Personalized Overnight Bags for Visits to Mom's House or Dad's House

Thursday October 2, 2008
Does your child have a specific bag for overnight visits to Moms' house or Dad's house? I recently came across this cute tote bag, which would be useful for transporting things like toys and books.

What I like about it is that you can personalize it, not only with your child's name, but also with the name of the place they're going. For example, you could change it to say "Going to Dad's House." What a neat way to show your support of your child's overnight visitation time!

Or, you could purchase two tote bags, one that says "Going to Mom's House" and one that says "Going to Dad's House," and get into the habit of using them to transport important items between your homes on a regular basis (such as school papers, books, or your child's favorite can't-sleep-without-it stuffed animal).

In addition, designating a specific piece of luggage just for overnights will help your child keep track of all the toiletries, clothes, and gear that regularly get transported between your two homes. It also makes it easier for your kids to begin packing and unpacking on their own, which means less work for you.
