Leighanne Littrell: Wylee Inspiration

My son was my inspiration for this bag line. His name is Baylee Thomas Wylee Littrell. I guess you could say my husband was too.

You see my husband is an entertainer and that means we travel, A LOT.  After I had my son, we started flying with him by the age of 3 months. I was breastfeeding at the time and used a breastfeeding pillow. I loved having the breastfeeding pillow on the plane with me because it was perfect for Baylee  to sleep on as well as to feed him on. The only problem with this is that the pillow is a funny shape and I didn't have a bag that would hold the pillow and all the other things that go into a diaper bag: diapers, baby wipes, medicines,…etc. We would schlep it through the airport and on occasion it would fall on the floor of the airport. This was absolutely terrifying to me. All of those germs!! And my baby was to lie on this? Oh no no no!  So one day I bought a sewing machine (I never sewed on one in my life) and took a sheet and started making a bag. I made the pattern and started using the bag. Before long I worked out the kinks and viola, I had the perfect bag for me.  People would give me compliments and I ended up making a few for gifts, and then started selling quite a few.

These bags hold everything and are functional as well as beautiful. I made this diaper bag a backpack for a reason. Often I would use a carrier to hold Baylee so I could have my hands free, not to mention that babies seem to really like them. And when we would travel, it was great to have him on my front and the diaper bag on my back. The diaper bag stays secure so when I lean over it doesn't fall off my shoulder. I still have my arms free! Alas, I can still hold tickets, purchase food,……whatever and not have to put anything down or worry about holding Baylee.

After Baylee stopped breastfeeding, I made a smaller bag that we could put his things in, now our diaper bag holds DVD players, movies, coloring books, crayons, toy trains, you name it. I also use the backpacks as my bag when I don't' have Baylee.

My life is my family so it is important to live everyday to the fullest and to alleviate as much stress as possible. My husband and I have been carrying these backpacks for over a year now and we love them. We hope that you enjoy them as much as we do.

Thank you very much, and God Bless
