When it comes to preparing for a successful day at school, having the right backpack essentials can make all the difference. Whether you have a little one heading to elementary school or you're a college student navigating campus life, here are some must-have items to pack in your backpack. Notebooks and Pens Stay organized and ready to take notes with a few notebooks and pens. Choose notebooks with durable covers and lined pages. Having a variety of pen colors can also help you color-code your notes for better organization. Sticky notes are another great thing to toss in your backpack for reminders and notes. For the little ones, don't forget to pack pencils, a pencil sharpener, crayons, markers, a ruler, glue sticks, scissors, and even some white out! We love to organize these small backpack essentials in The Clear Pouch Trio Set. The Medium Pouch is perfect for a spare outfit, snacks, and personal items. The Small Pouch makes for a great pencil, pen, etc. case! Planner & Folder Stay organized and manage your time effectively with a planner. Write down important dates, deadlines, and assignments to stay on top of your academic responsibilities. This will help you avoid last-minute cramming and reduce stress. Be sure to grab a folder or even one for each class to keep papers and important assignments organized. Water Bottle & Snacks Staying hydrated throughout the day is crucial for maintaining focus and concentration. Keep your energy levels up with healthy snacks. Opt for portable options like granola bars, trail mix, or fruit. These will provide a quick boost when you need it most, whether it's during a long lecture or a study session. We love to pack snacks in the LunchBots Snack Container! Laptop or Tablet In today's digital age, having a laptop or tablet is essential for students. It allows you to access online resources, take notes electronically, and complete assignments. Make sure to invest in a reliable device that suits your needs. Portable Charger Don't let a dead battery hinder your productivity. A portable charger can be a lifesaver when you're on the go and need to charge your devices--especially your phone. Look for one with multiple USB ports and sufficient battery capacity. Personal Care Items Don't forget about personal care! Pack essentials like hand sanitizer, tissues, and lip balm to keep yourself clean and comfortable throughout the day. These small items can make a big difference in your overall well-being. You can even toss in some band-aids--you never know when you or a classmate might need one. Extra Clothes or Layers Be prepared for temperature changes or spills by packing an extra set of clothes or layers. This is especially important for younger students who may have accidents or get messy during art projects. It's always better to have a spare set of clothes on hand. By including these backpack must-haves, you or your little one will be well-equipped to tackle any challenges that come your way during the school day. P.S.

As we're heading into summer, organization is key, especially for Moms. We're sharing three products that will help make your life easier, keep you and your little one(s) organized, and allow you to enjoy more time with your littles. ToteSavvy Mini The ToteSavvy Mini is the perfect way to organize your everyday essentials, and your littles one's, too! There's various sized pockets to pack diapers, wipes, a bottle or sippy cup, and more. Simply place your packed ToteSavvy Mini in your favorite handbag, tote, or backpack, and you're ready to go! Crossbody Change Kit For all of your summertime adventures with your little one, this hands free micro diaper bag allows you to pack the essentials without having to lug around your heavy baby bag! You can pack diapers and wipes that have an easy-access window, a changing pad is included, add in a snack or two, your card holder and keys, and don't forget the hand sanitizer. The Crossbody Change Kit is ideal for park play dates, walks in the park, quick trips to Target, you know, "running errands", and even baseball games or sporting events. Clear Pouch Trio Set From baby essentials packed in your tote to toiletries for travel or even a car kit filled with entertainment for your toddler, the Clear Pouches will be a go-to organization essential. Whether you use all three together or a couple individually, you'll be reaching to use one every day.  They're great for packing snacks, the Small is a great on-the-go makeup bag or even paci clips, teethers, and utensils, and the Large is perfect for spare clothing! Be sure to follow us on Instagram to see daily packing inspiration using all of our ToteSavvy products.

