Beautiful Affordable Diaper Bags

If you are a first-time mom, you are inundated with so many new responsibilities. And frankly, likely loaded up with a plain large amount of STUFF. Diapers, changing pads, toys galore, bottles, pacifiers, on and on I can go. You know. Diaper bags probably aren't first on your mind.

But consider this: it's easy to lose yourself completely in your new baby. But you still have a life! Yes you're tired and a bit overwhelmed, but everyone else who sees you doesn't need to know all the details and see all your oldest sweatpants and some random tote bag to haul around your baby's gear. There's a nice middle ground you can occupy, where you care about yourself and keep your self-esteem and good-looks about you, while still having full capacity to care for and love your baby and everything he or she means to you.

The Fleurville Mothership large diaper bag fits its name and is a good choice for a lot of moms. I'm fond of the Botanical Azure model with Chocolate Trim. It's got a really easy stroller attachment that makes it a snap to hook up to any type of baby stroller. It also has a thoughtful little touch of having a matching clutch, or as they call it, a wrist bag. A changing pad is part of this package, along with a cool feature that lets the bag stay open. This particular color retails for $150 but you can likely find it cheaper. I know a friend who got the Tangerine color for under $100. Diaper bags are almost addictive. Once you have one, if you're like me, you'll want another one to go with certain outfits just like some of your favorite shoes. If you have one conservative and affordable diaper bag, then you'll want one that's more like a celebrity diaper bag that's funky and bold. At least that's my fashion tendency! :)

Diaper bags that are affordable are out there. I didn't think I really needed one until so many of my friends clued me in. It becomes your purse and a great storage system for all your travel needs. Whether going down the block, running an errand or taking a longer trip, there are small diaper bags and large diaper bags that have ample pockets, cell phone holders, built-in changing pads, and much more.

There are so many hip styles now from designers like Nest, JP Lizzy, Fluerville, OiOi, Petunia Pickle Bottom, and a whole heap of others. You can find a lot for under $80. And of course you can go wild and spend $150-500+ if you desire. Now and then you will see photos or video of actors and various entertainers photographed with their celebrity diaper bags. Yes, I'm all about being beautiful on the inside, being a kind and generous person, on and on. But let's face it, some of these diaper bags look super cool and, like any good fashion, can often put a litle more spring and confidence in your step.

Take the diaper bags for a spin and see what works for you. You'll find it becomes a companion for you for a while, so enjoy it and have some fun!
