Confessions of a Diaper Bag Junkie

Okay, I confess, I love my diaper bags!!! My daughter is 4 1/2 now and I really don't need a diaper bag, but I can't imaging life without one now (kind of like I feel about my daughter). They are just so convenient with all the pockets to keep everything in it's place. Better yet, they are sooo easy to clean. With the new laminated fabrics, just dampen a cloth and wipe the outside and inside clean.

Diaper bags are also very stylish now. Yes, no one ever suspects that the gorgeous bag they are commenting on is actually a diaper bag. And if you're environmentally minded, there are some great new choices out there. One stand out is the Fleurville line. Certified as a "Bay Area Green Business", they have come up with some really great eco-friendly bags. The Re-Run is a proprietary fabric made entirely of recycled plastic water bottles. Each product made out of the Re-Run fabric, keeps anywhere from 2.5 to 10 bottles out of landfill. Fleurville also has PVC-free diaper bags and their trade marked Green-LAM. Green-LAM is created with Fleurvilles' very environmentally friendly polyurethane laminate Green-LAM. Green-LAM has superior attributes like moisture-repellency, UV-resistance and overall durability.

So the next time you're looking for the perfect bag, don't overlook the new and improved diaper bags. You may just become a junkie like me!
