The Mother of All Diaper Bags

The heavens opened up and the angels sang ahhhhhhhhh. This bag is aptly named the Mothership and it is made by Fleurville. When the ladies who threw my shower wanted to get me a diaper bag, this is the one that I chose. I just liked the pattern. "Oh a new purse", I thought. "It's a fun accessory." But when I saw it for the first time, I thought "Holy Crap, this thing is way too flippin' big, what the H-E-double toothpicks am I going to put in it?"

Well let me tell you. I am packing as we speak so Hadley and I can jump a few planes and head east to Connecticut to visit Nana and Grandpa. We are very excited, but this diaper bag has to hold everything I need on the plane including: diapers, wipes, formula, bottles, and enough food to last an entire day of traveling taking into account layovers and possible delays and cancellations; wallet, cell phone, ipod, and a magazine (I can dream right?); outfit, sweater, rattle, book, and toys to keep Hadley occupied on the plane. This bag is so full it is bursting at the seams.

It has also withstood leaky diapers, spit up, and a dog peeing on it. (Not mine.) The vinyl nature of the outer shell makes for easy cleanup. This thing is the tank of diaper bags. I give it an A+ for appearance and effort.
