(ContentDesk) July 20, 2004 -- Women continue to make steady progress towards equality in the workplace. Now women are making progress towards equality on the home front. How? By tapping into their resources, including their husbands. Increasingly, men and women are both juggling the demands of a career and a family. The demands are not equal, however.
Traditionally, women have been the primary caregivers. Still so today. Relinquish that role? Never. We have the natural instincts. But share that role? Now, that makes some sense.The challenge? Let's face it: Most men are not very domestic.
Organize the power tools? Mow the lawn? Great. But change the baby, that's a different story altogether. Not that men don't want to be helpful. They do (really). They just don't always know (or understand) what to do, especially concerning babies, particularly infants.Here's my secret: Help him liberate you.
Impossible? Absolutely not. Give him the tools to be helpful, starting with an appropriate diaper bag. A diaper bag he's not going to refuse to carry (with cartoons or flowery designs). A diaper bag that helps him stay organized.Men don't like to hold our purses. So we shouldn't expect them to carry diaper bags that look like purses.
My husband and I couldn't find a diaper bag that we both liked. So I took the initiative and made one for us.
I received so many compliments on the bag, as well as my helpful husband, that I decided to go into business manufacturing diaper bags for men.
I also designed a diaper bag "helper kit" to help new fathers pack the diaper bag.Marek Lorenc, M.D., father of two small children, states: "I like the separate compartments; it's much healthier to keep baby bottles away from soiled clothes." Marilyn T. from Houston says: "Thank you Hannah Styles!" Melanie G.
from Ft. Lauderdale, says, "I bought one for my husband, now I have to 'borrow' it ." Denise A. from Los Angeles says, "I simply pack the diaper bag for him and send them off to the park." Todd G. from Canada adds, "The backpack style diaper bag gives me two free hands for my two twins." Mark S. from New York says: "As a new father, I didn't know what to pack.
With the diaper bag helper kit, I got organized and stayed organized."Hannah adds, "I designed the Hannah Styles diaper bags for men, and I had hoped that women would see the benefits of purchasing one for new fathers. I'm glad that it's catching on." Women are becoming liberated with the help of their husbands.

Spring into Style
Spring is simply my favorite time of the year.
Every year, around this time, the major fashion houses in the world release their new designs to the hungry masses.
This season is certainly no exception, and some of the bags I have seen so far are simply amazing!
We all have certain designers that we have grown to love and trust, but some of the new players out there have really impressed me this year.
If you love purses and handbags the way I do, check out some of these new releases.
I have always been in love with Prada handbags.
In fact, it was Prada that first inspired my love affair with purses.
To be perfectly honest, I have never seen a Prada bag that I didn't love.
This year they have impressed me to no end.
Words cannot describe the feeling I get when I see this bag.
I am talking about the new Prada/Jute Snakeskin Hobo.
For those you that love a bit of glitz and glamour, you...
