I love love love this tote! I am so sick of having to carry a diaper bag around.  There are no stylish diaper bags either — trust me.  When I got this tote, I instantly fell in love with it (I took this picture when I first got it, hence the tag still being on there).  The fabric of the tote is both very cool looking and and very functional too.  It is actually made from upholstery fabrics, so you know it can handle the test of children and pretty much everything else you can throw at it. This is seriously the perfect briefcase, weekend bag, carry-on, sports bag, large purse, or a diaper bag/purse (like I use it).  The tote has reinforced handles, 5 interior pockets, magnetic closure and can be made with a vinyl bottom so you don’t have to worry where you set it down.  Now, I can get 5 diapers, wipes, Desitin, a change of clothes for Will (my one year old), a couple of toys, my wallet, my cell phone, and snacks in here and still have plenty of room.  I love that I can be fashionable and still have everything I need with me.

This is the perfect gift for the moms in your life (though I am pretty sure any woman in your life would like one of these totes).  Make sure you check out Sharp Hill Designs for all the different fabrics you can choose from.  There is definitely something there for everyone.

My family and l luck out.  We have plenty of credit cards at our disposal when I want to do some online shopping.  However, not everyone can get a credit card, or if they have one, it is only for emergency purposes.  What do you do when you want to shop and not use a credit card?

EBillMe comes to the rescue and allows you to pay cash online by using the bill pay portion of your checking account. I personally tried out this service yesterday, and it is super easy to use. First, I went to Tiger Direct to order a Wii game.  You click on the add to cart just like you normally would.  Then click on proceed to secure check out.  Fill in all your information and where it says “submit order” pick eBillMe.  That’s it!  You now have ordered using your checking account!  Now, on the screen you will have what you need to set up payment through your bank.  You also will get an email too!  Everybody’s bill pay is different, so I won’t go through how to set that up, but they make it super easy by giving you everything you need.  I didn’t take me any longer to buy my game  this way verses using a credit card (that is because it usually takes me a while to find my purse and wallet that has my credit card).

If you prefer not to shop online using your credit card, I highly recommend EBillMe.  This is also a great way to shop if you don’t want to be handing out your credit card number too!
