Diaper Bags for the Stylish Mama

Hey Guys, Happy Tuesday!

If you have been following along on my instagram then you have seen a few of my post where I talk about a huge surprise coming on August the 26th. I seriously can't wait to share what is going on! 

Mark your calendars for that date and be sure to follow along on instagram and snapchat (ryanndonahoe) so you can see up close and personal before it goes live!

If you are like me and love stylish bags then this post is for you. I recently teamed up with The Baby Cubby to write a post about our favorite diaper bag and give you a sneak peak at what's inside. 

Nothing irritates me more than carrying around a dorky diaper bag when I'm in my "cute" attire. It just completely throws of my look! 

This J.J Cole bag is the PERFECT bag, not only does it look great but it also works wonders as a diaper bag. It has several comparments for all of you and your babes belongings. It comes complete with a changing pad plus stroller handles which is genius! 

Do you ever travel with a stroller and find yourself trying to stuff your bag underneath it or even holding it on your shoulder the entire time? Well it has happened to me on several occasions. 

A few weeks ago I started working a couple of days a week and it has been great! My kiddos go to daycare on those two days, and we bring in bulk diapers and wipes so on the days they go all I'm packing is a lunch, and nap time needs. I pack all of that together in a small bag and I'm actually using my diaper bag for myself on the days that I work- shhh don't tell :)

Honey Hive Five- Our go to bag

Happy Friday guys! 

So the blog is looking a little different these days which I'm sure you have noticed. We have made some big changed for wild rivers.co- it is now our main sight for all things Wild Rivers. 

Today I wanted to share with you our FAV bag for all of our essential oils. I have posted before about our love for these babies. We honestly couldn't live with our our EO's. 

This bag looks like a regular small bag you would us for things like makeup, jewelry, etc. but what I love about it is there are actually  like sections to hold your oils. Genius! 

Before our Honey Hive Five bag i was using a small Vera Bradley bag that I've had for years to carry my oils on the go. It wasn't ideal but did the trick but this bag is a game changer! 

I've teamed up with the awesome creator to bring my readers a coupon code to get your own! use code RIVERS10 for 10% off of yours!

Beauty Box 5

  Hey guys! 
Whew! Talk about one tired mama. This new schedule of getting Addie Rivers to school at 7:45 is wearing me out. Most mornings she isn't a little ray of sunshine. Thank goodness for coffee!  
Another thing that's been going on since we made the move is all of our "fun mail" we are receiving. If you follow me on Instagram or Snapchat I'm sure you have seen! My first fix from Stich fix arrived this morning. I was more than pleased! And like always I'm getting off track. 
I wanted to let you guys know about the awesome subscription box I received. Beauty Box 5! This was probably my most exciting fun mail yet. March months box ended up having something for both AR and me! 
If you haven't heard of Beauty Box five it's a monthly subscription box. They send you five sample items to try out. Plus AR loved the bonus we got in ours. 
 It included
  •  Colour Me- Sky Blue Fragrance 
  • Mai Couture- blush and highlight papiers
  • PurLisse- blue lotus 4 in 1 eye adore serum 
  • Glamour Dolls- Spring Makeup collection 
  • Personail- custom floral nail polish wraps 
Okay I am in love with the eye adore serum! I have used it the past week and can tell such a difference. And noticed a little goes a very long way. Also the blush and highlight from Mai Couture-http://bit.ly/1oJiEfG this is perfect to throw in the purse or the diaper bag. So when you are out and about you don't have to worry about bringing your entire makeup bag. I mean seriously with two kids who has time to reapply makeup in public. Not this girl! 
Addie Rivers had a blast with the nail polish wraps and the bonus. Which was a washable flower tattoo. ADORBS. 
I know we will be so excited to see the mail man bring our April Beauty Box five box! 
What are your favorite subscription boxes!? 

Coconut Blueberry Muffins

"Coconut Blueberry Muffins"

  Happy Friday! 
My goodness I'm so pumped it's the weekend. This Saturday my husband has promised me he will get up with the kids and I can sleep in! Ahh that's seriously the best thing EVER. 
  Yesterday the kiddos and I made our yummy coconut blueberry muffins. These are made with coconut flour and coconut sugar so it eases this mamas mind when my 11 month old wants to eat three. His favorite food is a blueberry muffin.  
 I like to think that we eat heathy all of the time but who am I kidding. We don't! We definitely try but it doesn't always happen. 
So go ahead and try these for your Saturday morning breakfast! They are a favorite in our house!
