Diaper bags really are annoying things. They tend to be large and bulky, and if your travels are anything like mine, a big mess. I have to take about an hour every other month to clean out my diaper bag. It's a thankless task to say the least but this time I had some new
Zizzy Bee Bags to help me keep it organized. These unique mesh bags are perfect for organizing. They come in two sizes so you don't have a lot of extra bulk and their see through mesh makes them easy to tell what is inside. My favorite use of these bags so far is that I can make one for each child. Then when we go someplace where I need them to sit quietly I can hand them their bag that has a few toys and a snack and I know they will be ok.
Another must have in my diaper bag is at least one bib. After not finding bibs that I liked for my children I finally started making my own. Our
Kerrific Bibs feature a fun flannel print on the front with wither a terry cloth or a bamboo fleece on the back. This two layer construction allows for me to use them both to keep the baby clean and then as a wash cloth to wash their face and hands once they are done eating - a must have especially when we are eating out. The size on these bibs is designed to work on both babies who are just learning to eat and toddlers who may need a little extra help staying clean. The last feature that we love is the double snap closure. No, my toddlers can't take this bib of themselves, a mommy life saver.
The last, and most obvious, must have in my diaper bag is the diapers. Right now I have a
Wonderful Bambino Diaper in my bag. I love these simple fitted diapers because they fit both of my children currently in diapers - this is a must for the diaper bag. I also love that they are soft, simple to use, and super absorbent. Wonderful Bambino makes their diapers from 100% bamboo which means when we are out and about this is a diaper that is on my side in preventing leaks and keeping my child comfortable.

I have the opportunity to tell you about lots of amazing products here at Kerrific but there are just a select few that actually make their way into everyday use in our home. HALO's SleepSack is one of those items. It is also an item that I love to give for baby showers whenever I have the chance to attend.
We all know that babies are adorable but what about when they get a little older and learn to eat solids? I know when my kids hit this stage I'm never sure whether I should laugh or cry. They are still cute but it is also a big mess! Today I want to suggest two brands that will help you keep your baby cute and cleaner.
Keeping baby safe is a difficult job for any parent. It is a challenge when they are little and gets even more difficult as they get older and are more able to do for themselves. At my house, one of the hardest battles we fight in keeping baby safe is keeping them safe from their siblings.
When we think about putting a nursery together many of us think about the obvious things, crib, changing table, dresser, blankets, paint. The things we forget about are lesser noticed items but still just as important to make sure you have handy.
The big thing that I had to make a midnight run to the store for with my first was a humidifier. It was something I hadn't even considered when buying baby items but now I'm not sure how I missed that detail. I keep a Crane Cool Mist Humidifier in each of our bedrooms because we never know when we're going to need them, oh and they are adorable! Humidifiers are very important, especially here in this Idaho desert. They help my kids by preventing bloody noses, lessening asthma attacks, and having great "smoke" for them to practice blowing during therapy to make their lungs stronger.
aden + anais makes lots of great items for newborns and small babies. My favorites are the swaddle blankets but my kids have also loved their sleeping bags and toys. The best part for me is that the swaddles are made of a natural muslin that helps reduce the risk of overheating and their signature prints keep your baby looking adorable.
