So in the quest for the perfect bag and my addiction to shopping for all things kiddo related, I found the most wonderful website!  I originally found them when I was trying to figure out where to buy my first Ju Ju Be.  Then I found them again when I realized they sold on amazon.com!!   If you know me though, a deal is one thing but having great customer service is another!

After ordering my first bag from them and through their amazon storefront, I was amazed at how fast it was shipped.  Then I joined the Pink Room (Ju Ju Be Board forum) and saw how much the other addicts praised them for their customer service also.  Well, since then I’ve ordered baby shower gifts (BeQuicks) from them and then a few small things for myself.  They didn’t have exactly what I needed on the amazon storefront so I emailed them and then later called up to get my order taken care of.  They were SO great on making a change in my order and holding it for shipping until my preorder was in.  I can’t say enough good things about them!

Not only do they carry my fave diaper bags but they carry so many cool kid products.  If only I had a money tree in the backyard to splurge on more of their stuff.

On that note, here’s a few links for ya to find yourself to them

So you know me and these mom/baby/parenting sites that I love to visit for all the greatest latest products or just talking kids stuff.   One of the sites I’ve mentioned before on here is Baby Wears Prada which is one of those fun sites.  I admit to stumbling my way there in the mornings while at work to pass a few minutes of time oggling over some of the cute stuff they have for the kiddos!  Or late at night when procrastinating going to bed and again, oggling over cute stuff!

This brings me to this next great news from them~ they are having a Ju Ju Be Giveaway and if you know me and my fascination with these bags then you can understand why I’m sending you all over there to enter!  If you want to see how cool of bags they have, come over and I’ll show you!  Honest, I think they are a lot different then the average Winnie the Pooh diaper bag.  They just make sense…organization, cute prints or solids, great material, so many styles and honestly they don’t look so diaperbagish that you can’t use them when the kids are older!  I’ve gone through my share of bags…I’m kind of an admitted bagholic (lack the funds to really go into crazybaglady status but I’m close!

With that note, wander yourself over to Baby Wears Prada and enter.  But even if you don’t want to enter, keep your eyes peeled on this site.  You might be adding it to a guilty pleasure list like I have!

(ps.  I am going to eventually make a post about things other then bags..I promise!)

I haven’t written much because I just find other things to do online instead of rambling on about things but here I am back again!

Things definitely seem busier with the 2 kiddos then just the 1!  We have a sickly home at the moment and that isn’t helping things.  Braysen stayed home with Patrick today sick and then had a doc appt.  He might have the start of an ear infection, has this horrendous cough, hoarse voice and a bit of a wheeze from it all. Merrick is snotty nosed and I have the deep nasty chest cough myself.  Patrick is going on no sleep from the past few nites and well, I live off no sleep so I’m pretty much in a permanent zombie state.

Work is work, very busy with the accreditation coming up and we are trying to get everything ready for that.  My back is still in limbo and painful but I haven’t had a chance to make it in to the chiro for 2 weeks now!  I know I need to get back but timing sucks for getting away to do that.

I did make it out Saturday to the outlets in Lincoln City to find some new work fall slacks since I’m still trying to get myself down into old sizes.  I’m only 1 size off but man is this one size some serious effort!  I know that once I get back into water aerobics / yoga that I can get it off but right now I’m stuck!  We got the boys a few things of course while out there but this trip was mainly for me….how unusual!

On another note, I won a contest on the JJB boards and got to pick out a bag!  Every week they do a “Real Mom’s Giveaway” where they have a theme to enter a story/pics/recipe or other things into.  On Sunday night they choose a winner (sometimes more than 1) and I was one of the 2 winners for last week!  I was sooo excited I ran down the hall screaming and freaked out Patrick.  He thought something was wrong with Braysen but then I told him I won a new bag!  He knows I’m a bag addict..I’ll admit that

I picked the “BePrepared” bag because I so have wanted that one but thought it was a bit out of my reach for now.  It’ll be great for weekend trips, travels, flying or just days I need more things for the kiddos.  I cannot wait to get it and I’ll make sure to get pics!

On other bag lady news…I have since last postings acquired some new ones!  I’ll do a separate post on them but basically I now own a JJB Lush Paisley BeSmart, Lush Paisley Packabe, Lush Paisley BeMine, Drip Drops BeQuick, a mix matched BeSet (I swapped with 2 other gals for different patterns in the 3 piece BeSet) and of course the my Lush Paisley Between, which was my first bag from them!!

I’ll get pics of those with that other post here in the near future!

Ok ending this post for now..I’ll update more later on the family happenings and bags!
