With closets full of diapers, bottles stuffed in your cupboards and toys cluttering your countertops, it’s tough to know exactly what you should have in your diaper bag. You hear phrases about how moms always need to be prepared, but how can you possibly stuff all of that gear into one little (ok, maybe it’s closer to the size of a minivan than you’d like to admit) bag? Here’s a simple checklist to help you organize and prioritize what goes into your diaper bag:
Essentials
The essentials are items that you probably want to have on you at all times, regardless of where you’re going and for how long.
-Diapers (always at least one more than you think you need)
-Wipes (Tip: Save by buying in bulk and sticking them in ziplock bags “travel” bags)
-Plastic bags
-A changing pad
-Bottles and formula
-Snacks (toddlers)
-Sippy cup (toddlers)
-Backup outfit
-Blanket
-Sunscreen
-Pacifier (maybe throw in an extra one since little nooks tend to go missing often)
-Emergency info (better yet, store important information, like doctor’s phone numbers, in your cell phone)
-Favorite toy
-Diaper rash cream
-Bib
Extras
If you have extra space (haha) or plan on being away for a full day or more, consider taking a few more items.
-Extra clothing (and really extra of everything in the essential list)
-Pain relievers
-Comfort toy for your little one to nap with
-Hat if you’re going to be out in the sun
-Hat, mittens and other winter gear if it’s chilly out
-Nail clippers
-Camera
-First-aid kit

Make your favorite Mac & Cheese recipe (or the box kind works nicely for this and the kids love it anyway ;). At the same time, throw together your normal Chili recipe (here’s a super easy chili recipe if you don’t have your own).

Since we live in the country that is open to the brunt of all the weather (wind, wind and more wind), it is super important to provide the best support to garden plants right from the beginning. There is no “one best way” to do this. I usually work with whatever I have on hand as you can see from some of the included photos.
