Of all the research I made for preparing for motherhood, I forgot to research about choosing a diaper bag. So I just bought a generic Gerber diaper bag worth $14.99. I chose it for the price, the shape (it can stand on its own) and of course, the color - it matches my son's stroller and car seat set. Haha!
On my son's 3rd month, I already started to notice tears on the Gerber bag. As my husband would always remind me... better buy a more costly one that will last you for a long time. Of course he's right. I didn't realize that you wouldn't have an extra hand to hold your own purse once baby is there. You have the stroller, the diaper bag, the car seat, and of course the baby to take care of. So it was about time to find a fancy, fashionable, and functional diaper bag slash purse.
I started researching about the best rated diaper bags and JJ Cole was one of the top rated. I have been looking for a satchel type bag that will look nice as a Mommy Purse and a Diaper Bag in one. Something I can carry or strap onto the stroller.
I love the designs from Gucci (hello?! $900!!!), Tory Burch (maybe wait for one that is 80% off then I can afford it! haha!), and the one from Coach (yes, a little more saving and I can afford one that is on sale).
But nothing beats the practicality, the design, and the price of JJ Cole's satchels. It is perfect for what I need!!! I LOVE IT! I can't wait to use it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! :)

| What's in the box: The lovely bag, the 'manual', the long and soft shoulder straps, and the patented "Grips" to functionally attach the bag to the stroller. |

Thanks for appreciating my mommy bag. Pangarap kong maging hot fashionista momma pero ang hirap eh. TSAKA ANG GASTOS!!! It's a matter of a battle with guilt lagi, ung pagbili ng mga bagay for yourself when you know you can use the money to buy baby's stuff. :D
