I’M THIRTY!!! The big 3-0!
Today was a normal, hum-drum day. That’s what happens when you’re a mama and your birthday falls on a weekday :) The kids and I ate maple glazed old fashioned donuts as a treat for breakfast and Jem and I shared one of the new Pumpkin Spice bottled Frappuccino. When we bought the case at Costco Jemma specifically asked if she was old enough, now that she’s 6, to have more than one sip of my coffee. I told her that in honor of my birthday she could have half a coffee with me … I’ve never seen a happier little girl! #raisingacoffeequeen
We buzzed through schoolwork and joined friends at an indoor trampoline park to get out our wiggles. Afterwards, the kids said we should go to Panera for my birthday lunch and I obliged … nothing like a Turkey Bravo and Autumn Soup to celebrate! Reid went to town town on my turkey and he was literally licking his lips for more soup. We mega napped and woke just in time for an adventure when Mimi got home from school.
My mama made chicken pad thai for dinner and it was delish. Recipe coming soon because ohmygoodness it was fab! Dominic is out of town, hence my mama cooking, but he has made BIG promises to make up for missing my birthday with celebrations this weekend and Broadway tickets in Seattle next year! We’re going to see the King and I!
My littles are asleep now and I’m planning to binge watch all the Fall debuts that I have recorded, but I couldn’t close out the night without saying, “LILY JADE IS GIVING AWAY $250 TO ONE OF YOU IN HONOR OF MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!”
Will you choose a bag in the new charcoal grey color? Something with jade interior? The classy giant that can fit everything? My old love, the Madeline, or my new love the Rosie? Leave a comment with your dream bag and enter the giveaway below!
Thank you to Lily Jade for sending me the Rosie in Brandy. It’s the perfect size for this mama of 3 and even doubles as a hip briefcase of sorts when I sneak out to work at the coffee shop!
I would love Madeline in black! Perfect for work!
Oh my goodness! For so long I’ve been eyeing these bags now with my little girl on the way mama needs a stylin diaper bag. I love the Madeline in Brandy.
Oh goodness, they are all so beautiful. I don’t know if I can decide! The Madeline or the Rosie or even the Meghan would all be a dream to have, especially since I will have 2 under two soon! :)
I want a charcoal Elizabeth. I love the new jade colored lining! It’s gorgeous!
Such dreamy bags! Anything in that rich natural brown to be would be such a treat.
Oh MY goodness! I would DIE to win a Madeline in literally any color. We are expecting number 4 (shhhhhh) and none of my bags look presentable!
These are so BEAUTIFUL!
I love the Madeleine or the McKenna in camel!
Oooo I have wanted one of these for a while now!! Love the Rosie in brandy & jade!!
Loving the Madeline! So many choices when picking a diaper bag for the first time!
Happy birthday Gretchen! The Elizabeth in camel is amazing!
There wasn’t too many of those bonus entries I needed to do, only because I already stalk…I mean follow Gretchen and Lily Jade. Would love one of the bags for my first baby due end of April though! 🎒👜💼😍
Oh man… I don’t even know what I would pick. But it’d be a lot of fun to get to go shopping! :D
I LOVE the Cailin in Royal Purple… I have no idea why it’s in the Outlet because I think it’s such the prettiest color.
Happy Belated Birthday!
I am torn between the Meggan and the Elizabeth in Brandy and Jade. They look like fantastic bags, no wonder you rave about them SO much.
I love the Madeline in black or brown
Happy Birthday Gretchen! cute bag! I think the Madeline in green is kinda fun! 😄
I want a Rosie!!
Such a tough call, I think the Meggan. This mama needs something to convert to a bookbag (my favorite feature) with three boys 4 and under 🙈! Thanks for the opportunity.
I love the McKenna In Black!
Elizabeth in Brandy =)
Happy belated birthday! What an awesome giveaway! I’ve been eyeing a Meggan in black since we found out about the babies. I keep promising myself I’ll buy one eventually!
