Diaper bag essentials

This post has been sponsored by Dr. Brown’s though all opinions are my own.

I’m a mom on-the-go, and aren’t we all? If it wasn’t for my bag, I would probably lose my mind. I work out of the home part-time, so between leaving my house, going to my mom’s, going to work, running errands on my way home from work, trips to the park, and everywhere we go in between, I like to be prepared.

And by ‘like,’ I mean ‘need,’ because when you have kiddos, their needs are priority, often urgent, and can make the difference between a total melt down and a successful day out.

I broke down the major diaper bag essentials every parent needs in their bag along with some tips for organization and not overdoing it.

Create & learn with LeapBuilders® Fruit Fun Elephant

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of LeapFrog Enterprises, Inc. 

When it comes to my family’s favorite toys, LeapFrog has always been a fam fave – my kiddos always love how engaging and fun they are, and I love that they keep them entertained and are actually educational! Our new LeapFrog® LeapBuilders® Fruit Fun ElephantTM is no different.

Geared at ages 2 and up, our fun little learning elephant entertains all of our kids (6 months, 2.5, and 4-years-old). As I sat reading the instructions upon opening (bonus that there’s no difficult packaging – HUGE score), my kids quickly got to playing – no instructions needed.

Here’s the lowdown: this 21-piece set comes with simple to grab building blocks; the double-sided learning blocks, featuring animals and fruit, fit into the interactive Smart StarTM that plays sounds and words that matches the blocks. Lights, music, building, learning, what more could you want in a toy?

How to instantly connect with moms on-the-go

This post is sponsored by PeckApp – all opinions and experiences are my own!

Searching phone contacts:
– Isla’s mom
– Park mom red shirt
– Hailey (?) school picnic

Do any other moms have random entries in their contact lists like I do? It happens all the time – you’re out and about at the park, library, or school function – you watch your kids play so sweet with the other kids and even strike up a friendly conversation with the mom. You briefly exchange names during your pleasantries, but of course, you forget – or maybe you know a first name, but is that enough to stalk find her on social media so you can connect?

Enter every mom’s new best friend – PeckApp. PeckApp is a way to share contact information, from your phone number and email to social channels and Venmo, in one simple app.
