This is the weekend bag that tops all other weekend bags. I've used this bag on flights, train rides, and road trips, and I'm still amazed at how much I can fit into it. It keeps everything nice an organized too, which I  love! I was not able to fit it in the overhead bin on the airplane I was on (it was a smaller plane), but it fit perfectly under the seat in front of me. It fit great in the overhead storage on my Amtrak train as well. It is so versatile too. The hanging organizer was a lifesaver on my last trip to NYC. I was sharing a room with two other girls, and there wasn't a ton of counter space in the bathroom. I was able to hang the organizer on one of the towel racks to keep all my toiletries together and out of the way! You can tell right away that this duffle was made with quality and for durability. The leather trim accents are beautiful. StorkSak even included straps on outside of the bag to hold your jacket! They made sure to create a trave...

Hello, hello! So while my personal blog may have been quiet for a year, I definitely wasn't just sitting on my hands (I have a kid, so we all know how busy life can get)! I was contributing to a local Big City Moms blog. I submitted posts twice a month on topics that were relevant to me or the season. I wanted to share some of the posts here though, so you could read about some of the things that were going on in my life. As a new mom, I was continually learning new things about myself, my husband, and our new way of life with a baby. This is my author page that lists all of the posts that I had written: Ruzella Wagner Here are some of my favorite posts: 5 Things I’ve Learned From Watching My Husband Become a Father The Mommy Trap When It’s More Than Postpartum Symptoms Recipe: Buhl Mansion’s (famous) Spiked Apple Cider xoxo, Ru    

One of the beautiful effects of living your passion is that it inspires other people to live theirs Hello! It's been far too long since I've updated this, and after the amazing weekend I had, I have a renewed faith that I can keep this going. It's been over a year since my last post, and I have excuse after excuse as to why. Between some health issues, figuring out motherhood, and a huge family move, I'm back. I'm excited for what the future holds for this blog! I have some awesome collaborations in the works, and I can't wait to share them with all of you! Some things to look forward to: Curvy Con recap Clothing brand collaborations StorkSak Duffle Travel Bag review Southern Maryland Living I'm excited to share my heart with all of you! xoxo, Ru

 Hello! (In my best Adele voice) I hope you had a great weekend! I hope you are all enjoying the somewhat Spring-like weather. Timi and Leslie sent me two diaper bags to review right after I had my baby girl last July. Life was rough as the beginning, but as I wrote about in my last post , things are slowly getting easier. I was able to write my review on the Jessica bag a few months ago, and now I want to talk about their Classic Tote. I've been using this bag for about 3 months now, and it has been my go-to. I have 3 diaper bags (I know that you only really need one), but I love how each bag brings a different sense of style. The classic tote is just that, classic.  Channel timeless sophistication with the Classic Tote bag from Timi & Leslie!

The Classic Tote bag has a roomy interior with multiple compartments to fit all of your and baby...

Happy New Year! I know, I know - it's already the end of February. This whole mom thing isn't easy. I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but for some reason, I didn't think it would be this hard. Don't get me wrong, having my daughter has been the biggest blessing in my life! She has changed our world, and has made it so much better. Her smiles and laughter get me through each day. There is so much more planning involved with just getting out of the house (which we need to do more often). Are we leaving near a nap time, meal time, or fussy time? Is there a place where I can nurse her (I really need to figure out how to use my NuRoo N ursing scarf)? How presentable do I really need to look? Is there anything that I'm shopping for that I can't just buy using Amazon Prime? It is getting easier, though. Those first few months are still somewhat blurry, but that's okay. Once my girl started getting to be more mobile, things got easier. She's not ...