The ToteSavvy Clear Pouch Trio Set is so versatile and it now comes in two gorgeous colors--Crème & Black! You can use them to organize your travel bag or your baby bag, use them to pack a car kit for your toddler, organize your work bag, and more! Today, we're sharing seven ways you can use them to stay organized. Travel Bag Heading on a trip soon? Use the Clear Pouch Trio Set to organize your carry on bag. The large pouch is great for your planner, a notebook, headphones, or even your laptop--the 13" MacBook Air fits in the large perfectly. The medium pouch can hold your snacks (you always need snacks!), drink mixes, your sunnies, and even your travel jewelry case if you'd like to keep it with you vs in your suitcase. The small pouch is great to use as a travel makeup bag. It might not hold all of your makeup if you travel with a lot, but we love using it for on-the-go touch ups, especially after a long day of travel. Suitcase Organization If you've been looking for a way to organize your travel essentials and toiletries, the Clear Pouches will be your new go-to. The large pouch holds tall hair sprays and styling products and the medium pouch is great for shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and a travel hair brush. The small pouch is great for makeup just like in the travel bag! Baby Bag Organizing a baby bag is a strategic task--you need so many essentials at your fingertips, and having them organized is crucial. In the large pouch, think of larger baby essentials like a swaddle, change of clothes (or two!), and a lovey toy. The medium pouch is an ideal size for diapers, wipes, a changing mat, diaper rash cream, hand sanitizer spray, and tissues. The small pouch is perfect for your little one's paci clips, teethers, and spoons and forks. Packing them in the clear pouch keeps them clean and all in one place so a paci is easy to grab when you really need it. Toddler Car Kit If you're headed on a long road trip with your toddler, a car kit is a necessity. Even with easy-access shows and endless Bluey, they still need other things to entertain them. We love filling the clear pouches with some of their favorite toys and mess-free activities. In the large pouch, pack things like reusable sticker books, board books, and mess-free coloring books. In the medium pouch, you can pack a few of their smaller toys like a play phone, learning tablet, or popper. Toddlers love poppers. In the small pouch, pack a few easy-access snacks for them that they can open on their own. Pouches and fruit strips are a must-have when we pack our car kit! Pool/Beach Bag When you're headed to the pool or beach, having a way to pack your essentials to keep them dry and sand-free is a must-have. Whether you're headed with your little one or on your own, we love to use the Clear Pouches for pool and beach trips. If you're with your little one, the large pouch can be used for diaper changing essentials, swim diapers, their swim suit, and a change of clothes. The medium pouch can hold snacks for you and your little one. In the small pouch, we pack sunscreen and a makeup brush to apply the sunscreen to your little one's face. It's the easiest way to blend it all in and make sure their sensitive skin is protected. Hospital Bag If you're currently stressing out about how you're going to organize your hospital bag when you have your sweet baby (or know someone that is), Clear Pouches will help keep everything organized--even your partner will be able to help find everything! The large pouch is great to dedicate to your little one--from their announcement outfit, outfits you want them to wear in the hospital, swaddle, wooden sign (you know we all get one now!), and yes, even accessories! The medium pouch is great to put your toiletries. You won't need much during your stay, but having your shampoo, conditioner, face wash, toothbrush, skincare, etc. will help you feel so much better. The small pouch we used for makeup--you most likely won't need much, but having your makeup for touchups if you plan to take pictures in the hospital with your new addition is a must. OH! Don't forget to pack an extra hair tie or two and chapstick--actual must-haves. Work Bag Head into the office stylish and organized! The Clear Pouch Trio Set helps you organize your gorgeous work tote and keeps your essentials right at your fingertips. The Large Pouch fits up to a 13" laptop--the MacBook Air is shown in the large pouch above along with a full-size planner. The Medium Pouch can hold all your note taking essentials--whether you use a pen and notepad, an iPad, or both! The Small Pouch is perfect for your glasses, tampons, portable charger, card holder, keys, and collapsable phone stand. Keep your smaller essentials together in one place instead of being buried at the bottom of your bag. Happy packing!

