Bj was a little confused when I told him this diaper bag was for us: A girl's gotta have options! The pattern is Amy Butler's Nappy Bag and I love it! It is huge, yes, but it holds lots. An added bonus is using up my plethora of Hawaiian fabric I got the day Bj …

The sincerest form of flattery
I think everyone saw this coming except Bj: oh no mom you didn't! I know I'm just a big copy cat. But one who now has really nice pillows on her couch.
