Go GaGa Bags: Functional and Stylish

A good bag is hard to find... you know it's true, especially if you are a mom! With all of the diaper bags available, you can get lost in a sea of confusion over which choice would be the right one for your life. Well ladies, I can say that I have found one of the best!

Go GaGa Bags were designed with you (and your husband) in mind. Not only do th

ese bags look fashionable and stylish, but they also WORK! THANK YOU! How many times will you find a diaper bag that allows YOU a place to put your water bottle and not just baby bottles? Where else are you going to find a diaper bag that will also function as your laptop bag, gym bag, brief case, or purse after your baby is out of diapers? There are just not that many! Not to mention, other bags dig into your shoulders once you have all of your gear loaded causing you more frustration and tension. You really have to see this bag in action to believe it!

See it in Action:

I had the opportunity to try out The Messenger in Copper by Go GaGa. This bag is the new rele

ase by the company. It also comes in Olive, Black, Cayenne, (Eggplant and Sea Blue are made from recycled materials).

I love how much room this bag offers! The inside has many divided sections that are roomy enough for a stack of diapers, textbooks, or change of cloths! You can even adjust the middle divider if you would like MORE room! There are two fully insulated side pockets that are long enough for a full sized water bottle!

The front pocket is great for your keys or anything you need to access quickly because it is not covered even when The Messenger is closed. The back offers a changing pad and has enough room to host a laptop! There are also stroller straps that could also function to hold your yoga mat! The best part about this completely functional bag is the strap! The patented ergonomic strap distributes the weight of the bag across your back!

This bag is also extremely sturdy! The base is made from foam that keeps it sitting up right when placed on a flat surface. But don't just take my word for it...ask my doctor. I had to make a trip to the doctor's office and had this bag with me. The first thing he said when he entered the room was, "What a great bag!" as he rushed over to touch it! I explained to him that it was a diaper bag and he looked confused and said, "Really? Well it is extremely well made!"

Go GaGa also offers two more styles: The Slide Tote Bag and The Gondola Bag. All three are worth a look! They range in price from $118-$128 which can seem pricey, but if you think about how many diaper bags I have been through this would save money! Sometimes the best bang for your buck is what is going to work the first time and last a LONG time!

The Bumble Collection: Boutique Diaper Bags!

If you ever look at the magazines or press you will see celebrities with all kinds of cool stuff for their babies! One of the items that I have seen has been bags from The Bumble Collection!

I LOVE bags! My husband can vouch for this! What I love more than a bag is one that is unique (not the same Vera Bradley everyone else has). Jennie Lynn Johanson has taken he

r background in handbags and fashion design and successfully applied it to the children’s industry to become the founder and president of the Bumble Collection™, a company specializing in fashion-forward diaper-bags and accessories.

The Bumble Collection bags feature exclusive “one-of-a-kind” prints, special stain resistant fabrics with unique design touches.

I had the opportunity to try out the Natalie Travel Tote Bag! I love how roomy this bag is! This is perfect for travel. The stain resistant fabric is completely soft and eye catching! There are matching stroller straps as well as a built in changing pad that you can simply zip out! It folds back up nice and neat! Of course what diaper bag would be complete without the double insulated bottle compartments! I love all of the hidden compartments and the fact that it is machine washable!

See it in Action:

The Bumble Collection also has a brand new additon! The Buzz and they bags a

re called Busy Bee Backpacks! They are a backpack, messenger, and stroller bag all in one! They also have the stain resistant fabric and the zip out changing pad. The Busy Bee also comes

with a snack bag! Not only can you open this bag from the top, but there are options on the side for easy access to your gear! There are 4 colors to choose from!
