Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Backpack

I know this bag has generated a lot of buzz - and it deserves every bit of it! Following the birth of my daughter, I failed to find success and comfort with my initial diaper bag. After a few disorganzied outings and trips to the mall fumbling around with my stroller, shopping bags, the baby, and the required diapering gear, my husband bought me a Ginger Roll Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Backpack diaper bag. Total lifesaver. This bag can also be worn over the shoulder, and has a built in change pad that also velcros out for washing after stinky disasters with number 2. Bottle pockets on the inside and out, a zipper compartment and even a toggle for your keys. This diaper bag gets a 10 from Classy Mommy. $158.

Halloween Treat Bags

After paging through the latest Pottery Barn Kids catalog, these Puffy treat bags caught my eye. When I was a kid all my loot went into an old pillowcase! I think these Halloween Trick or Treat bags are are irresistable. Looks like Mackenzie will need to get styling with a Puffy treat bag to go along with her Ladybug costume this October 31st. Choose from 4 spooky styles. And the price is right at $10.50. Free shipping if you order by 10/24.

Photostamps

As I prep for Mackenzie's 1st birthday, I thought I'd give Photostamps a test run and use a personalized stamp on her party invites. What a super fun product concept. Photostamps is the ideal way to top off your envelope if you want the perfect birth announcement, birthday party invitation, or holiday greeting card.
