With the Holidays quickly approaching, you just might find this Momma in a bit of a crazy mode. Ahhh who am I kidding? On any given day during the school year, this crew is ON-THE-GO! I know a lot of my readers are on-the-go as well. Being a mom the To-Do list is never ending and we are constantly on the move between grocery shopping, making school lunches, birthday parties, ballet and lacrosse!
That is the short list, I need a nap thinking about all of it. I am always on the look out for simple pieces that not only make me feel good but that are comfy and easy. Moms on the go need outfits that can go from errands to dinner and from workouts to pickups. So I am sharing my top mom on the go essentials. Mommas are busy and with these few essentials you can relax and concentrate on shopping for others, decorating, Christmas parties, and wrapping presents to put under the tree for the rest of the month!
Mom on the Go Style: Essentials Every Busy Momma Needs
Functional Bag
My No. 1 necessity as a mom on the go is a cute and functional bag. There are so many good bags out there, but my Go-To bag hands down is the MZ WALLACE METRO TOTE. I have had mine for a few years now and it still looks brand new. If ANYONE asks me if I could only buy one bag, I will answer without hesitation this tote. It is just that good. It is the bag that people stop me and ask where they can get one. I call it my Mary Poppins bag because I can literally stuff anything in it and it fits.
When the kids were little a BACKPACK was just about the only bag I used. It kept me hands free to grab them whenever I needed. Now that they have gotten older I have graduated to a CROSSBODY. And OBVIOUSLY I am obsessed with MZWALLACE. But a cute bucket bag or tote are always an amazing option as well for us busy mommas!
Make-up Bag
From a cute make-up bag to all the necessities that go in it. You never know what you’re going to need when running around and picking up the kiddos. The one thing I have purchased that I use the most is the MINI WET BRUSH. Audrey’s hair can get a bit wild and it’s comes in quite handy! And I don’t go anywhere with out my KOPARI LIP GLOSSY.
Activewear
If I could live in anything, it would be athleisure. Thank goodness for so many amazing options. Leggings are effortless but you can make them look like you put in a ton of effort. Once you’re done with workout, throw over a cute jacket or chunky sweater to go meet friends for lunch and none will be the wiser that you just burned all those calories. I am almost embarrassed to admit how many times I have worn my SPANX FAUX LEATHER LEGGINGS. But if you owned them, you would have them on repeat as well! Promise!
Mom Jeans
They are cute. You can wear them with anything. They are high-waisted and comfy for running after and around the kiddos!

Layers
You can totally make an outfit complete by varying your layers. A cute cotton dress with a duster cardigan or a graphic tee under a cute jacket can make you feel good about your outfit. You might even have a little pep in your step at pickup! These pieces are mom friendly and your mom style will be upgraded a notch!
BB DAKOTA TEDDY JACKET (NEW Customer use CODE:15forme) | GRAPHIC TEE (OLD) | AGOLDE DENIM
These essentials have become staples in my wardrobe! Now if I can only find a local food truck that sells grilled cheeses with tomato soup during all my running, I would be golden.
