My Favorite Diaper Bag

My favorite diaper bag is, of all things, the free one that Similac gives out while you are at the hospital. It is very boring and un-cute, but I have not been able to find one that can touch it in terms of form and function. Then, after about a year of use I decided it needed a good washing and threw it in the washer. It hasn't been the same since.

So I bought one on ebay and had a very bad transaction. The "brand new" bag arrived reeking of smoke, and with a rip in the bottom! Fortunately I was able to get a refund, but for awhile there I thought I was about to experience my first ebay ripoff. It was a sigh of relief.

Then Cheree came to the rescue - she didn't want her free Similac bag. She donated it to me and I got it from her Friday at lunch - THANKS CHEREE!

In trying to find a picture of my bag via google images (I'm too lazy to just take one and upload it...) I came across a very interesting campaign to get rid of the free bags:

OK, puhleeze... I am thankful for my free and well designed bag, and - newsflash - the bag had no influence whatsoever on me since I still chose to breastfeed. Does anyone think that a couple cans of free formula in a diaper bag would actually be a decision maker for a new mom on this issue? The last time I checked, we are absolutely surrounded by marketing of all types in our society.
