What’s in my diaper bag? (12-18 month old)

I’m still carrying a diaper bag for outings that last more than a few hours. If it’s a short trip then I’ll just throw some diapers and wipes in my purse and go. My daughter is about to be 15 months old and still feel like I need a few items when we go out for the day. It puts me at ease knowing that I’m prepared for diaper blows outs with a change of clothes or medicine if she gets sick. 

The Bag

The diaper bag that I use is the backpack from LAND. We had a similar one before this one and it was not made as well. This one was purchased from Amazon and you can find it here. It seems like it’s much better quality and the gray color stays clean. It has nice pockets inside that are water proof and big pouches for bottles/ snacks or whatever you want. 

Ten Tips for International Travel

This is not your average travel post that tells you to buy an international outlet adapter. You likely already know that.

You are here because, like me, you tend to be an over packer or not an organized packer. I too used to pack 30 t-shirts, 4 swimsuits, no pants, ski suit and 5 pairs of wool socks. I remember the days of not having a packing list and trying to cram as much stuff into my giant suitcase for a 3 day trip. This is not realistic when traveling and in order to lighten your load, I’m going to tell you why and how you can pull off traveling for at least a week in  nothing but a carry-on, or a backpack for that matter.
