Diaper Bag Dilemma



We are approaching the halfway point in a couple of weeks! So I have quite the collection of baby gear  on my Pinterest board, but I'm trying to narrow it down to my top choices. Here's a little roundup of the diaper bags I like the best. I like these because they are fairly neutral. I'm not one for a big flowery or printed diaper bag. I love the shape and style of the backpack Petunia Pickle Bottom bags, and the prints are really cute, but they just aren't me, and to be honest I don't like the idea of having the same diaper bag as every other mom. 

If you have any recommendations for other bags I would love to hear! 

1 - Sausalito Tote from Pottery Barn

2 - Classic Mom Diaper Bag from Pottery Barn

3 & 4 - Messenger Bag from Ikabags via Etsy 
(these are probably my top choice- handmade in France, waterproof exterior, the only thing I don't love is the inside is a light colored canvas that will show dirt, although there are options without leather that can be washed) 

5- Boxy Backpack in Central North Stop Print from Petunia Pickle Bottom
 (probably the only one I would go for if I did a Petunia bag)

20 Weeks

I will be 20 weeks with baby #2 in just a couple of days. Baby boy #2 that is! Half way! I'm finally getting around to taking a picture of myself and writing down a little bit about this pregnancy.  It's definitely been different this time around both emotionally and physically.  Of course I have another child to attend to so I can't nap whenever I want, I felt more sick this time around and it lasted longer, and worst of all for me is the teenage acne I've developed.  I don't intend for this to be a sob story, but I've never been the girl that everyone says "You're so pretty" to and I've never been the skinny girl. But I have always had really great skin. To be honest, most of my confidence in my outward appearance is because I have my mom's skinny legs and I have clear skin and a natural tan. Well these days I literally cringe when I look in the mirror. I've NEVER had acne. I've always had the occasional breakout tha...

Another Week, Another Hike

My aunt, mom, and I headed up Holbrook Canyon last Saturday to take in more of Fall's goodness. This canyon is just above the Bountiful, Utah Temple. The last time I hiked it was ages ago, so I forgot about how long of a hike it is. I looked up the mileage online which said 8 miles up and back. Well I don't know if that's accurate or what because after we had gone what I swear was 4-5 miles, we still weren't to the top and had to turn around so we could make it back before dark. A lot of the trail is uphill and it's not a really easy hike, so maybe we were just making slower time and didn't go as far as I thought, but maybe next time we'll actually make it to the top. Even though we didn't make it, it was still worth the beautiful scenery. As we got toward the bottom as the sun was practically gone, the canyon was glowing from all the brilliant colored leaves. It was seriously magical, as cheesy as that sounds. It's a shaded hike, almos...
