I like to be prepared … Actually, I just like items that help make preparedness possible. I am such a rattle head random woman that if I don’t have a designated satchel for all that stuff that somehow floats to anywhere and everywhere between the house and car I will lose my loose marbles and my husband won’t even know where to begin finding them …

This blogger mom might be kind of like me – I love reading her lighthearted down to earth posts – and she just shared her recommendation for a handy-dandy mom satchel (aka diaper bag) that is way outside of my price-range, mind you, and also not my preferred style. But her giveaway post prompted me to share with you, mom friends, what satchel products I’ve been looking for …

Of course, like any woman with loose marbles trying to be properly prepared, I use Pinterest. I’ve pinned a few diaperish bags that have appealing functional designs and reasonable prices.

My favorite is designed by a French family company called ikabags via Etsy – https://www.etsy.com/listing/184383225/unisex-waxed-canvas-messenger-bag-tote

Here’s a nifty industrial type carrier that I found via Amazon – http://http://www.amazon.com/Skip-Hop-Bento-Diaper-Olive/dp/B0047EH0H6/?qid=1401147116&s=baby-products&sr=1-12&keywords=skip+hop+diaper+bag&ie=UTF8&ref=sr_1_12

Someone I know recommended this satchel carrier which has worked great for her – http://http://www.amazon.com/Ju-Ju-Be-Messenger-Insulated-Pockets-Zippered/dp/B00I0OZBFM/?qid=1401146477&s=baby-products&sr=1-8&keywords=ju+ju+be+diaper+bag&ie=UTF8&ref=sr_1_8

Since preparedness appeals to me, I pretty much know what I like and why. But, I’ve never had to do this mom diaper diaries thing before, so help me out if you have better suggestions for satchels ‘n stuff …
