My Kind of D.I.Y.
While I’m a fairly crafty person, there are a few things I would never attempt. Like items I might actually wear out of the house. Then again, considering how picky I can be about my accessories, I admit that the thought has crossed my mind.
Thanks toAnnie Wolfe, I can save my do-it-yourself desires for other, less essential things. Her custom bags come in ten fabulous styles, and you can customize them right down to the size, fabric and handles. I especially love that you can add more pockets if you choose. The Gracie seems to be the top choice of moms looking for a non-diaper bag diaper bag, but I like the Lola (shown here) for the plain fact that nothing with a Pampers logo will ever go near it. If you’ve got a gaggle of hard-to-please shopper friends, gather them for a purse party and an Annie Wolfe design consultant will help everyone create her perfect bag. And all you have to do is provide the food. And the adult beverages. Now that’s something I can do myself. -Kristen

I never thought twice about diapering my son with the eco-not-so-conscious disposable diaper. I have to admit, I thought that cloth diapers were still big cotton towels that required safety pins, manual dexterity, and a whole lot of free time.
Don’t get any sick ideas, dear readers. We’ve all seen our share of those softies and we certainly don’t need a stuffed one of THOSE laying around the house. 
When my 3 year old was a newborn we planned a trip to Europe and before I could say auf viedersehn, my brain pictured all the filthy traveling potties we would encounter while changing her diaper.
