I Like Big Bags (and I Cannot Lie)

Three essential purses you need

You sang the title, didn’t you? Okay, if you didn’t - start over and let your inner Sir Mix-a-Lot shine! If you can relate more to this title than the original, you’re in the right place.


Let’s be real for a second. Life is BANANAS ( B A N A N A S - cue Gwen Stefani. 🎶 Sorry, I'm done now. 😂


If you’re in the heart of the baby/toddler phase or in the live out of your car, kid activity phase or even the official chauffeur stage - you need that one trusty sidekick that keeps your life together … YOUR PURSE! Specifically, a purse that can hold your entire life (and then some). There are basically three essential purses you need.


The Big Bag: You know the one. It holds the diapers, snacks, water bottles, tampons, makeup bag, the extra set of car keys (since when do we not need to put them in the ignition - I swear this whole looking for a key fob to start my car will be the end of me).


The Crossbody: Because hands. When you have littles or are running a million errands, you need your hands free to grab your kids out of the way of the crazy driver in the parking lot or hands free for your phone and a coffee.


The Dress Purse: You have to have one purse that you can dig out when it’s finally your turn to go out! It looks cute with heels and fresh makeup (and only needs to hold a credit card, lipstick and your phone).


Why You Need a Big Bag That Holds It All

Picture this: You’re at Target (a mom’s natural habitat). You’ve got one kid begging for something they swore they had to have, another kid crying because who knows why, and your phone is buzzing because the teenager left their shoes at home again. Oh, and you walked past the Starbucks so that made everybody mad (including you). In moments like these, you need your purse sidekick to come through … big time.


Big bags let you be prepared for everything. Blowout diaper? You’ve got extra clothes tucked in there. Emergency snack request? Boom, goldfish crackers for days. Need to carry a book, a laptop, band-aids, maybe even the kitchen sink, who knows. Girl, you’re covered.


Big bags are basically portable mom caves, they hold all the things (and all the secrets). And, a little pro shopping tip - look for the bag bags that have a smaller bag that comes inside (a lot do)! It's basically buying two bags for one and that's a life win!


Why Crossbody Bags Are Every Busy Mom’s BFF

While big bags are the MVPs of storage, crossbody bags are the unsung heroes of practicality. Hands-free, lightweight, and stylish? Yes, please! Crossbody bags let you tackle life head-on without worrying about where to put your purse while you're chasing a toddler or rushing through the store at warp speed.


They’re perfect for:

  • Grocery runs when your hands are already full, because you swore you could get a few items and just grab a basket (btw, this is always a mistake … every.single.time).

  • Traveling - keep your ID at the ready and you won’t set it down and accidentally forget it. Also public bathrooms - ewww. Keep it on the body.

  • Shopping day with a girlfriend - okay, we know these days are rare, but save one hand for browsing and the other will hopefully have something caffeinated and delicious.

Crossbody bags might be smaller, but don’t underestimate them. They’ve got just enough room for the essentials!


A Rare Beauty: The Dressy Clutch

Now let’s talk about the true unicorn of your bag collection: the dressy clutch. This little beauty is the bag equivalent of that pair of heels you only wear for date night or girls' night out. It’s small, sleek, and oh-so-stylish, perfectly suited for evenings when your only responsibility is to sip wine and remember what life felt like pre-diaper bags.


While it might not hold much more than your phone, lipstick, and maybe a credit card, that’s the point. It’s a bag that’s all about you for a change. So when the stars align, the babysitter shows up, and you get to trade yoga pants for something that sparkles, make sure you’ve got this clutch in hand. It’s your reminder that, yes, you’ve still got it.


The Perfect Bag 

Your life demands options. Some days you need the Big Bag energy, and other days, you’re rocking the Crossbody Queen vibe, and the rare beauty clutch comes out just when you were starting to wonder what a date was. Think of it as building your Mom Arsenal — different bags for different battles.


But whatever you choose, make sure it fits your style and makes you feel fabulous. And remember, you don’t have to sacrifice style for functionality. Whether you’re running errands, chasing kids, or just trying to make it through the day without losing your sanity, the right bag can make your life so much easier. So go ahead, embrace the big bag or the crossbody (or both). Your bag should be as versatile as you are!


Time to rock your day — with your bag packed, your hands free, and your sanity (mostly) intact.
