Mia Bossi Bags

In case you haven't noticed, I'm a researcher. Maybe its the lawyer skills applied to parenthood, there isn't one item that I have purchased without reading reviews and comparing products. When I own something its because I've put a lot of thought and research into deciding what is best for my lifestyle! 95% of the time, I'm happy with the purchase.

One purchase (well, a gift from my mom!) that I love is my Mia Bossi diaper bag (http://www.miabossi.com/). When I bought (received) it, I could only find it at online retailers. After a recent cruise through Rice Village, I saw Doodles (http://www.doodlesbaby.com/) and A Woman's Work (http://www.awomanswork.com/) had them in stock.

I had a lot of criteria for my second diaper bag purchase. My first diaper bag was the Burberry Novachek Diaper Bag (http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?cmCat=search&itemId=prod5550101). It was cute, useful, and in many ways I loved it. It came with a changing pad, an easy to wipe lining (think drippy milk cups), double straps, and interior side pockets. But I needed something a little sturdier, a bit larger, and more compartments for multi-child organization with Diaper Bag Number Two!

I fell in love with the Mia Bossi bags the minute I stumbled onto their website. Lots of great colors and sizes. Thankfully the style factor was a no-brainer! They are adorable bags! I need a diaper bag that I love. You carry it constantly, so it should be something that fits with your personal style!

I have the Maria Bag in tangerine. This a big bag, but its perfect when you are carrying two sets of diapers, wipes, a toy or two, bottles, sippy cups, snacks, you name it! On any given day, I could have anything in my Mia Bossi bag! The lining zips out which is great for cleaning it up, but it also provides some extra storage around the outside of the bag (perfect for storing an extra set of clothes for a newborn!). I love the fur-lined changing pad. There are so many pockets in this bag, I've lost count! Two exterior side pockets are great for bottles and cups. I use one of the interior pockets to store the changing pad, the opposite pocket is for "toiletries"...Tylenol, disposable diaper bags, a suction bulb, Purel, and Shout Wipes. There is an interior zip pouch which is perfect for my few personal items (who has room for much else!)...my wallet, lip gloss, gum, etc. There is a hook for your keys (I can't count the number of times I've lost my keys in a mess of diapers and snacks) and a pocket for your phone (another easy to lose item). There are two side interior pockets which are perfect for snacks. Patrick gets his snacks in one and Helen gets the other. Diapers, wipes, burp cloths, etc. just hang out in the middle of the bag.

My Mia Bossi bag is one item I can't live without!
