Diaper Bag Organization for a Toddler…

Having a toddler of two years now doesn´t mean I am carrying less with me than having a newborn baby. Although the things are really different a toddler definitely requires a lot of stuff too.

Especially when you have an active one like we do. I always have a change of clothes for Emilia with us as well as a towel, some burp clothes, lots of wipes and snacks. Having all things diaper change with us hasn´t changed, only the size of the diapers.

To be honest I have tried a fair share of diaper bags and non-diaper bags I wanted to make work but haven´t been very satisfied with either solution. Most of the diaper bags are just too small and I can not fit all the things in there and that totally annoys me. Then I got an insert for the Neverfull (I have the large one) but this wasn´t the perfect solution as well and I didn´t like it as much as I wished cause I wanted a bag that closes with a zipper.

Then I have found out about the MC Wallace but I was hesitant at first cause it is pricey but the pros definitely outweigh the cons. It is durable, lightweight, easy to clean, big enough to fit all of our stuff and available in lots of colors.

My model is the MC Wallace Large MetroTote in color Magnet. I do not have the Deluxe Edition cause I don´t need the shoulder straps as the handles are wide enough to wear over the shoulder.

I got the dark grey color cause it matches our stroller really good but I was eyeing with the shiny golden color as well. The Metro Tote closes with a zipper and stays closed on its own which I appreciate very much. It fits lots of Emilia´s stuff and will also come in very handy when we have to carry baby no. 2´s things as well.

So far I have never looked bag and didn´t regret getting it at all. It really is a great bag and would also make an amazing bag for a weekend away or for travelling on a plane. It still looks brand new although we use it every day.

How I organize our diaper bag

As far as organizing goes I love to use those document folders that close with a zipper. I got different sizes for to store and organize all the different things in the bag. I hate searching a bag up and down for things. This is really irritating for me and makes me super angry.

To make it even easier to find stuff (even for the husband) I got a bunch of cute little sticker tags from an etsy shop and I definitely love how it turned out. I got one for snacks, books, pens and cards, extra clothes, wipes and small medical things.

All the Details for Emilia´s „Farmtastic“ Second Birthday Party…

Kid´s birthday party planning is definitely my thing. When I go on Pinterest to get some inspo on themes I could definitely browse on there for hours and hours. There are so many cute themes for little girls which makes it super hard to choose from. Last year our theme was Minnie Mouse – for Emila´s First Birthday Party – and this year we went with a farm theme cause the loves all of the farm animal books and visit the ducks and chickens at her grandma´s place.

So after I have a party theme I always start to browse amazon for decor. It is easy cause there is everything in one place and you can search easily but there are plenty of other shops I come back and have a look for party decor.

The theme for Emilia´s second birthday party has been „Farmtastic“. She has been loving all things farm lately and I thought it would be a cute theme for her second birthday. She loved all the farm animals I incorporated into the decor and also the cake. It is amazing to watch her and see how much joy she gets. We only celebrated with our family cause I have been too sick to make a birthday party with lots of kids happen but it was fine with her, also cause she didn´t know better.

So for the set-up, I went with a balloon arch as the center piece of the table in the theme colors blush, pink, white and some very cute black and white balloons with an all over cow print. The table cloth was all pink and white gingham covered with lots of black and white accents. I definitely loved how our little farm scene turned out.

We got the cake from a small bakery nearby (they did all of our cakes so far) and it was magnificent like the last time. It turned out super cute with the cow print, the little barn and all the farm animals.

Reisinger, Party of 4….

Happy Monday you guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

today is the first real day after all the Christmas festivities and we are still in a lazy rut although I cleaned up today but that was it. We hung around in our PJ´s all day and had leftovers from all the food we ate in the last couple of days. I am sure anybody else who hadn´t go back to work today did the same.

Anyways let´s talk about the real news over here – we will be having another little baby next year in June!!!!! I can´t wait for it to be here and for Emilia becoming a big sister. We also already found out the gender but I am going to share that in a separate post.

It has been a whirlwind around here. Being pregnant while chasing after a toddler is extremely hard but I am so glad she still naps so I did as well. We tried to tell her what is going on and so far she knows that there is a baby in my belly and she has to be very gentle but other than that I am not sure if she totally grasps what is happening here. We´ll see but the last couple of weeks she has turned into the best doll mom we could ask for so I am going to stay positive.

I am now 17 weeks along and my first trimester symptoms are finally fading. I am so happy that the nausea and the exhaustion is lifting. I just can´t believe that I almost forgot everything from my first pregnancy. How great it is to watch your baby on the ultrasound and hearing the heart beat plus the anxiety and excitement before every appointment.

Since this is my second pregnancy and also everyone told me I am not surprised that my bump is already quite noticeable. I had to change into my maternity pants last week, so that´s that.

Going to share more on an official bump date post so that´s it for the day. See you soon.

Emilia´s Whimsical Christmas Tree…

I couldn´t feel more joy than looking at Emilia´s little pink Christmas tree. These are the things I have been waiting to experience with my daughter and it is so fun.

To be honest I did not want to get her a tree this year since I thought she would be too young to understand but you can clearly see how much she loves it and she definitely knows that it´s her because she calls our big tree Mama´s tree.

A pink tree was never on my radar but in my opinion it turned out perfect. The pink, white and clear ornaments are the cutest and the bows and poinsettias round-up the whole theme. I went with a whimsical fairy swan and glitter theme and even my husband thinks it is beautiful.

He has to look at all the ornaments with Emilia every night and I just stand in the door and watch and it is the cutest. I have a good feeling that this Christmas could be even better than the last one.
