Maya Polton is a former marketing manager and current freelance writer who covers food, home, and parenting. She’s also the mom of an 11-year-old son, 7-year-old son, and 3-year old daughter. Maya certainly had diaper bags for all three kids and moved from a tote to a backpack, probably because with more kids, she had to carry along more snacks, toys, and trinkets for each kid.
