Kentucky Cupcake is my new home. Hopefully for some time to come.

Exciting news... though kind of random and it might be confusing.

Through the years I've changed websites numerous times as I've moved through various stages of life. It works for me. Sometimes I lose readers by doing this, but it's important to me that my online space reflects my offline place in life and I don't like certain associations that are sometimes made with certain blogs I've had.

Because of this, I am opening a domain that I intend on being my final online home for some time. I picked a name that I felt reflected my youth but I could also grow into. And as much as I love "Momfish" and what it stood for, I feel limited in what I can do with it and the audience I can reach. There are more aspects to my personality than "mom", and more things I'd like to blog about -- marriage, photography attempts, outing with friends, politics, and unwavering love of unhealthy foods.

I had planned on turning Momfish into a profitable venture where I targeted a specific readership niche, but I have friends outside of that niche and I miss sharing similarities and differences with them through this great big blogger world. While I'll still have to be very careful about what I share (considering the sensitivity of my profession... well... future profession when I choose to return to work), I also recognize that it's 2011 and people are more accepting than they used to be and expect their therapist to be human and not cold or rehearsed.

So. I hope you'll come along with me, you 5 readers that have managed to keep up with me through the reader. I'll announce the new site very soon.

I'm looking for the perfect 2 under diaper bag and I'm tired of looking. There are cons to every one of the ones I've seen... and a lot of the time it's the price. Almost $200 for a diaper bag? I just can't justify it.

So far I have bought this bag in red for overnight trips, aquarium trips, trips to the zoo, etc. Basically any time I'm going to be out for hours & hours without access to the car and with both babies.

It's a huge backpack. HUGE. And since I'm only 5'2", it looks kind of ridiculous on me. I was prepared for this though and ordered it anyway, knowing we're going to need something with lots of organizational pockets for those longer days/nights.

However, I still need something that is day to day. I have two diaper bags already. A personalized one that says "EVERLY" in huge pink letters on the front (so that one is out) and a small Kalencom bag my sister bought me at a boutique simply because of the name. While I love my Kalencom bag, it's very, very small and doesn't have any insulated pockets and the inside pockets are small and hard to reach into. It's one of the older generation styles and it just doesn't work the way I need it to. However, I'm a pretty light packer and I've appreciated the fact that I don't feel like I'm toting around a piece of luggage when I carry it.


DESIRED FEATURES
-Two outside pockets, preferably insulated. One for a sippy and one for a bottle.
-A key holder on an easy to access outside pocket
-A light colored interior so I can see inside
-Big enough to carry enough stuff for 2 babies, but not so big that it's bulky & riduclous
-Nothing babyish that couldn't look like a regular messenger/backpack/whatever
-Something gender and color neutral so Billy can carry it, too
-Ability to carry as a messenger back (and/or backpack)
-Padded shoulder straps for comfort
-Zip or strong magnetic closures because Everly (and playgroup babies) like going through diaper bags and taking everything out

Anybody have any recommendations?

Found this article on the Myths About Circumcision You Likely Believe to be pretty fascinating. Some of the myths include:

1) It doesn't hurt the baby
2) The baby won't remember it
3) It doesn't cause the baby any long-term harm