Happy birthday, sweet friend! I’ve ALWAYS loved the Elizabeth is camel. Such a dream! Especially since it can be worn as a backpack. My mama back needs a break!
The Madeline in brandy is beautiful! But so is the bag you have! Happiest of birthdays, Gretchen!
The Meggan in navy canvas is to die for! It’s my dream bag :)
Oh my! I love the Madeline in camel… so gorgeous!
I would love to have a Rosie in brandy!!
I am dreaming of the Elizabeth Red Canvas & Silver
I like the Shaylee Brandy & Jade.
Oh the Madeline in camel is just amazing and matches my new cowboy boots I got for my 30th
I love the Rosie in Brandy!!
I don’t have any, but I would ADORE Elizabeth in brandy and jade!!!!
Happy 30th Birthday!! I remember when I turned the big 3-0 got me thinking that I was going to be sad getting older. Actually I was wrong. We only get older and wiser. Having my daughters doesn’t make me feel old. I usually forget how old IAM. 😂
The bag I dream to have is the Elizbeth Brandy & Jade. The side pockets is what I love and the inside is washable! That is the best part 😍
https://www.lily-jade.com/designer-diaper-bags-p/eliz-brdy-jde-gld.htm
Yes, I agree! I think I genuinely like getting older these days :)
I love their Rosie Black & Red Bag! It is so pretty!
Hope you had a wonderful 30th! I’ve had my eye on the Brandy in black.
I love the Rosie!
Good Golly Miss Molly. Luv the rosie. . Thank you for the awesomeness, the contest, and generosity. :)
Its hard to chose just one but i really like madeline in red and silver. its a great pop of color for the fall and winter months.
I dream of Madeline with the light brandy & jade
I am dreaming of the Organizer In Jade, Product Code: BB-JDE-L-GLD. That is a special color and a useful item.
I’d LOVE a Madeline bag!
OMG! It is SO hard to pick one! I am in love with ALL of them! I think my first pick would be the Madeline Black and Red…but I also #love the Elizabeth Red Canvas & Silver and we can’t forget the Meggan Black Canvas & Silver! I really love them all!!
I love the Elizabeth in navy :)
so pretty! thanks!
Happy Birthday, dear friend!! Amazing giveaway! Seriously, they are all a dream to think about but I think I love the Madeline Brandy Jade most.
Happy birthday!! I’ve always loved all of their bags !😍
So hard to choose! I have the Madeline and love it but I want the Rosie!
How to choose a favorite?!? I want them all😁
I really like the Madeline .
Madeline in black
What fun bags! I love the clean lines of the McKenna in black.
I’ve been eyeing the Madeline in black! Absolutely gorgeous diaper bag that can double as a purse when going out! So cute, what an amazing g giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity
I love your Rosie! I have a black canvas Meggan and a camel Elizabeth. A brandy Caroline is on its way, but I’m dreaming of a black Rosie or black Shaylee!!
Madeline camel and jade. Thanks!
The Meggan or the Elizabeth would be awesome for all my work stuff! Right now i am using an old army backpack of my husband’s 😊
I love the Madeline in Brandy and Jade!! What a tough choice though!! They are all gorgeous!!
Love the Madeline, especially in Brandy. So lovely!
The Shaylee in Brandy with the jade interior is my dream bag!
My perfect bag would be a Madeline in Camel and Jade. So stunning!! Happy Belated birthday!! 😊
Elizabeth in Brandy (I think); actually there are several I LOVE but this is the one I come back to the most.
Happy belated birthday! (I can relate on the weekday-grown-up birthday issue!)
I love the Elizabeth in Camel!
I really like the Rosie but ALL of them are beautiful!!
Rosie! Love the unique shape!
I’d love the Meggan in Brandy!! I used to want the Madeline but the Meggan looks like it’s larger to fit all of our toddlers things, haha.
Rosie is too cute!
hard to choose. something in camel and jade for sure.
Love The Madeline!
Would get the madeline!
I love the Madeline bag! It is perfect!
I want the new gray so badly!!!
Beautiful Rosie bag! Six year olds have more accessories when traveling on “Momma and me” adventures than I had thought possible!
