A fun straw bag puts me in a vacation mindset even if I’m just slogging through errands on a hot, muggy day.
This cute and roomy heart-adorned tote is perfect for pretending you’re on the boardwalk. This top-carry tote (although you can probably sling it over your shoulder as pictured) is lined and has an interior pocket for smaller essentials. When full it sits flat, and when empty, folds flat.
The Be Mine Straw Tote by btb Los Angeles is $136 at Nordstrom and comes in nine colors/patterns.

I feel like we just had a 3 day weekend and now, again? Well, at least our local beach area is open now..
There was a question on an earlier thread about minivans. We’re not buying now but may look into this in the future. We currently have one AWD small SUV and one sedan. If you were to pick, would you trade in the SUV for an AWD and potentially hybrid minivan (Toyota Sienna) or trade the Honda sedan for the Odyssey? We want at least one AWD car. I like the idea of going to hybrid. But the Odyssey is so highly revered. I know we’ll need to test drive them and get a better feel for each, but just sourcing early opinions.
