sons beloved toy, Rachael accidentally spilled her daughters bottle all over the bags contents. Finally, in desperation to find his train, she emptied the entire bag into a chair. After locating the toy, she shoved everything back into the bag and hurried to board the plane. Once seated, Rachael looked at the disorganized and dripping wet bag and thought “I can do better than this!” Minutes later, she began sketching the ultimate diaper bag. Now, two years later, she proudly introduces the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag.
Mrs. Smith’s generously sent me the Pearl Diaper Bag to review. When I opened the bag up I could not believe my eyes. Is this what I had been missing all of these years? (Well, more like 1 year and 8 months.) The top part of the diaper bag is ideal for storing clothing, bottles and sippy cups, first-aid kits, diapers, rash cream and wipes. Also located in the top of the bag, in the bag’s flap, is a washable, full-sized changing pad.
But it has to be what is in the bottom of the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag that makes it so special and unique. Located in the bottom zippered compartment is a fully removable drawer for complete organization. The drawer has three-separate compartments that are perfect for formula, baby food jars, snacks, toys or anything else you might want.
Another great feature of the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag is that is it easily converts from a shoulder bag to a backpack in a few simple steps. This is perfect for hectic airports, shopping malls and park trips when you need hands-free use.

Things that fit perfect in the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag:

• 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 bottles

Overall, I think that this bag can hold a lot of stuff in an organized way. I found that the top is perfect for storing Princess P’s change of clothes, diapers, wipes and first-aid kit. While the bottom of the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag has been deemed the “Snack & Clean-up” drawer. It usually contains snacks, juice boxes, wet towelettes, bibs and hand sanitizer. The outside pockets are great for holding P’s sippy cup and my cell phone and keys. The back part of the bag is great for storing books, small toys and in our case, the mail. I do have to admit that this diaper bag is a bit bigger than our old one and would be perfect for moms of infants and moms with more than one child.
