Giveaway: Lily Jade diaper bag of your choice
I have never been a backpack person. Well, not since high school. And even then, it was one strap thrown over one shoulder; not exactly the way backpacks were intended to be worn. Before high school, I used one of those rubber straps that clicked around your books so you could hold them all together as one massive unit, like only the COOLEST elementary kids did. Now, I believe kids take their books to school in rolling bags of luggage. Whoever thought the ability to carry your books without wheels would date a person? But here we are.
I tend to think of backpacks as something kindergarteners carry, so I was a little surprised when Lily Jade, a company I love for their fashion forward diaper bags, suggested I try one.
Lily Jade diaper bags come in leather and solid colors, appealing to a grown woman’s aesthetic as opposed to a five-month-old. That means no large quilted floral patterns or lamb motifs, thank you very much. But the best part is the ‘baby bag organizer insert‘ which comes in every bag. The insert has pockets for every baby need imaginable and is completely removable. This means, you can use your diaper bag on the weekends when you are running around with the kids and then remove the insert when you go to work, creating just a regular bag.
The bag they were attempting to sell me on is their convertible Madeline bag. Which converts from a shoulder strap to a cross body to a backpack.
“I don’t use backpacks, ” I told them. In fact, I have a long standing argument/joke with my husband who I think looks like a total idiot when he walks to work with his Jansport knapsack.
“What are you? FIVE???”
“What’s wrong my knapsack?”
“You are wearing a suit, for one. Get a messenger bag or something. GEEZ.”
I also used to make fun of my old work partner who was stylish in every other way imaginable except when she put her coat and backpack on at the end of the day.
“What is with that thing? It does not go with your five inch heels.”
She said she had back issues and it was her only option. “You should really wear one too, you know. After awhile your shoulders are going to make you pay for what you’ve done to them.”
Yes, I’ve rolled my shoulders and cracked my neck a few times from lugging around a laptop in a tote exclusively on my right shoulder for the past few years, but I try my best to ignore any permanent damage.
Recently, I have noticed backpacks seem to be making a comeback and started to think maybe I’m the old fuddy duddy in all of this. So, I agreed to give the Madeline a try. I figured, since it’s a convertible, if I didn’t like it, I could always convert it back into the regular shoulder bag and still get some good use out of it.
I chose to test out the backpack on our hardest kid shuttling day— which is Wednesday. That’s the day Harlow and Mazzy’s schedules converge in such a way that one person CAN take care of all pick-ups and drop-offs, but ONLY if things run EXACTLY as planned. There is no room for mistakes.
Here’s the rundown.
Harlow must be dropped off at school on the East Side at 2:30pm, leaving her stroller there. Then I have to walk a few blocks to the bus and cross over to the West Side to pick Mazzy up from school between 3-3:15pm. Then we have to catch the 3:30pm crosstown bus back over to the East Side, in order to make it to Mazzy’s 4:15pm ballet class on time. I change Mazzy into her ballet clothes and leave when class starts. Then I have to walk back up to Harlow’s school for pick-up at 4:30pm, put her in the stroller and walk back to Mazzy’s dance class which ends at 5pm. Then I take them both home.
It’s a monster of an afternoon, with no break in transport whatsoever but I’d be lying if I said I do it every Wednesday. Usually, our nanny Ruth does it while I’m at work or we split the kids up between us. On some occasions, when Ruth is sick or off for the day, I handle the whole thing alone. Like this past Wednesday, when Ruth had an afternoon doctor’s appointment.
I came home from work, put on my Madeline backpack and took off for that afternoon’s escapades in my most comfortable shoes at about 2:15pm, walking Harlow to school in her stroller.
Drop-off went smoothly, and I have to say, once I lost the stroller, the backpack made me feel all sorts of FREE. I am so used to having a huge heavy tote bag over one arm and the backpack made me feel like I could run a marathon if necessary. Or flee a mugger. Or whatever. I have never felt so “on-the-go” in my life.
I walked to the bus stop, took the bus to Mazzy’s school, picked up Mazzy (who refused to put on her coat), caught the bus going back in the other direction, got off and started the walk to dance class.
On the walk from the bus to ballet, the backpack became a little bit of a problem because Mazzy kept asking me for different snacks, taking a bite and then rejecting them, with just enough time for me to put both backpack straps back on and then have to take the whole thing off again.
This is me trying to sell her on airplane pretzels, after she had already rejected goldfish, a kid’s Clif Bar and a bag of almonds.
Backpacks, I discovered, are not ideal for walking with small children who are constantly demanding things from your bag.
Luckily, the Madeline also has a shoulder handle which I could easily convert back and forth to in these instances.
Changing Mazzy for dance is probably my least favorite part since she acts like a two-year-old and totally forgets how to put on her own clothes.
Meanwhile, I’m in a rush because I know I have to pick up Harlow before she’s left there by herself with a bunch of preschool teachers that feel bad for her after all the other kids have filed out. I walked extra fast and got there exactly at the right time and no one was the wiser.
This is Harlow holding onto her new obsession for dear life— an empty tin of mints.
Then Harlow and I walked to pick up Mazzy from dance and we all headed home together.
The big difference I see between a backpack and a shoulder bag, is it’s really not much effort to carry a backpack, whereas a shoulder bag (while definitely more convenient to get stuff in and out) is always a constant weight and annoyance.
All in all, I would totally carry the backpack again and really liked the sportiness of it. But maybe I would convert the extra strap to a cross body during walks with Hangry Indecisive Mazzy.
Hangry Indecisive Mazzy is the worst Mazzy, by the way.

