My Top 3 Ways to Use a Shoulder Tote

Spread the love

Want to know my current obsession?  It’s this gorgeous market tote! Seriously y’all, it’s being used day in and day out around here.  I got it a couple of weeks ago from Urban Southern and it’s easily become my favorite bag.  It’s absolutely the most versatile bag I have! I’m loving it so much that I thought I’d share my top 3 ways to use a shoulder tote.

My Top 3 Ways to Use a Shoulder Tote| Southern Made Blog

1- Use it as a market tote. Obviously, it got it’s name for a reason.  It’s fabulous for the market.  Plus, fresh flowers and bread just look so pretty in this bag. There’s an abundance of room in the tote for whatever goodies you bring home from the grocery store or market.

2- Makes a great computer bag.  Again, it’s got plenty of space, so I can fit my laptop, planner, pens, and the kitchen sink in this baby if I’m packing up to get some work done out of the house.  This Urban Southern tote is authentic leather, so you better believe it’s incredibly sturdy and will hold the weight.

3- An easy overnight bag.   This can easily be the perfect tote for your essentials.  We’re home in Louisiana this week and I’m having an old fashion slumber party with a dear friend next weekend.  I’m so glad I brought my bag because I’ll have it handy to toss in some pajamas, my toothbrush, a change of clothes, some flats and a scarf, my essential oils, and phone charger. Packing made easy!

If it’s easier without the shoulder straps, then just remove them and use the carrying handles.  That’s just one more perk.  I definitely will be getting tons of use out of my market tote.  Urban Southern has offered 10% off to Southern Made Blog readers with the code SOUTHERN10.  All of their products are gorgeous! I have a feeling I’ll be going back for more.

✨Standing where our home will be in Louisiana. W ✨Standing where our home will be in Louisiana. We’re leaving Tennessee and moving back. ✨

We felt a nudge about 6 months ago to start praying about moving back to Louisiana. So, pray we did! Lots and lots of it. I swore we’d never leave Franklin, so I was a bit confused as to why the Lord had put this on my heart. But I know that His plans are always better than our own. Month after month I softened to the idea and he started working out all the details. 

During spring break we made a trip to Louisiana to see Daniel’s parents and to drive around with a move in mind. We couldn’t find any homes that we loved, so we started looking at land. Long story short, this property is close to my in-laws and had been on the market for over a year. Over an acre on a lake that hadn’t been scooped up. We truly feel that God held it for us. Our vision for this land is dreamy. It will give us what we’ve wanted which is a bit of land that we could turn into our little oasis, it offers some privacy, and allows us to be close to family. 

We closed on the land two weeks ago, put our house here in TN on the market last Friday, accepted an offer on Monday, and started the details of our new home build. The boys will finish out school and then we’re heading back south in early July. It’s all happened fairly quickly but we know it’s what we’re supposed to be doing and we’re at peace with it all. It’s going to be very bittersweet to leave. We love Franklin/Nashville and our community here, but we’re excited about a new adventure and to be around family.

Is anyone else fond of coffee or red wine? I know Is anyone else fond of coffee or red wine? I know I’m not alone. I love the taste but I’m not crazy about what it does for my teeth. ☕️😁

I’m not a fan of whitening strips at home because it always makes my teeth sensitive. I was so excited to get in with @nationsdentalstudio because they offer professional teeth whitening that’s quick. I was curious to see if I’d have the same experience in the office that I have at home Thankfully, that wasn’t the case. 

I was in and out with whiter teeth within an hour. I had minimal discomfort for the first 24 hours and only needed one session. This is definitely the easiest way to get your pearly whites even brighter! Ten out of ten in my book! Not to mention, this is the most chic dental office you’ll ever see. 😍

Mention “Southern Made Blog” when booking a teeth whitening session with @nationsdentalstudio and get $50 off!

Yes, please! Count me in! This may have been the best one yet. @urbanaircoolsprings had everything set up and ready to go for us when we arrived. So much fun, pizza, cupcakes, and lots of celebrating. 

Between the trampolines, rock climbing walls, ball pits, playground, ropes course, and VR, I’d say these boys had a blast! Two birthdays to remember. Thanks for a great day, @urbanaircoolsprings!
