What's in Your Diaper Bag, Chelsey?

Here is my first feature that the bestie and I came up with. After posting about my own diaper bag I have to feature Chelsey next of course. That's just how it works. So here are her answers to the questions.

Your name: Chelsey Felda
Blog: Lifes Little Souvenirs
Child/ren name and age: 1 daughter,  Ava, 8 months old

1.  What bag do you use? Do you love it/hate it?

I mostly use my Thirty-One Retro Metro Tote in Party Punch, but occasionally switch to my Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Backpack.
I love both of my bags, but have found myself using the tote more often as Ava gets older and requires more (I.E. food and more toys to keep her entertained while away) I love that the PPB has a detachable changing pad so I am able to use it with the tote as well. Oh, and the prints are ADORABLE on both bags.

2. The goods...what's inside your bag?

1. Face wipes because let's face it, babies are messy. ;)
2. A pen, Wet Ones, and Pacifier/Toy Cleaning Wipes: I keep a pen in the bag because I always need one when I don't have one in it, the Wet Ones are for those dirty high chairs and carts, and the wipes are pretty much self explanatory. 
3. Baby food, travel spoon, formula/formula dispenser, baby juice, and my Thirty-One thermal pouch to keep it all in.
4. Baby Mum Mum's, a granola bar for Mommy (or Daddy!), spare/emergency formula, and baby snacks (teether biscuits and puffs).
5. Wet bag and cloth diapers.
6. Bottles and a sippy cup. 
7. Teether toys!! I would DIE without these!!
8. Wipes holder with cloth wipes inside, diaper creams, and hand sanitizer.
9. Mommy's wristlet, Kleenex, and chap stick: the Kleenex because it is allergy season and the chap stick because Brian is always asking me for some. 
10. Pacifiers (always carry a spare!).
11. The "Med" Bag: in it we have things like gas drops, Tylenol, baby chap stick, teething gel, amber beads, etc. 
12. A big and a burp cloth because Ava always seems to spit up when we don't have them.
13. Spare clothes in their own wet bag.
14. Some crazy light up spinner Cinderella toy...not sure why that is in there...

3.What must you always, always, always have in your bag?
What must I always have in my bag?? That is a tough one since without one thing we almost always need it; which is why I carry so much! I would have to say that right now the one thing I must ALWAYS have in the bag is a pacifier and the wet bag...without the pacifier I can't distract her from her hunger in the even that I forgot the bottle, formula, or BOTH; which has been done before. And without the wet bag, well, let's just say we have one STINKY diaper bag without it.

4. What's the most random item in your bag?
The most random thing in my bag is definitely that Cinderella toy...I think I stuffed it in her bag when we were traveling to Georgia a few weekends ago...not sure why...

5. Dirty Secret...
My dirty secret is that I am guilty of having forgotten to take the dirty diapers out of the wet bag...oopsy! I should also swap out the spare clothes since I am almost positive they are from two months ago...guess that means we are lucky for not ever needing them! Now watch, we will need them and the clothes will be waaaaaaay too small! Ha!