I love the Madeline camel and jade bag- what a perfect school bag it would be!
OMG so many awesome bags. Hard to pick only one. But first I want to buy Elizabeth Camel & Jade! so pretty.
Elizabeth Brandy & Jade
HBD!! And I feel like I want every LJ bag. I have a stalking issue w their website but think my favorite is the Meggan as I’ve always been an overpacker so feel the bigger the better!! Lol
I love love love lilyjade!
Oooh, I love my namesake bag! The Elizabeth, on brandy
McKenna! No… Madeline.. or Elizabeth..
I can’t decide!!
Caroline In Black is STUNNING I’m in desperate need of a new bag 😬
Hmmmm, tough choice indeed! MEGGAN NAVY CANVAS & SILVER or MCKENNA BRANDY & LAVENDER :)
A Shaylee or Rosie <3
Happy Birthday! Love the new grey color!
So awesome ! I’ve been fawning over Lily Jade for awhile now. I would probably choose a Rosie In charcoal. 😍
It’s so hard to choose one! Either Meggan or Rosie.
Happy birthday!!
Also, thank you for the opportunity to enter a fabulous giveaway <3
Oops! Forgot to say, I have a Cailin and love it (what would I give for a Cailin in charcoal and jade, with a backpack option like I’d been asked about? OMG that would be the PERFECT DREAM BAG!)
Although, I think I’d probably pick a Shaylee of the ones with a jade interior currently offered right now. I want the backpack option, but the outer pockets have to be a specific way and I think only Shaylee would give me that. Maybe Madeline, but I’m iffy about the flap . . . I’m pretty picky about my pockets!
The brandy shaylee’!!
Love Lily Jade and Rosie has always made my heart beat fast! Love at first sight 😍
I would be so so grateful to win a camel Madeline <3 Perfect for my 2nd baby coming in November ^_^
The Shaylee in brandy and jade!!
Charcoal Elizabeth. 😍
Happy birthday!! :)
Gah! How do I narrow it down to 1!? I can’t. Lol. I’d have to go with either charcoal Elizabeth or Brandy Rosie. Both look gorg.
I’ve had my eye on beautiful shaylee and rosie 🙈
I love the Elizabeth in charcoal and jade!!
Hope you had a wonderful birthday! I have my eyes on a black Rosie! My brand you Meggan needs a friend!
Definitely the Meggan
I’m totally in love with Rosie! I just ordered it in Camel and Jade. I can’t wait for it to arrive!!!
Happy belated birthday! My hubby turned 39 this yes we too! I keep reminding him it is just a number and your are only as old as you let yourself be!
Now those Lily Jade bags! I am drooling over the Gray Elizabeth (my new little boy is Grayson!), and the camel Rosie!
I think the Meggan. Orginally I wanted Elizabeth but the extra space in the Meggan looks amazing
Hope you’d an awesome celebration! And hope Reid will feel better soon. My boy’s gums have been bothering him too but we don’t have the space in the house for a glider. So it’s been pretty much mama being his glider around the house.
The Rosie looks gorgeous in you too!! It’s so my kind of style. So I’ve have to say the Rosie and in charcoal (because I love cool neutrals).
Thank you to lily jade for the wonderful giveaway.
I would love to try the new elizabeth!
Any really! But preferably charcoal Elizabeth or shaylee
I’m dreaming of Madeline and Shaylee in camel lately. It’s a toss up. I used to think Rosie was definitely my girl but have been having second thoughts. Thanks for a great giveaway and Happy Birthday!
How generous! I love the black Shaylee!
I would love to try the Rosie or Meggan
Happy birthday! I’d love a Madeline!
They keep coming out with new designs but I’ve followed them since the beginning and have always wanted an ELIZABETH in Camel!! :-) Thanks for this giveaway!
Loooove Lily Jade! I have the camel Rosie and it’s beautiful! I have my eye on the charcoal Elizabeth now though!!!
