When you’re a modern mum, there’s a lot to juggle. Your days can be busy with work and home commitments — and your kids can have a better social life than you do.
Managing your time isn’t always easy, but you can do it all in style. With practical everyday accessories, you can show off your personality while ticking off your to-do list.
The question is, what pieces are both chic and functional? From drink bottles to smart storage, there’s something for every modern mum. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Emotional Support Bottle
Staying hydrated is a breeze when you have a reusable drink bottle by your side.
Invest in a design that suits your personality and makes you feel good about stepping outside and embracing the day.
Whether it’s pastel hue, fun pattern, or classic neutral — an insulated bottle will keep your drink at the perfect temperature. Plus, if you want to mix it up you can add natural flavourings to your water such as lemon or lime.
Or, switch to a refreshing, homemade iced tea for those warmer months.
Tech-Savvy Gadgets
Next, look to tech to simplify your daily schedule. Life can be go-go-go, so staying connected to keep stress levels ‘low-low-low’ is essential.
Download apps to improve your organisation such as menu planners, fitness trackers, and calendars.
Whatever you feel you could use a hand with, there’s gotta be an app for that! Better yet, pair your smartwatch to your phone so reminders and calendar invites are only a quick wrist-check away.
These stylish timepieces can help you maintain your health and fitness, make payments, and read messages. From simple elegant designs to sporty numbers, there is something for every mum.
To go the extra mile, connect noise-cancelling headphones for some downtime while listening to your favourite tunes or podcasts. Headphones come in a range of colours and styles to complement your wardrobe.
Comfortable Footwear
For busy mums, comfortable footwear is a must-have. Try a versatile pair that can be worn with different outfits to help you save time.
The option you choose will depend on your personal preferences and the weather. It may be a pair of sneakers, loafers, sandals, ankle boots or ballet flats.
The most important thing is that the shoes are high-quality, comfortable, and make you feel good.
Smart Storage for Snacks On-the-Go
Sitting down for a healthy meal isn’t always possible when you are out and about. But it’s important to maintain your energy levels by having something ready to go when you do get hungry.
When you meal prep ahead of time, you can avoid the rushed takeaway run. There are lots of options for snack storage that can be used while you’re on the road.
For example, insulated containers are airtight and ideal for keeping food at the right temperature. They can be used for everything, from pasta to fruit salad, to yoghurt.
If your children prefer a variety of finger foods, a Bento box is a simple solution that keeps everything separate. Depending on what you have in your fridge, you can add popcorn, cheese, meat, fruit, and vegetables.
Embrace Practicality and Style with a Versatile Bag
Finally, every stylish mum needs a bag to store all her bits and pieces. An oversized design will fit your phone, keys, snacks, drink bottles and other accessories.
Choose a bag with multiple compartments so you don’t need to rummage around to find what you are looking for. Pockets are ideal for small items, while a zip will keep your contents secure.
Then, think about the material. Life can be messy, so wipeable fabric will keep your bag in good shape. And, something with a pattern or texture will disguise any marks while creating a fashion statement.
There are different strap options to suit your storage needs. It may be a backpack, tote, or messenger bag — it’s all about finding a comfortable option that you can take everywhere.
With these accessories that are practical and fashionable, you can feel good while staying organised, no matter what the day throws your way!
