The Diaper Bag Chronicles
New moms are always chatting and comparing notes on diaper bags. They need to look good because they’re permanently attached to you, but at the same time you need them to be functional for you and your baby. When I was pregnant with Jack and Charlie and did diaper bag research, I was on a mission to find a a bag that would suit the needs of a multiple mom of newborns. I needed an everything but the kitchen sink kind of bag- we’re talking space for two sets of bottles, my pump, bibs and burp cloths, diapers, wipes, creams, toys, changes of clothes… you get the picture!
I chose the Jujube Be Prepared, a well-designed and easy-to-clean lightweight bag with compartments and pockets galore. It also has a special zip compartment for your phone, wallet and personal gear, but because it’s so massive, I find I only bring it if we’re going out for longer trips with both babies and need an arsenal of stuff. Instead I usually just throw my Toronto-designed Elari diaper wallet and a few other essentials into a large leather Goyard tote. Especially now that the boys are fully on solids and only have a bottle in the morning and night, I don’t need as many supplies on a typical daytime outing.
Welcome to Jessica Claire Interiors!
For any new readers out there, my name is Jessica Waks and I am a Toronto-based interior decorator, gourmand, and mother of twin boys. I started my original blog way back in 2008 and have since worn a few different hats, most notably as the Design Editor of Style At Home and as a media personality on television shows such as Cityline and The Marilyn Denis Show.
Now with my maternity leave behind me, I’m excited to share the next chapter: Jessica Claire Interiors. My goal is to take on a select few decorating jobs at a time in order to be able to balance work with family. It was hard to leave my position at the magazine behind, but being my own boss gives me the flexibility I need right now. I’ll still produce the occasional editorial story on a freelance basis and will be doing some media appearances now and then, so I hope you’ll follow along with my latest decorating adventures here.