Often times, we end up focusing more on what the baby needs versus what we need as new moms to recover. The more we focus on ourselves, especially in those first few days postpartum, the better our recovery will be, and the easier it will be to take care of that sweet newborn baby. Postpartum is not easy by any means--it's filled with blood, sweat, and tears, cause dang, postpartum hormones are crazy! We wanted to share our top 10 favorite products that will help your postpartum journey be just a little bit easier. Frida Postpartum Recovery Kit This kit from Frida Mom has so many amazing essentials that you will find helpful. We know that hospitals usually send you home with a bag full of essentials, but I personally found that the Frida Mom essentials were better than what I received from the hospital, and helped my healing. From the disposable undies, (I like to call these the fancy ones--you know, the ones you wear when family come over to visit and see the baby in those first couple of weeks) to the Frida Mom Perineal Healing Foam and cooling pads, you will want this kit. The Healing Foam is an actual game-changer, and I highly recommend grabbing an extra one--a few pumps of the Healing Foam on your pad makes everything feel just a little bit better. Clear Pouch Trio Set The Clear Pouch Trio Set is the key to keeping all of this organized. Whether you have a basket on the back of the toilet or throw everything on the bathroom counter, this set will help you keep your pads, disposable undies, tablets, and cooling kits organized so they're easy to find and grab when you need them. The best part--you can now choose from the gorgeous crème color or our brand new color--black! Frida Peri Bottle This is another one of those better than the hospital items. The one the hospital gives you doesn't quite aim the way you need it to, and it doesn't hold as much water. The Frida Peri Bottle squirts at pretty much any angle you need it, it holds plenty of water, and it helps you feel clean and fresh...since hopefully you already know, toilet paper will hurt like a mother. Frida Sitz Bath Tablets Oh, the first bath postpartum is the worst and the best all at the same time. The worst--mainly because you don't know what to expect once you hit the water, and the best, because you're finally getting your body clean and refreshed after giving birth. These Sitz Bath Tablets are pre-measured, so you can pop one in a warm bath and relax your way to postpartum healing. Always Discreet Boutique Disposable Undies You will be fabulous in your disposable undies--it's what all the postpartum moms are wearing. haha! In all seriousness, these undies make postpartum recovery so much easier. A hack to make the undies last longer is to line them with an Always Discreet Boutique Pad. This way, you switch out the pad and don't waste the disposable undies each trip to the bathroom. High-Waisted Undies When you finally feel ready to upgrade back to regular undies, these ones from Target are so comfortable and stretchy. They don't press into your stomach--especially if you've just had a C-Section. Breast Therapy Ice Packs Whether you're breast feeding or not, these Ice Packs will be a must-have--at least for the first week or so--even longer depending on your body. Definitely recommend having these on hand! Nursing/Maternity Bras You'll want to be comfy and feel supported! These nursing/maternity bras are so comfortable and there is a 6-clasp closure so you can adjust sizing based on your postpartum journey. It also has the easy-access cups for convenient access. Nursing Pads These reusable nursing pads will be a game-changer to put in your nursing bra--not only will they keep leaks confined, they will help keep your clothes from being ruined from leaking stains! Tucks Cooling Kit This cooling kit is heavenly when it comes to postpartum recovery. The pads help to cool and then cream helps to numb and soothe. There's all sorts of things happening down there, and you'll want a little numbing/soothing action. Microwavable Heating Pad You would think that the contraction-like cramps would be done after your little ones is born, but, as your body is healing and recovering, you will experience some cramping. A heating pad is so easy to toss in the microwave and it will give you some relief. Pin Me For Later! What are some items that were a must-have in your Postpartum Recovery Kit?

We get asked all the time on Instagram if we have an organizer that will fit a backpack, and the answer to that is YES!! Our Mini Bag Organizer is the perfect size for most backpacks and can help you stay organized no matter what you're packing for. The most requested to see was baby & toddler backpacks and everyday backpacks, so that's what we'll be focusing on in this post! A backpack for you & your toddler // When it comes to packing for your and your toddler, you still find yourself needing diapers, wipes, an extra outfit, and an endless supply of snacks. The ToteSavvy Mini helps keep these essentials organized. Don't forget, the Mini has an included changing mat, insulated pocket, and the center pocket fits a full-size wallet. The Go Dash Dot Maya Backpack is a great option to use, too! It fits the Mini and your essentials perfectly, and there are several additional pockets that you can still use for other essentials. The bottom of the backpack has quite a large pocket that is perfect for spare clothes for you & your toddler, an extra pair of play shoes, or even a picnic blanket if you're headed out for a park lunch date! A backpack for you & baby // The Dagne Dover Dune Backpack and the ToteSavvy Mini in Almond are a gorgeous combo for a baby bag--especially if you love a neutral pink or have a sweet baby girl! Of course, when packing for baby, you need a spare outfit, bottle, diapers, wipes, diaper cream, and a paci clip. Inside the backpack, you can also fit a swaddle, there's a padded laptop pocket should you need to bring yours along, and a second back section that is roomy as well. Another great feature about this backpack is it has several small pockets on the back and sides for easy-access to your smaller essentials, your little one's toys, or extra snacks! Since the backpack is rather deep, you could also stock it filled with extra diapers along the bottom--it's always helpful to have more diapers than you think you'll need. That's the last thing you want to run out of while on-the-go with your little one. An everyday backpack // We are love, loving the MZ Wallace Metro Backpack with the ToteSavvy Mini in Soft Grey. It's such a good everyday, neutral combo. In our everyday bag example, we wanted to pack it to the brim to show you just how much the Mini can help organize. We packed a laptop charger, water bottle in the insulated cooler pocket, a full-size wallet in the center pocket, snacks and water mixes, keys on the key clasp, a hair clip, and a few other small essentials that fit in the convenient small pockets. Inside the backpack in addition to the Mini, the Metro Backpack has a padded laptop pocket and space to pack your planner, too. There are two smaller pockets inside the backpack that could be useful for snacks or pens, and there's also a back zippered pocket that you could use for feminine products, makeup, or anything else you need on-the-go. To see these backpacks in action, be sure to head to our Instagram and check out our latest Reels featuring these darling backpacks!

