I can’t get over how this Summer has flown by and man we have really been on the go! We went to Marco Island, we did a staycation at the Ritz Key Biscayne, we lived in Aspen for the month of July and finally we are back home for the month of August. While I was looking forward to some downtown, since arriving back we been busy with summer camps, day trips, and whatever else has come up! It’s been a whirlwind to say the least!
Whether it’s been a day trip or a long vacation, we somehow manage to pack a ton {I guess that’s what happens when you have kids!}, so new bags for the whole family were on my radar well before summer began. I ended up picking out a variety of Parkland Backpacks, Travel Bags, Computer and iPad Cases so we would be ready to rock, and they have really served us well. First of all, I love that they are super stylish and great quality. The kids love the bright and fun designs {and with various sizing options, the backpacks are perfect for kids of all ages}. Meanwhile, I am a recent backpack convert {especially for travel} because I have so much to carry that it’s definitely the most practical bag for traveling pregnant! My husband loves that the backpacks have a built in sleeve for your laptop, a water bottle pocket, and water resistant bottoms. And for carry-on or overnight trips we love the duffles {I even just packed mine as my hospital bag for when the baby comes!}. The prints are so so fun that the kids can’t wait to use their backpacks for school!
Here’s a list of everything I picked out for us and the kids, because from back-to-school, to upcoming Fall and Holiday travel, to gifts, these are amazing ideas for the whole family!! Here is what we chose:
- Amanda’s Backpack: Parkland Meadow Backpack in Glades
