What’s In My Diaper Bag? Ju-Ju-Be Ever Wherever Weekender

August 28, 2018 in Grits for Baby

I like to think of myself as a diaper bag connoisseur; I have probably had every kind of diaper bag imaginable.

However, what I haven’t had is a diaper bag that’s actually big enough to hold everything that I am looking for and be stylish (or at least easy on the eyes) at the same time.

It’s almost as if companies have decided that once you become a mom, you don’t want a cute and simple bag to carry around.

I was so happy when I found out about the Ju-Ju-Be Ever Collection that was recently released. The bag that I opted to get from this new collection was the Wherever Weekender. This bag is actually big enough to double as my hospital bag when I have a baby, which is a major plus for me!

The bag, while pretty big, is a great fit for me, as I have two other small children who are three and five, that I still carry items for. And with knowing how much stuff baby needs, there is no way a regular size bag would do for us!

The Wherever Weekender is the largest bag in our Ever Collection. This uniquely shaped satchel boasts a removeable messenger strap as well as tote straps for multiple carrying options. Packing is a breeze with the wide zippered opening leading to the roomy main compartment. The front pocket is the perfect place to safeguard your wallet, keys, lipstick and passport. Wherever you are headed, our weekender is your perfect traveling partner!

The bag does come with a changing pad, however, I did add the Ju Ju Be Fuel Cell in Sakura Swirl as a place to store a couple of bottles or bags of pumped milk while we are out and about.

Want to see what I have in my diaper bag for the new baby? Check out the photos below!

    This is the bag I def would have wanted with both of my kids now 10 and 3. Although I still keep a bigger bag for my 3 year old- more like a backpack. The older he gets I’m getting closer and closer to a “normal” purse. But I love the color of this one you have here. You can dress it up for sure and I’m sure no one would know what treasures are really inside.

    I love seeing what others carry in their bags! I’m not a diaper bag kind of girl (I don’t believe babies need a whole bag of items haha) so I just toss what our daughter needs into my purse and call it good haha But this bag is so cute!! I’d love to have it as a weekend bag kind of thing! It would be perfect for traveling with her!

Over the last two weeks I have been stretched in s Over the last two weeks I have been stretched in so many different directions.  But the one thing that has brought joy to my heart was seeing my children enjoy being kids and forgetting the grief that was in their hearts for a few moments.⠀
⠀
The kids and I got to experience a true Chicago winter. We hated it. 🥴 As a southerner, my mind and body are not equipped to handle 16 degree weather. ⠀

#AD - 2021 is the year of me. One way I am doing t #AD - 2021 is the year of me. One way I am doing this is by making sure that I am more intentional about my time. As I seek to reclaim my time, one way I am doing so is by spending more time with myself for self-care, comfort, and wellness. One thing that I love to do is to sit with a nice hot cup of @BigelowTea from @Target, which is perfect for this January since it's Hot Tea Month!

My morning tea time consists of the Bigelow® Constant Comment Black Tea flavored with orange rind and sweet spice, and my nightly tea is Bigelow® Lavender Chamomile Herbal Tea. Both taste amazing and leave me feeling refreshed and balanced and ready to conquer whatever comes next! Bigelow® Tea is my #1 choice of tea.

Do you have a favorite hot tea? Tell me about it below! Every cup counts! #TeaProudly #BigelowHugInAMug

Joy is you at the deepest level, and your joy is o Joy is you at the deepest level, and your joy is one with the infinite timeless joy of this unbound universe.-Robert Ellwood⠀

I have taken a long hard look at what will bring me joy in this season of my life. With everything that has come to pass two things have stood out to me as being most important; being intentional and being present.⠀
⠀
By being intentional, this means that everything I do has to serve a purpose. Just as I want to keep only things and people in my life who serve a greater good, I want to ensure that I everything I am doing serves a greater good as well.⠀
⠀
Being present means exactly what it says. Live in the moment and stop worrying about “next”. This is a major fault of mine, but I am realizing more and more how important this is in order to maintain a higher quality of life. ⠀

How are you working to be present and intentional in your daily living. #graceupongrace #blackchristianinfluencers #soulsreconnected #familyiseverything #realmomsofinstagram #honestmoms
“If you’re going through hell, keep going.” “If you’re going through hell, keep going.”
-Winston Churchill

This is my mantra for the day and probably the next several days. My husband and I received some devastating news yesterday, and I truly don’t know how to react. 

‘Do I post? Do I take a break from social media? Should I take a day off?’
All these thoughts have been running through my head, but through tragedy, we must keep going, that’s what our lost loved ones would want. They would want us to thrive and be mentally and emotionally strong, so that’s what I’m going to do. We may be going through hell, but we will keep going.

My husband unexpectedly lost his younger brother y My husband unexpectedly lost his younger brother yesterday.⠀
⠀
Even as I type this those words are unreal. He was only 33 years of age. He was honestly my sons best friend, he and my brother are the younger cool uncles, who every kid wishes they had. My husband is my rock, and has been for nearly 12 years. Over the last 8 years I have dealt with death after death in my family and he has been there for me. This time being on the other side, I admit that I do not know what to do.⠀
⠀
We laughed with his sister who asked “when people ask what do you need, what are you supposed to say?” She’s right. None of us know what to say. Is it okay to ask for a cup of coffee, a smoothie, or just someone to vent to?⠀
⠀
My husband is not the type to express his needs. He doesn’t show anger or sadness. So trying to figure out how to support him has been hard. I know he is sick of me asking “are you okay?”, I can’t help it. To support the whole family I’m taking on quite a bit of extra duties and through all of this I have one major thing I have realized- YOU grieve how YOU want to grieve ⠀
⠀
Try not to fall prey to the belief that you have to feel a certain way or do certain things in order to feel normal. Meaning, if you feel sad, please allow the tears to come. If you are angry and you need to vent, allow yourself to safely do so as well.⠀
⠀
Even in a family, it’s important to remember that we all grieve differently and that in itself can create strain and confusion between family members and friends.⠀
⠀
I’ve spent most of the day calling funeral homes, figuring out clothes needed to dress a deceased loved one, and finding a suit for my son and husband. Now that I have a moment, I’m just watching Chris as he sleeps. Figuring out how to be there for him and my children who are hurting. There are so many things that have occurred in the last 24 hours, and maybe one day I will talk about it.⠀
⠀
But in the meantime hold your loved ones tight. ❤️❤️ #familyisforever