The pockets are designed to keep your essentials and your little one's essentials organized and secure. The varied pocket sizes make the perfect fit for everyday essentials like your wallet, change of clothes, diapers and wipes in the larger pockets, and lip balm, AirPods, etc. in the smaller pockets. The Deluxe Organizer features a zippered cooler pocket and the Original and Mini feature a single cooler pocket. With either organizer, you can bring along a bottle, sippy cup, or even snacks and keep them in the insulated pocket. January Moon Teethers & Paci Clips These gorgeous Teethers and Paci Clips will be loved by both you and your little one. They are made with premium materials that include 100% non-toxic silicone, Japanese rope, and safety compliant metal. The Paci Clips hook to your little one's favorite paci, while also providing a soothing teether and sensory play while you're at home or out on the go.

Nuna Car Seat and Stroller Travel System The Nuna is a ToteSavvy founder favorite--in fact, our team loves the Nuna.

ToteSavvy Clear Pouch Trio Set Let me introduce you to your new favorite set of travel accessories. If you love staying organized while on-the-go or even every day when you're at home, then you will love this Clear Pouch Trio Set. They're made with a clear TPU material, trimmed with cream-colored vegan leather and a gold zipper. The pouches are water-resistant and can be wiped clean. Not only can you use them to pack toiletries for you and your little one, you can use them for diapers, wipes, spare clothes, and anything else you might need for baby. We love to use the small pouch in our everyday bag for makeup or even teethers and spare pacis for your little one. If you follow up on Instagram, you've seen the popular Toddler Car Kit with the Clear Pouch Trio Set--such a genius way to use them for your toddler! Boppy Pillow The Boppy Pillow can be used in so many different ways during different stages for your newborn. Whether you're nursing your sweet one or bottle feeding, it's amazing for support during feeding. Once they're a little bigger around three months old, you can use it to prop them up. The best is when they move to tummy time and try so hard to keep their head up. Then, once they've grown up oh so fast, you can use the Boppy Pillow to help them sit up. There are so many cute cover patterns, too, and having an extra cover or two is always helpful! Always remember--Boppy Pillows are never for sleep, and you should always be with your little one while using it. EllaOla Brush & Comb Set This is the cutest set that can be used from newborn through childhood. The super soft brush is made with 100% goat hair, so it can help gently brush away cradle cap and dry skin. The Massage Hair Brush is made with natural bamboo and can be used dry or wet (perfect for after bath time!) and helps to massage the scalp and promote circulation. The Rounded Bamboo Comb helps to detangle your little one's hair. All three combined create a mini spa experience for your little one right at home. The sizing is also great for everyday use and for travel! Halo Baby Bassinet Mamas--if you're looking for bassinet that allows you to sleep next to your little one, the Halo Bassinet swivels right over your bed giving you an extra close, safe sleep. One of the best features is the lowering wall that is also lockable when not in use. It's perfect for that first month or so postpartum when moving around is still a challenge--especially if you've just had a c-section. The mesh walls also give you peace of mind knowing they're breathable and safe for your little one. A fitted sheet and mattress is included, though, we recommend grabbing a few extra Halo sheets for those middle of the night blowouts and spit ups. It's honestly game changing to have a few spare sheets ready to go. Nanit Baby Monitor When it comes to your baby's sleep, monitoring them while you're away from them is always top of mind. Think about how many times you've stared at a baby to make sure they're breathing or felt under their nose to make sure you feel air, because they're in a deep sleep, and they barely move. We've all been there as parents, but the Nanit gives parents peace of mind, so you can set the monitor and let your little one sleep so you can get a little sleep, too. The breathing pattern, whether it's the included band wrapped and secured, the swaddle, or pajamas, will track your little one's breathing. It will show their breathing patterns, sleep trends, how often they wake up in the middle of the night, and even send noise alerts when they wake up. If you have two little ones, the Nanit also offers split screen so you can see two littles at once! It's perfect if you have an infant and a toddler or even twins. It's innovative technology that makes your life as a parent easier, so you can worry less about your sweet little one and enjoy as much of a restful sleep that you can.   What are your must-haves for a baby registry?
