Mammas got a brand new bag!

A good bag for carrying miscellanea is a pretty essential thing for moms (and non-moms) while touring anywhere and everywhere. Now that my kiddies are older, I'm so thankful I don't have to include extra clothes, diapers, snacks, etc.

This is a Vera Bradley "Hipster." It has a really long strap to sling across my mom-body and a decent size compartment to carry all the nonsense we incur. Wallets, tickets, maps, a small package of WetWipes, anti-bac gel, cell phones, and a few little snacks or granola bars, just in case. I really love it.

It's small, so it limits me. Whenever I carry a back-pack (as in previous years) I'm just so inclined to fill it up with stuff I don't really need. I think as parents we always feel like we have to prepare for all the what-ifs. We get it in our mind that we're going on an 80 day expedition to the end of civilization... whereas, anything you could ever need or want will be within a few minutes drive or walk (when we vacation). So, trying to limit myself, and I got a new bag to do so! yay!