Mondays ….take everything he will need for the week to daycare and bring my pumping supplies to work. Fridays are the reverse, lug everything home to prep for another week.
And I follow Lily Jade on Instagram!
Mondays–I have to bring all the daycare supplies for the week and carpool the kids to swim lessons after I get off of work. Both girls have very different toy and snack needs, double the stuff. My tote bag makes me look like I’m homeless.

Monday through Friday are very big “lugging” days as I teach middle school math! I would use this bag as a work bag, and then “hopefully soon” start using it as a diaper bag
Every day is a busy day when you’re a single mom, but Tuesdays are by far the busiest. I get up at 5:00am, get myself ready for the day, wake my daughter up at 6:10 to get her ready, and then we’re out the door by 6:35. It’s nearly an hour round-trip to drive her to daycare and make it back to my house in time to login to my computer & work from home for the day, starting at 7:30am. If I run into any morning traffic or school traffic near my house, I’ll be logging in late. Red lights are the worst! I have to take an hour of paid sick leave every Tuesday from 3:00-4:00pm so that I can get off work early enough to rush back over to daycare, pick my girl up, and then battle afternoon traffic on Interstate 35 from one end of Austin to the other to make it up north in time for my daughter’s therapy sessions that start at 4:00pm. We’re rarely on time! She has physical and occupational therapy (to treat cerebral palsy) until 6:00pm, so I get about 2 hours of alone time to run errands. I not only work full-time for the federal government, but I also run a small business on Etsy, so this 2-hour window is typically filled with business-related errands, such as going to the bank & post office, and running around to different stores looking for the leggings & supplies that I need for my orders. When therapy is over at 6:00pm, I pick my daughter up & we hop on the toll road to make it home by 6:45pm so that I can get dinner ready & consumed before bathtime at 8:00pm. Bedtime can’t come soon enough!
Yikes, sorry for writing a novel!! I’m also following Lily Jade on Instagram!
Tuesdays. It’s playground, library, early afternoon play date, lunch with Daddy and a quick visit to Abuelo and Abuela’s house. Things will get crazier once the next little one arrives in July but I’m looking forward to it. (I say that now…)
Monday’s…kids go to daycare in the next town over that day so we have to leave 15 minutes earlier. Then I have to drive an extra 20 minutes to get them in the afternoon, plus I usually grocery shop while I’m there.
Followed on Instagram.
Thursday…oh Thursdays! My husband leaves at 6:45 for his men’s breakfast church group so I must wrangle and drop off all 3 boys in the morning. Unfortunately, it doesn’t stop there. My husband also has a church staff meeting at 5. My oldest has swim practice after school, I have to pick up the 2 littles by 5 then pick up the oldest from swimming, drop him off at soccer practice by 5:45. I then may have a soccer game for Mr middle which I have to coach. If I’m lucky, hubby has arrived from his meeting to watch little man before rushing off to snag the oldest after his practice. Thursdays are also the days my husband’s work schedules down time…aka my husband has to be back at work by 8pm for server maintenence. You want to see me on a Thursday? Good luck with that 😉

