Perfectly Imperfect Mom

Fall is one of my most favorite times of year! There are so many things to love about Fall and these are mine!

1. Pumpkin Spice Lattes. I know I am not alone in this one. Who doesn't love that warm Fall flavor? 2. Pumpkin Patches. Here we don't have real ones so we head over to a local Farmers Market with my Mommy friends and Ace's besties and pick out pumpkins for them to paint. We look forward to this every year. Ace has been talking about it pretty much since we left last year.

3. Cool weather. Another thing we don't have is that true Fall weather. But we do get a nice breeze and clear skies. The humidity goes down and we can stand outside without dripping sweat. It's perfection.

4. Bangles. Have you seen these amazing bangles from LaCkore Couture? I am obsessed with them and can not get enough of them. They are the perfect accessory for Fall. I need all of them!

5. Chili & Soups! Ok so my friends from anywhere other than Florida always make fun of me for making soups or chili. They say it's weird to eat it when it isn't cold but if I waited for it to be cold I would eat it two days out of the year. So I like to break the crock pot out and make some. If I don't have time and need a quick fix I can always rely on trusty Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup! I mean what doesn't bring you back to the good old days faster than that? I just love a hot bowl of soup and watching a movie. The girls eat this up like it's the best thing ever! My favorite though is definitely the Rich & Hearty Clam Chowder. So delicious!!

5. HOCUS POCUS! This is a Fall must watch every.single.year. In fact I bought it this year because last year I missed when it played on TV. Talk about being bummed. Never again will that happen.

As a working Mom of three littles I have multiple bags I use throughout the week. I typically don't have to go into my diaper bag until the weekend. When the weekends come we are usually on the go and the diaper bag needs to be packed and ready for us to head out the door. Here is what was in my diaper bag when I dumped it out.

1. Of course the number one thing we have in our diaper bags are diapers and wipes, shocker, I know. We have two different brands because Ashlyn is sensitive and Everly isn't so Ev gets the cheaper brand, sorry girl!

2. Ace always ends up throwing toy cars in my bag because he has to take them everywhere. This one was randomly in the cup holder. Glad I found it!

3. Another must for my pale kids is sunscreen. I prefer the sticks because it's easy and we are less likely to get it in their eyes. Everly is the worst at letting us put sunscreen on so this makes it somewhat doable. Ashlyn likes to steal these and rub them all over so that's super fun too.

4. Since Ashlyn's hair is wild we keep a comb and some type of headband or clip in there. Branden is really particular about keeping her hair from being crazy because it gets so knotted.

5. Snacks are a must with three kids. I usually keep cheerios, crackers or raisins for the kids and a Perfectly Simple nutrition bar for me and Branden. I am really particular about any kind of snack bars because I have had some that are chalky and these aren't. They are the perfect on the go snack. My favorite is the oatmeal chocolate chunk. They are the easiest options and don't take up much space.

6. Nose & Face wipes are just nice to have in case we have runny noses or messy faces.

7. We have an extra paci hanging out in there in case someone really needs one. They usually don't use them during the day anymore but it's definitely a must have just in case we have serious meltdowns.

8. When I actually wear my contacts I have to wear sunglasses. My eyes are so sensitive that I need them! If I forget them I am so miserable and have to squint to block out the sun. I try to stash a pair in each of my bags.

So that's it! Obviously we throw in some sippy cups, wallet and keys last minute but overall I try to keep the other things in there at all times so I don't have to pack too much in a rush. It works out well and we rarely forget anything.

So what do you keep in your diaper bag?
