Bag Issues

I am really proud of myself.  For years I bought bags/purses for every season.  For the last I don't know how long I have been using a good ol' fashion black LeSportsac which is really the bee's knees.  And I did have a great diaper bag I used just about three years ago.  But I do love my LeSportsac. 

But since the new baby is  appearing soon I have been on the lookout for a well priced diaper-ish bag.  You know I don't want it to look so much like a diaper bag.  I want it to be super useful but not super bulky.  I want a good price.  I want it to be use/abuse friendly.  Tall order.  I am now on the lookout. 

I saw a gal with this bag yesterday and I l.o.v.e it.  The gal carrying it gave it great reviews. 

And I like the look of these bags from Skip Hop:

This Reese Li bag is looking good:

Or this bag by OiOI

But I found this great bag at Target today.  I have been a big consumer of the Liberty of London goodness that is there, especially for my 5 year old. And today I came across this bag.  I thought I should probably snatch it up while I could and decide later but I think it could make a great diaper bag.  I am not quite sold on the pattern, there have been many other Liberty patterns I have loved far more, but for $20 it is by far the best on my LeSportsac residing wallet. 

Do you have a diaper bag that you can't/couldn't live without?

Window Shopping

I love to window shop. No, I love to shop, but window shopping is fun because, frankly, I can't fit it all in my house.

I sooo want a bee skep. My neighbor has one and my eyes just look and look. Enter Farmhouse Wares. Although I am not a country style gal but am an admirer of some country looking things. And every so often I even want to live on a farm. With a lot of farm help.


I love this chair from inmod. I want to sit in it and move it from room to room.


At some point I want my own nook. I want legroom, I want organized storage space (that I can't un-organize!), I want a large basin for cleaning paint brushes, stained clothing, and in one corner a lovely, little correspondence desk. I love this one I found at Maine Cottage.

The forecast is looking up. We have had fantastic cloud formations that have given us plenty of moisture but I am ready for the warm sun on my face. The kids love to be outside and I am always looking for games that are outdoor and kid friendly. I think I found it at Lee Valley.


enough lusting for now.