Thursdays: school, pickup, change into gymnastics clothes, grab a snack to eat on the way, don’t forget a change of clothes and water bottle! After gymnastics, change clothes at lightning speed, drive to Girl Scouts, (always a few minutes late!). After Girl Scouts, grab a pizza, stuff your face, get that homework done! After homework, bath, teeth, bed. Blow drying the hair must be done, no matter how tired and cranky or the hair will be a huge, knotty mess in the morning. Every step on Thursdays must be done with precision to allow for getting everything done and getting to bed at a reasonable time. Often, there is crankiness or rejection of snack and crying when its realized that this is the only snack available, as all other snacks are still in the snack cupboard, 5 miles away at home. Fun!
Tuesday is my busy day. I drop my daughter off at preschool. Then I have to run errands, then back home to super clean the house while little is not there not letting me clean. I pick her up. Get us a late lunch. Then a few more errands and back home to rest.
Perfect for NYC!
Saturday is our worst day – swimming in the morning, then a break then the girl and I have Brownies. Not bad by a lot of standards, but the break in between can be frustrating!
EVERY DAY IS BUSY WITH KID SHUTTLING BECAUSE MY SON GOES TO SCHOOL AT 7:40 AND GETS PICKED UP AT 2 WHILE MY DAUGHTER GOES TO SCHOOL AT 8:30 AND GETS PICKED UP AT NOON. TUESDAYS ARE THE BUSIEST THOUGH BECAUSE I TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO MUSIC CLASS AFTER SCHOOL AND MY SON TO KARATE AT 4:45. MEALS HAVE TO PREPARED AHEAD OF TIME AND EATEN ON THE GO
Wednesdays for us as well. Pick kid 2 up at one school, run home for snack and change into ballet clothes, pick up kid 1 at a different school after kinderchor, rush to ballet for kid 2, help kid 1 with homework, rush home for dinner.
Sorry about the all capps reply above! Oops.

Going anywhere with a 2 year old and a 6 year old is like going on an expedition. And when ever I bend over to deal with the 2 yo I end up clocking her in the head with my tote bag.
Thankfully, I have scheduled my courses and work just right so that this doesn’t happen to me! My son is 1 and not in preschool so it’s more of a matter of shuttling him around to different babysitters while I go where I need to go. On Tuesday at 10:00am we leave my house and drive 37 minutes to drop him off at my aunt’s. Then I commute 28 minutes (unless there is the unavoidable train–add at least 4 minutes) to class. Hopefully I find a parking spot and walk fast enough across campus to arrive just before it begins at 11:45am. At 3:00pm I drive 28 minutes back to pick him up, allot 15 minutes for pick up since he never wants to leave, and drive 34 minutes to work. He comes with and eats a snack while I change in the bathroom and try to keep him in line until his sitter arrives to pick him up. Luckily, I am a server so claiming the cute little boy walking around certainly helps tip-wise 😉
Wednesdays are the worst for me, too. I bring my oldest and youngest to grandma’s house (where my oldest catches the school bus). Then I bring my middle to preschool. On my lunch break, I pick up middle child from preschool and bring him to grandma’s house. Oldest rides bus from school to grandma’s in the afternoon. Then after work, I pick all three up from grandmas and we go straight to church for dinner and programs.
This is the same drill on Mondays and Fridays, but Wednesday mornings also include taking out the trash in the morning and remembering whatever gear we need for church that night.

Tuesday is my busy day. I pick up my daughter at 3:40, dance class from 4:30-5:30. Then I have to make dinner. Then help daughter with homework, shower and reading. It’s not as bad as everyone else’s hectic days but it’s my doozy day!
Saturdays are our busiest days-swim lessons, we get time to fit in a quick work out, errands, and getting home in time for nap. Our lives will get busier this May with baby #2 arrives and we have 2 under 2.

Monday-Friday are crazy days for me (and all parents who work outside of the home). My husband works nights as a bartender so asking him to wake up for the morning routine is just mean. My 4 year old twins have to be at pre-k across town (we live in DC) by 8:15 and I have to be to work shortly after. All three of us are running out the door by 7:15 to walk the 2 blocks to the bus stop. It takes us the full 15 minutes because my son has Hypotonia and makes walking and distance hard. If we miss the 7:30 bus we wait 15 mintues for the next one and miss the bus we are trying to connect too, which means we wait even longer at the next stop and thus are late to school. We jump off the bus and walk the very slow 2 block walk to school. I drop one twin off at one Pre-K class and then walk across the hall to drop the other twin off. If I’m lucky only 1 kid will freak out with twin seperation anxiety. Then I walk as quickly as humanly possible the 5 blocks to my office. I chose to walk them, even with a kid with special needs, because bringing a stroller on a crowded rush hour bus, on one of the busiest bus lines in DC, is one of my circles of hell.
All in all it could be worse. I could have 2 kids in separate schools or I could have to drive.
I have been eyeing the Lilly Jade bags for a while now- just haven’t pulled the trigger yet- they are a bit pricey. But- I love the look and the diaper insert.
Heck any weekday is busy with shuttling my daughter to school before work and then fighting Atlanta traffic to make sure I get back to daycare without the extra charges!

