I remember the first time I left the house as a first time mom, it literally took me an hour to get ready and walk out the door. My first time as a mama of two? A minute. Not because I’m a pro, but because I literally walked out with NOTHING and my hair wet 😆 I didn’t even think twice just grabbed the babies and walked out without diapers or wipes even lol!
I’ve been out a few times already these first two weeks, and yup, I learned my lesson, I need the diaper bag equipped with the essentials so I can grab it and go, quickly, but prepared.
So I pulled out my list of essentials and I’m sharing it with you, so you can have my cheat sheet too.
