Backpack Buzz

In honor of back to school, I decided to round up some of my favorite backpacks, but not the kind to carry books. There are however, a few that could work as options for school, such as the heather grey Herschel one we just purchased for my teenaged daughter. I always struggle when I want to go into the city or take a trip to a museum with the kids– I want to be able to carry everything without feeling (and looking) like a pack mule. Although I love a good crossbody bag, they sometimes don’t hold all my gear. Next time we head out as a family, I will opt to carry one of these backpacks instead of my husband’s ragged L.L. Bean sack.
