A stitch in time makes a great Valentine’s Day gift

All in favor of gorgeous diaper bags, say Oi.
I can't say that I mourn the fact that my diaper bag carrying days are over. But really, it's the diapers I'm glad to be over with, not the bags. Especially when they're as awesome as this one. When I got a first glimpse of this OiOi hobo sack in silver, the word...
Pillow fight!