I want the Elizabeth or the Madeline in Black or Brandi so badly :) thanks for the giveaway and happy birthday
Happiest of Birthdays!!! I have LOVED my 30’s so far and wish the same for you ;)
I have been following (okay …. stalking!!) Lily Jade for a few months now. Every time I think I’ve “for sure” decided on my favorite, I change my mind within a few days!! Haha. SOOOOO many amazing options!!! But my “short list” of favorites is Rosie in camel/jade and Meggan in either brandy or charcoal (both with the new jade lining), I also LOVE the look of Shaylee in brandy, but since we recently found out that we’ll soon have 2 under 2 (so happy, but still slightly overwhelmed!) I know I’ll need one of the bigger bags. Fingers crossed!!! Thanks for the chance!
Obsessed with the Shaylee in black and the Elizabeth in gray!!!
The Elizabeth in any color!
Shaylee in Brandy is so beautiful!!!
A Madeline in Brandy would be amazing! Had my third little one four weeks ago and we are bursting at the seams here! 😆
I love lily jade and i sooo want one of the gray ones!!
I am dreaming of the rosie in black! I think it is the perfect bag to transition from baby bag to purse.
I would love anything in the new gray color! So pretty and my fave neutral color!
Sounds like a simple but wonderful way to celebrate your birthday! I would love the Rosie in charcoal!! 😍
Happy birthday and welcome to 30!! I love your pics, I think I’d have to debate between Rosie and Meggan!
Happiest of birthdays, Gretchen! I’m crushing on the Meggan in canvas!
I’ve been dreaming of a brandy Shaylee forever now! I have faith that one day I’ll obtain one!
Love this! And lily jade! I am dying to get my hands on a brandy Shaylee with the new teal lining 😍😍😍
Happy birthday and thank you for this opportunity! I would love to get a gray Meggan!
I’m so torn between a Madeline in black or Rosie in brandy. I love the leather so, so much! Lily Jade is so generous. I hope you love your Rosie!
Rosie or Meggan in brandy or black
The new Meggan in gray.. the lining is everything!
Madeline in black leather would be amazing!
I would love a brandy Meggan!!
A Meggan! Or maybe a Rosie.
There’s no wrong choice!
If I won I think it would be between the Camel and black color. ‘Maybe a Madeline or a Shaylee.
I would love a Meggan, but the Rosie is gorgeous especially with the backpack option. I’m torn!
I would love a Shaylee or Madeline. I’ve been eyeing these bags for such a long time and they look perfect in every way.
Happiest of birthdays!!! Hope you enjoyed Costco and Panera. I really miss those places! Haha. Your kids are adorable. Ps- I’m imagining your Rosie, but in charcoal! These bags are absolutely lovely.
Classic giant bag in brown would be a dream! Having our first baby girl in February, love love love these bags!
How do you choose just one?!?
I would choose the Rosie in brandy!
Madeline in camel is haunting my dreams!
I love them all!! Especially the Elizabeth!
I’d love something in charcoal! That new color is gorgeous!
Thanks for the great giveaway! I love lily jade!
I’d love to try a LJ bag, they look so beautiful
I dreamed of the Madeline in brandy, but now I can’t decide if I want the Rosie in brandy or charcoal! 😮😬😍😍😍 Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m dreaming of a charcoal Meggan!!! Thank you for this opportunity.
I would love a Rosie or Elizabeth in Camel…maybe a Meggan in Brandy?? How to decide?!
I have a Cailin right now and love her, but am hoping to be able to get one of the new gray bags… Now just to decide which one!!! Thank you for this chance to win one! :-)
Love the bag! So classy
My dream bag is n Elizabeth in Camel and Jade! Hoping to win one one of these days since it’s not in our budget. I’ve had to settle for a leather tote I bought on Zulily until my Lily Jade dreams come true!

I would love to try a new charcoal Madeline. It looks lovely.

Love the Madeline in Brandy!
the Rosie has always been my favorite, but never considered it bc it wasn’t a backpack. Would Love the brand new one now that they have added that feature.
I love them all! However, I am dreaming about the new camel madeline with jade interior.
