Coolest Tote Bag Mom

This tote bag definitely makes me the Coolest Woman on the Planet and my granddaughter agrees! That's all the reinforcement I need! When the kids suggested I come up with a Valentine's Day Tote Bag for Gramma's I could hardly wait to get to my design program. I love artsy designs and my granddaughter is a major source of inspiration. I loved the idea of a tote bag with something about my Lizzie on it. She's my special Angel.

Stick figures are always appropriate and anything with a heart in it reminds me of grammar school Valentine's Day Projects.

Remember playing post office in grammar school and creating those awesome valentines with spongy folded paper arms and legs attached to hearts? They always looked so cute. My favorite ones were made with paper heart doilies and silver glitter. My first grade teacher always gave us suckers to include with the valentines when we put them in our Post Office.

So, if you're still looking for a spiffy cool Valentine's Tote Bag, or maybe you just want a Tote Bag that says how much you love your little Angel, this is definitely the bag for you.

What do you grab last when you walk out the door?

There’s the jacket. It’s usually a streamlined light weight kind of jacket that goes with everything, and you hope nobody has spilled anything on it. Why? Because you were in too much of a hurry to get dinner on the table, kids fed and put to bed and whatever the hubby needed to hang up your coat. Never mind aligning it with the universe and buttoning it appropriately to keep it on the hanger.

There’s the keys. Usually lying on the desk or the table, if they aren’t in yesterday’s pockets. Where did you put the keys this time? Oh, yeah, the freezer. Your first activity after entering the house last night was to pull the roast out of the freezer for dinner. Of course, they’re right there on the lamb chops and frozen meatloaf!

There’s the purse. Your personal file cabinet and treasure trove, kept organized by stuffing. You know where it’s at, so long as nobody else gets into it. Mini-sized baggies keep things tidy, even when Jr. throws his half eaten snack bar in there to save it for later, EWWW! Or when the orange you took to work for lunch last week begins to get squishy. YUK!

There’s the tote bag. Almost without exception, there’s a tote bag for every purpose. There’s the Library bag, with returnable books, most of them get in there before they’re late to the library. There’s the stack of grocery bags, for when you’re headed to the grocery store (it’s uncool to use paper or plastic these days). There’s the brief case you carry into the office with yesterdays files you took home to finish - did you get that done? And there’s the kids toy bag that you carry, just in case you have to entertain Jr. while you wait, and wait, and wait… on someone else.

Women need totes.