We really don’t have busy day with activities at this time, my daughter is only 11 months old. But we are adding a new baby to the family in November and the bag would be very useful!
I only have one daughter, but since her daycare is 30 minutes away (in the wrong direction from my work) everyday is a haul! Ahh…the things parents will do for quality daycare!
I already follow Lily Jade on Insta….love their bags!!!
I do the daycare drop-off and pick-up every day, so most days are the same, but once I have 2 kiddos (come August), I have a feeling things will get a bit more hectic! This bag would be amazing to have as a treat for me! 🙂

Saturdays are often busy with dance,swim, and play dates. I have to make sure to have everything loaded up and easily accessible for a 3 yr old and 9 month old.
Tuesdays and Thursdays I get our kindergartener on the bus at 7:40 ( which means me and her twin 2 year old sisters have to also be up, breakfasted, and dressed). Then back home to pack 3 lunches and finish prepping the 2yos for school. Drop them off at 9 with lunches. Frantically run errands or clean until 11:30. Meet the kindergartener getting off the bus. Encourage her to go potty and get her lunch from the fridge. Load her up and go pick up sisters at 12. Convince them all to get in their carseats- hint: they don’t want to. Then drive home trying to keep the sleepy twin awake. get home and tuck twins in. Exhale.

I work I the suburbs of Boston but live in the city. Every day I commute home, park the car, run inside to change and grab the dog so that we can walk to pick up my 1-year old. We then all walk back (kid in stroller or carrier, dog pulling on the leash) so we can get home with enough time to eat, bathe (maybe), change into jammies and (if we’re lucky) play a little bit before bed. Whew!

I would love this for my sister! She is pregnant with No. 2 (a girl) who is due May 12 and she has a boy who will be 3 on July 13. She is a hard working teacher who will have to drop her 2 children off at daycare (lord the expense!) take them to whatever needs to be done after work and on the weekends. This amazing family of soon to be 4 would be need the ease and beauty of this diaper bag that is stylish enough that this mom here of 2 (13 yo girl and 8 yo boy) wouldn’t mind having one herself! Between running errands and someone always forgetting something it would be nice to have a nice stylish bag. Let’s face it your little ones may not need diapers, bottles, formula, and wipes (wait I have kids I will ALWAYS need wipes!) but they always need SOMETHING and this stylish bag would definitely come in handy coming and going!
weekends are busiest for me. M-F I only do school drop-off OMW to work, but weekends we try to do a lot together. much schlepping. lots of buses to catch.
Our preschool after school teachers are really smart and tell the kids that the last one out the door is the “winner” that day. As the mom who is often last to pick up, I really appreciate that they never made the kids feel it.
i don’t have crazy busy kid shuttling days yet…. But I’m in for it soon as number two is due in July!
Everyday seems ridiculous, but I don’t carry a diaper bag during the week (Lily Jade could change that.) I keep random stashes of emergency supplies all over my car. On weekends when we become weekend warriors I always have an over stuffed unorganized mess of a bag with me. It is embarrassing because it never zips and I can never find anything.
Honestly, we don’t run around all crazy anymore. When I worked, every day was very busy and stressful, but life has calmed down so much. We do have a baby on the way, so I expect things to change soon enough.

Our crazy days are Mondays, mainly because they are Mondays. But I have department meetings until 4:45, then have to pick up the toddler by 5:00! If all the lights are green I can make it there. Then we usually have to go grocery shopping (bc who wants to do that on the weekends) and figure out dinner before bedtime hits us in the face.
I subscribe on to Lily Jade on Facebook too! I’ve been dying to own one of these bags forever!! They are so beautiful!

Monday’s are the worst. Between me and the two kids I have about 5 bags including my pump. I have to make a special trip to the car to drop them off before I load the kids in.
Fridays! I drop my son off to my MILs, then head into work, which adds 10 minutes to my normal commute. Go to work and at 4 go back to my MILs to pick up my son. She doesn’t realize we are in a hurry (even if I tell her) because he has swim lessons. Have to rush home in traffic and feed him a little something before the lessons. Hopefully I have everything laid out, so its a quick pick up and we are on our way to swim lessons. And with all that driving I pray that I have snacks in my purse or his diaper bag. Charlie gets VERY HANGRY.

