How to Pack a Diaper Bag

An ambitious goal –  to elapse no more than a quarter hour between starting to exit the house and starting the car. With two babies, two diapered bottoms, two runny noses, two hungry tummies, and two car seats, it’s going to take some practice and planning.
But at least my Skip Hop Versa Links diaper bag is ready on a whim.  I could write sonnets to this function full accessory.  With so many sets in my life of late, it’s nice to have a one and only.
