Summer as a mom hits different — it’s hot, it’s sticky, and it’s full of adventures that somehow always require six more things than you thought. Whether we’re headed to the splash pad, taking a road trip, or just running to Target with a toddler in tow, my HOLLIS diaper bag is the one thing I never leave the house without.
So today I’m giving you a peek inside my go-to summer setup: What’s in my HOLLIS Diaper Bag — Summer Edition.
Meet My Bag: The Pink Floral Ruffled Nylon Diaper Bag
I rotate between a few favorites, but right now I’m loving our Pink Floral Ruffled Nylon Diaper Bag as my everyday diaper bag. It’s pretty, practical, and has just the right amount of structure so it doesn’t turn into a black hole by noon.
- Wipeable inside + out
- Ruffle detailing (because why not make motherhood chic?)
- Comfy backpack straps for hands-free chaos control
- Lots of compartments = less digging
Whether I’m at the park or headed out of town, this backpack can carry it all without looking like I packed for a 3-day hike.
Summer Essentials Inside My Bag
Let’s be real: what’s in your bag is what makes the day work. Here’s what I keep packed for summer outings:
Baby + Toddler Must-Haves:
- Diapers & wipes (the basics, but doubled in summer — hello, splash pad)
- Swim diaper
- Change of clothes (bonus points for bringing TWO)
-
Snack pouches + sippy cup
Mom Stuff I Can’t Forget:
- Travel-size sunscreen stick
- Hair ties + scrunchies
- Mini deodorant (you know why)
- Sunglasses
- Lip gloss + a tiny mirror
Just-In-Case Extras:
- Portable mini fan (great for both of us!)
- Bandaids & first aid wipes
- Wet bag for surprise messes
- Pack of stickers or small toy to avoid checkout meltdowns
Pack Like a Pro, Mama
The best part of packing a HOLLIS diaper bag is knowing I can actually find stuff when I need it — and it doesn’t scream “diaper bag.” It just screams “this mom has her life together” (even when she definitely doesn’t).