My busiest day is Thursday! Make breakfast and must pack my daughter’s lunch and my lunch before 10:00 am. Pack up daughter and take her to Gymboree by 11:00 am. Once class is over I have to drop off my daughter to my in laws. Give them instructions on food, changing diaper and nap time. By the time its 12:30 pm and I have ten minutes to eat lunch and drive over to work to start at 1:00 pm. After work I have to get my daughter, sit in traffic on the way home and cook dinner all before 7 pm! Bath time then bed time for my daughter.

I would say every day in the city with a child with multiple activities is a busy day! Throw in a dog and our favorite play date being across the park and I’d say a backpack is a requirement!
And I’m following LilyJadeCo on Instagram 🙂
Great Bag! My kids are 2 and 8 months so doing anything requires catlike reflexes and iron will. BUt probably Fridays when I take my oldest to gymnastics and the younger one goes to the daycare there. Then rush home for lunch and naps before 12:00.
Any day where I have to juggle daycare pick up, dinner, bedtime, and heading back to the office to work late!
On my busiest child transport day, it’s speed bumps. Speed bumps, speed bumps, speed bumps. Both children’s schools have infinitely long driveways each with no less than 8 speed bumps which I have to drive over 4 times on the busiest days.
Thursday afternoons and Saturday mornings. They both have soccer (practice and games) never on the same field of course, but also never on adjoining fields. Many times they are both suppose to be at their respective field at the exact.same.time.

Wow, I’m feeling super lazy reading all these posts! I have a 20 month old daughter (baby #2 coming in August!) and our busiest day is Wednesday. Getting to the library for 9:30 am toddler time always seems like a struggle between making sure I have her two favorite stuffed animals, a snack and water for the 3 minute car ride. But after that it’s naptime and life is good!
Just getting my preschooler and baby out the door is crazy enough right now. I can’t imagine what it will be like when they both need to be somewhere on time! Right now the busiest days are when the baby has a doctor’s appointment. I try to get the first afternoon appointment, but sometimes it’s still close when I have to pick my daughter up from school an hour and a half later!

Does every day count as a busiest shuttle day? I feel that way every morning! but, I’d have to say Saturdays seem to be the ones…especially when there are errands to run, ballet lessons to go to, and multiple birthday party engagements…

Thursdays if my husband is traveling right now are the busiest. Have to get both my preschooler and the baby off to school (two different locations) then off to work myself. Then pick them both up in order to get the dog walked and the preschooler to dance at 5:30. Dance till 6:30 and home for 45 minutes before swim lessons at 7:30. It wasn’t originally scheduled that way but class time changed and we ended up with one very busy thursday!
Monday’s!! Dance class in the morning. Must pack a lunch for both kids because then we all head to my weekly work meeting. Thankfully naptime comes shortly after:)

Mondays and Fridays are the hardest. I drop off my daughter at my in-laws and have to bring the big stuff that she needs during the week that we won’t lug back and forth daily, i.e. stroller, backpack full of various goodies. Friday is the reverse.
I liked on facebook. Monday’s are by far the craziest. School pick up, dance for one, gymnastics for the other and race home for dinner.

Tuesdays are our busy days. Pick up #3 from daycare, pick up #1 from after school tutoring then drop #1 off for music lessons. Pick up #2 from after school program & take to music lesson, pick up #1 from music lesson & take to basketball. Pick up #2 from music & wait for basketball practice to finish. Take all 3 home & feed the family.
I have older kids but, I love this versatile bag! I have three kids who are in soccer, basketball, cheer, tumbling, track, piano, boy scouts, etc. I work full-time, head a chair in the PTA, play in a tennis league, and serve in our church. I can’t tell you the amount of junk I have to drag around and EVERYDAY is a crazy day! Do soccer balls fit in one of those bags?

My busiest child shuttling day is Thursday when my husband works late, I have to get the kids home and start dinner, and then I have to leave again by 6:40pm.
Every day I drive 40 minutes to meet my parents at work for what I call “the baby exchange.” After spending 20 minutes chit chatting and transferring half the contents of my car into theirs, I go into the office & they bring my son to their house for the day. After work, it’s a 30 minute (on a good day) drive to their house for “toddler extraction,” which usually takes at least 2 hours. Once all the contents are once again exchanged & I’ve convinced said toddler that it’s time to go home, we have an hour drive back to our house where we race through dinner, quality time, bath time & then reach bed time only to do it all over again a few hours later.
