For the family large to small, here is a list of my most useful bags that make being on the go, easy and stylish + reasons why they make the cut.
I Will Create Pro Large Storage Bag
This polka dot bag is incredible. And very large. So large that my daughters are embarrassed when I use it. That’s ok, daughters, I’m still using it. Because it saves me from carrying the multiple smaller bags that cause a thousand trips back and forth to the car. My life…so much easier since owning this #largeandincharge bag.
For Sleepovers:
You can put a pillow, sleeping bag and overnight bag in here, and there’s still room for more. Plus, it keeps all the blankets and pillows off the dirty floors of cars and houses (think mud room).
For Ski Trips:
This held my entire family of 5’s outerwear, boots and miscellaneous clothing that you’d need for a day of skiing.
For Birthday Parties:
We recently had a sleepover birthday party for my daughter at the Marriott Portsmouth Downtown hotel. I was able to put all the party favors and birthday supplies inside, including my silk pillow and winter coats (since we always get blessed by the unpredicted Spring snowstorm that comes from nowhere). The next morning, at party’s end, it was perfect for carrying out all the gifts from a party of 12 teenage girls.
For Road Trips to Anywhere:
Stuff anything in it you want. #itallfits.
Tumi Larkin Annandale Duffel 
This one is what I call a very good investment. It will literally last me forever and then some. From resort vacations to grueling state to state moves, the Tumi duffel stands the test of time and travel, yet remains looking new. It’s the perfect on-the-go weekender bag – easy and stylish. I can’t say enough great things about it! Plus, it fits perfectly “underneath the seat in front of you so is ideal as carryon luggage.” 😉
Thirty-One Deluxe Utility Tote
As the name says, it’s the perfect utility tote. 31 might not like me saying this, but truth be told, it works even better if you take out the metal frame. Don’t tell them, OK?
2 Beach Bag favorites:
Cathy’s Concepts Personalized Striped Canvas Tote
Aloha Stripe Zipper Waterproof Tote
Humble Chic Crossbody Bag or Wristlet
We all need a clutch. They’re so versatile. Carry alone or drop it into a larger bag. In all the time I was in diaper bag mode, I refused to carry separate pocketbook and diaper bag on my shoulder. Needless to say, I have many clutches. This one happens to be my latest favorite because it’s vegan leather, very affordable, soft, comes in 14 different colors and holds A LOT of stuff, to include your phone. #soclutch
NOA Leather Diaper Bag by Storksak
And since we’re talking about diaper bags, I’d be remiss if I didn’t share the one I carried for my last baby boy. Mine was nylon canvas, exact same style as this. If they offered leather back then, I would have jumped on it.
Truthfully, I could go on and on with handbag suggestions. But we don’t have all year?
