I’m always looking for that perfect diaper bag and I FINALLY think I’ve found it (after 6 years of parenthood!). It’s Ju Ju Be’s BFF Diaper Bag ($165). Why do I love it? Sometimes I take a stroller around, sometimes I wear the baby, and sometimes I run into the New York City and need to be ultra portable. The BFF easily handles all my modes -plus it can be a worn on your shoulder, back, clipped onto a stroller, and it has a great grippy handle (like a carpetbag). It’s got tons of pockets and holds MUCH more than it looks like it can. While the price is a little steep, think of it this way — it’s quality and durable, plus it can function 2 different ways (as backpack and a messenger bag). Dimensions are 6 1/2” x 14” x 12”.

Ju Ju Be BeAll Diaper Bag: Smart Bags for Smart Moms
October 10, 2009 By 2 Comments
It’s no secret that I am a huge Ju Ju Be fan (read my recent BeLight review here). Their diaper bags are smart and super-functional and the array of gorgeous prints and styles are a breath of fresh air!
I recently received a sample BeAll Diaper Bag to test out. Features include: light linings (so you can find your stuff really easily), AgION antimicrobial linings, memory foam changing pad, magnets (instead of noisy velcro) in pockets, bottle pockets, and a separate diaper changing station. Measurements are 14″ width x 11″ height x 5 1/2 depth. It’s even machine washable – just air dry. While this bag doesn’t look large, I was able to pack a lot into it. It can also double as a laptop/office bag (if you don’t mind sporting a cool print!).
If you’ve ever visited Ju Ju Be’s Pink Room, moms can get a say on a new bag designs and features, talk/trade in the forums and enter giveways from Ju Ju Be- they give away a bag a week to a real mom! Click here to find out the 411.

This is Major! I Love my BeMajor Wallet from Jujube
June 18, 2009 By Leave a Comment
They’ve done it! Ding Dong the Witch is Dead, Game Over, Whaddya know, By George! and all that. Jujube is just brilliant. How brilliant? I’m-ditching-my-Marc-Jacobs-wallet-for -their-new-clutch, brilliant.
Seriously, my search for the perfect mom wallet is a long and epic one. So long It began in the pre-cell phone era. That’s like ancient times, right? My needs have changed a little but the basic one has stayed the same, so lets start with the basics. My #1 wallet need is that it has to have a zip that goes all the way around. No zip? Deal’s off. I tend to shove things in my wallet in a hurry on occasion. Things that really need to stay inside. Like cash and credit cards. Shove and zip and get out the door with a screaming baby. The zip is non negotiable, and on the BeMajor, it’s even bedazzled with a cute rhinestone.
Next I need pockets. Lots of pockets. Because we have eight different froyo franchises in our immediate area and thanks to my froyo loving brood, I am a club card member for all of them. Plus we have cards fo Albertsons, Vons, CVS, Ralphs, Costco, Disneyland, Seaworld, the Zoo, The Aquarium… well… you catch the drift. I’ve got a whole stack of cards, and they’ve got places to put them. Several places. Places that make sense, based on frequency of use. Thankfully there is a clear compartment for an ID/Driver’s license and frequent flier pocket for my most used credit cards and cash card.
But yes, there is more. More stretchy tether for my keys. You know how you have to detach them from the bag, while you have a baby on your hip, and the baby is screaming and you have to pee and it just started to rain and you just want to get in the dang door already? Well with a longer stretchy tether you don’t have to detach them. Thats a full 30 seconds of squirming(you) and screaming (baby) in the rain that you no longer have to endure.
The wallet comes with a pen and two stretchy loops of elastic to hold your lipstick. Are you happy now? You haven’t heard the best part! There is a Cell Phone Pocket on the outside!
This final, thoughtful touch, is what did it for me. What pushed me over the edge and made me abandon my designer leather. The outside pocket means no more frantic grabbing and unzipping and dumping out three nickels, two receipts, a bandaid and a dime from your shoved together zipped up wallet as you are scrambling to get the door unlocked, while holding a screaming baby, while doing the potty dance in the rain. Yep, you may even find youself answering on the first ring. And if you are lucky, it will be your husband on the line, and he will be opening the door for you.
The outer pocket is generous enough to fit my iphone securely.
The frosting on all this (with apologies to Mr M.Jacobs) is that unlike my leather wallet, the BeMajor is antimicrobial, spill and stain resistant and the light colored interior makes it super easy to find whatever you need.
