Timi & Leslie Diaper Bag #Review & #Giveaway

May 23, 2013 by Christa 4 Comments

I have this thing for purses. I love them. I could seriously buy a new one every week. I pretty much never carry around a “diaper bag” for that exact reason. I love my PURSES far too much to carry around a diaper bag. But then I came across Timi & Leslie and I immediately wanted THEIR diaper bag. Not just any diaper bag but theirs because they’re diaper bags don’t look like diaper bags! They look like super cute purses. I immediately fell in love with the Sophia in Aqua Blue & Rust.

I loved that it looked like it could fit a ton of things. I carry everything but the Kitchen sink in my bags so a big bag is really important to me.

This bag comes with all sorts of accessories.

A cross body, adjustable detachable strap so you can wear it hands free whenever you need to
Changing pad with a front mesh pocket for storing your diapers, wipes and creams so when you need to make a quick diaper change trip all you have to do is grab the changing pad and go!
A zippered sac to put away soiled clothes
A clutch that you can use as your purse with interior credit card slots and an inside zipper pocket
An insulated bottle tote to keep your baby’s bottles warm or cool
Matching stroller straps so you can hang your bag from your stroller

This bag has three large pockets as well as a small outside zipper pocket and a front pocket. Inside the three large pockets you will also find a zippered pocket on the left side pocket, two bottle holder type compartments in the middle pocket and the third pocket has two small and one large pocket that buttons closed. Check it out.

I love how much I’m able to fit inside of it. Right now I have

All the accessories listed above (except for the bottle holder since we EBF)
Two full outfit changes for Kyla
Extra Pair of Undies for Mason
6 Size 1 Diapers for Kyla
Wipes
My dSLR
A small notebook for jotting down notes
Various papers that I need
Hand Sanitizer
Deodorant–stupid post baby hormones make me smelly

When I leave the house I always add

My phone
snacks for Mason
water bottle
My Kindle

I can’t even begin to express to you how many times I’ve gotten compliments on this bag. So many people are surprised to find out that it’s my diaper bag since it looks so much like a purse! They’re stylish but have all the functionality you need from a diaper bag. It’s a win win.

You can Purchase Timi and Leslie bags on their Website and on Amazon

Prices range from 149.99-179.99

Mason Update

May 22, 2013 by Christa 2 Comments

My sweet little Mason. Every time I look at him I can’t help but think that not too long ago he was the size of Kyla but now it seems as if he’s all grown up.

For instance, where as I used to decide what hair cut he received this last time he decided and he wanted a mohawk. Luckily I still have some control and we went with a fauxhawk.

He looks so freaking cute with it, I can hardly stand it! We’ve been spending a lot of time at the park lately! It’s perfect for getting some energy out and letting him interact with other kids his age!

I bet he’d make more friends if I wasn’t following him around with my camera

This face right here is a classic Mason face. It’s his “I’m about to do something I shouldn’t do face” like run off when I know you’re trying to take a picture of me. I love that face.

Mason has a certain way he likes to do things and it cracks me up. Whenever it’s appropriate I let him do what he pleases. While at the park he showed me how to drink from the water fountain

Have I mentioned how much I love that face?

I must say. Three has been challenging for me. It continues to be challenging for me but there are so many moments with him every single day that fill my heart to the brim.

The Sweetest Place on Earth

May 20, 2013 by Christa 2 Comments

Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Hershey Entertainment and Resorts. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

Every couple of months I make a trip to New York, it’s a six hour drive with TWO kids and OH my can that trip be challenging! Every trip I long for my parents door step but before that I long for a reprieve, at The Sweetest Place on Earth.

Hershey, PA is pretty much the exact middle point between my house in VA and my parents house in NY. So every single time I drive to NY I stop in Hershey, PA for nice little break from driving and if some fresh Hershey Chocolate makes it into my hands then so be it!

This Summer we plan to meet my family in Hershey so that we can have a fun weekend together without one of us having to drive six hours in one direction! We’re going so we can visit Hersheypark, it has 65 rides and attractions!

And you can even meet your favorite candy! For me it’s Reese’s!

For me though I really love Chocolate World and going to the store after where you can get pretty much any Hershey candy you love in pretty much any size and quantity.

I was surprised to find out that Hershey isn’t just about Hersheypark. There is SO much more to Hershey. It has a huge arena where all sorts of events happen. My sisters where just there for a huge Cheerleading competition. It was actually where they were as Kyla was being born! So for them Hershey will always be the place they were when they found out Kyla was born, how cool is that? The Sweetest Place on Earth for the Sweetest News!

Hershey also boasts a Zoo, Hershey Camping Resort and The Hotel Hershey which has a Chocolate Spa! It’s the perfect destination for everyone in your family. You can stay at the Camping resort to appease Dad’s idea of a vacation but still get the kids excited with Hersheypark and Mom more than willing to go with a day trip to the Chocolate Spa.

Here is the list of all the fun events going on in Hershey this summer, plan your vacation around your favorite one and enjoy all that Hershey has to offer!

If my sister has anything to say about it we’ll be planning our trip to Hershey when One Direction will be there. Thinking of all there is too do in Hershey makes me so excited to meet my family there this summer, I love that my kids will grow up going there!
