I have a huge crush on Petunia Pickle Bottom. So much so that I ordered an extra Petunia Pickle Bottom Diaper Bag for a very lucky Posh*Little Blog reader in an upcoming giveaway (stay tuned in the upcoming weeks for details or sign up for blog alerts via email).

It's been my diaper bag brand for 2 of my 4 babies. First I had a Boxy Backpack and now I'm sporting the Petunia Pickle Bottom Cake Society Satchel. They're gorgeous diaper bags and are pretty much guaranteed to get compliments on every outing.

It's exciting to see that Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bags are still one of the most coveted diaper bag lines around. 8 years ago when I bought my first diaper bag, it had to be a Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Backpack. At the time, the company was still fairly new. With all the other gear I had to buy, it seemed so expensive and there weren't any discounts for this sought after and not widely available bag. Didn't matter though. They were so unique, practical and adorable that that didn't stop me and it turned out to be a great diaper bag that I got every penny out of (reselling it on Ebay didn't hurt).

While of course bringing home the baby is the most exciting moment in this crazy trip we call pregnancy, setting up the nursery is by far one of the next most defining moments. When you gaze around at your finished design creation, it will really sink in that a pink or blue little bundle of joy will be living with you very shortly and changing your life forever.

And we think it's fantastic! LeSportsac's Artist In Residence collection for Spring 2010, designed by Zurich raised and London schooled designer and illustrator, Katharina Leuzinger, is a kooky, colorful and bold new line that will dazzle moms and kids alike. The imagination filled oceanic prints shows mustached ships and love struck fish in a quirky sea of bow tie wearing octopuses and silly sea lions dressed like sailors. The House Boat design (shown on this collection) is wild, tons fun and as with all trusty LeSportsac bags... reliable, durable and versatile.

Whether you use it as a diaper bag or carryall, the Double Trouble Tote (pictured far left; $98) is a huge and wonderful 2 compartment bag that has two exterior side pockets with Velcro closures. There are three interior pockets; one large zippered pocket that doubles as the divider for the two main compartments and 2 smaller pockets (one zipped and one open for easy access). Organized and handy for easy grab items as well as things you need to keep secure which are all requirements that moms on the go need. It's 13.75 x 12 x 7.5 in (about the size of a grocery bag) with two strong and handles and a top snap closure.

You can kind of gage how many kids a man has by his diaper bag. If it's pink and frilly, he probably has 3+ kids and could care less what the bag looks like as long as it gets the job done. If he's on his first, he would probably rather carry everything in a large Ziploc bag before he would tote around his wife's designer diaper bag!

Who says there has to A diaper bag? Daddy is absolutely allowed to have his own as well! While he may not spend the hours and days obsessing over the hippest bag, he would probably be quiet happy if you ushered him and the kids out of the house with one of these hip and studly messenger style diaper bags from DadGear!

It is funny how today's modern momma has transformed something that was once supposed to be ugly and formula drenched to a to a couture badge of honor. Few things say "I am THE hip mom" as much as a Petunia Pickle Bottom Diaper Bag! New for fall 2008, they have unrolled a new style with additional clips to strap directly to your stroller! Our favorite is the Sightseeing in Sumatra Touring Tote in a bold crimson red with white and black long stemmed flowers. Find it @ TrendiTikes.com
