A few weeks ago, I travelled (ALL BY MYSELF!) to St. Louis for a Babylock convention (more on that later). I only took a carry-on suitcase and my regular purse, thinking I could just hold my books, and snacks while everything that I needed/wanted to use on the plane would fit in my purse. Turns out, not such a good idea. Idea fail. X
I like to keep my purses on the smaller side, but found that while my shoulder thanks me on a day-to-day basis, it did NOT work for my traveling self. Both the plane ride there and back, I wished I had something bigger, but not as big as my carry-on suitcase, you know, that perfect Goldie Locks middle size. Imagine my pleased amusement when I returned to find an email from The Baby Cubby people. Initially, I thought nothing of it, since I no longer have a baby (boo hoo!), thus I no longer carry a diaper bag, but as I was looking through their bags, I thought, these don't even LOOK like diaper bags! I stumbled upon this one, the Ju Ju Be, and knew I needed it. Black and white with pockets all over.With about a million kajillion pockets and compartments, there's a place for everything. So. It came in the mail, and JUST before our family reunion to CA (more on THAT later, too). I was so excited to give it a legit test. We had two flights to get there and I brought this stuffed full of plane treats, books, you name it, it was in there to get us through. Turns out: It was THE perfect size. It fit right under the seat in front of me, so I didn't have to store it in the overhead compartments, and it held everything I wanted at my fingertips.
But, Baby Cubby's awesomeness doesn't stop at bags (seriously, there are some cuter than most purses out there). They have toys:
the most beautiful baby gear (almost beautiful enough to consider having another baby...maybe grandkids? ;),
and even more beautiful-ness.
So! I am giving away a $50 gift certificate to one of you lucky people! All you have to do is leave a comment. What would you get? And if you're the kind of person that likes to up your odds, you can sign up for their newsletter and come back here to comment you did so for an additional entry. Easy peasy. Meanwhile, this Ju Ju Be and are will be planning more travels just because. Good luck!
I know what you mean on the whole purse/bag traveling thing. I usually have my diaper bag and then a backpack I switch to for events...but I am constantly juggling back and forth! ahh! :) I would totally love a new bag, but that's probably not in the budget (nor practical since my youngest is 1.5 and who knows if there are more coming later). I did find the skip hop zoo kid backpacks that I've totally eyed for a long time. My kiddos would each love one! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI just had baby #6 so this would be perfect! I think I would get the Noah's Ark bedding.
ReplyDeleteOh!! I would buy another JuJuBe - I have been a huge fan for 8 years and those bags last forever.

ReplyDeleteYes please! I'm a sucker for purses so I'd have to get a bag. It's one of my goals in life to have a bag like in the movie, One Fine Day, where she is able to pull something out of her purse and overcome all the obstacles for the day.

ReplyDeleteI'm loving that black and white striped ju ju be bag, but I would probably let my sis in law pick something for her first baby.
ReplyDeleteI would get one of their bags, it would be perfect for me to use as a purse. Or I could be nice and let my daughter pick something for the new little one on the way. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd buy the adorable Tea Collection Pompelmo Baby Pajamas - Sunrise and maybe a few accessories like socks.
ReplyDeleteI subscribed by email.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE big bags! I carry one that I made that is meant to be a diaper bag, and my kids are 10 and 16...and the bag is showing signs that I use it all the time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway!
I'd have to buy a few sets of Tegu magnetic wooden blocks! So fun. Thank you!
ReplyDelete4 kids and lots of international flights, this bag would be perfect. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNew Grandbaby in 4 weeks....or less! That diaper bag would be super.
ReplyDeleteThat leather diaper bag is pretty beautiful. I'm at the beginning of my childbearing years and I have a feeling this would be pretty perfect for our family!
ReplyDeleteThe bag is pretty amazing.
ReplyDeleteBaby bedding!
ReplyDeleteWe just had our third and my husband always empties the diaper bag into a backpack when he goes out because my bag us to girly. So a good diaper bag he can handle too.
ReplyDeleteI'll be a first timer gramma this January, I should probably let mom and dad pick, though
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have that highchair. Easy to clean and looks slick!
ReplyDeleteThat bag sounds awesome. I do kind of miss buying baby stuff. But, I love sleeping all night!

ReplyDeleteSo many fantastic items in their shop!!! I'd choose a bag but can't decide on my favourite. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a new diaper bag!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the black/white bag!! Adore your blog & family!
ReplyDeleteInitially my immediate thought is obviously I'm getting a cute bag...but then those rainbow toys...you know how it's hard for mama to spend for herself rather than the kids. But we could say the bag is technically for the kids since it is a diaper bag after all. ;)
ReplyDeleteI would get some crib sheets for my new baby that is due this October.
ReplyDeletejessicarwarfield at gmail dot com
I would get some Tubby Todd products
ReplyDeleteI signed up for news letter
ReplyDeleteA small diaper bag is much needed here since I've recently taken in a1 year old and I'd already gotten rid of all my baby things
ReplyDeletewhat a stylish and fun diaperbag...I am mentally filling up all the pockets;)

ReplyDeleteI would get the Tubby Todd Hair and Body Wash - Lavender and Rosemary.
ReplyDeleteI would get this sweet dress for my daughter: Tea Collection Bel Paese Baby Dress
ReplyDeleteI could use some toys for my twin boys!!
ReplyDeleteThat bag is amazing, but I would probably pick some of their beautiful toys.
ReplyDeleteThose bags are beautiful! It doesn't look like a diaper bag
ReplyDeleteI swear that this is the exact bag that I have been trying to find. I am nowhere near the expertise level to create it myself but I have been getting to the point that I'm now looking for patterns to make one. I'm certain it would be a learning experience to say the least!
