It feels like only yesterday that I was in North Carolina for my first blogging conference Reviewers Retreat. It was there that I was introduced to ( and partially stalked) the fantastic company EBags!! While I was there I was one of the lucky winners of ebags Packing cubes, the Packing cubes are a space saving, style savvy moms dream.
When I got home, I was happily greeted by an email from them asking if I would like to review their Mother Lode TLS Mini Duffel. My answer was “Of Course I would” with the summer here, we try to get out and go on over night getaways as much as possible, not to mention the many blogger trips I have planned.
Being a Mom the first thing that I noticed about the Mother Lode was the durability, the fabric was sturdy, wear resistant and the back boasts a hard outer shell to prevent crushing or breaking of items that are inside.
But it is the inside that impresses me the most. Looking like your normal luggage the Mother Lode is full of hidden compartments and expandable areas giving you optimal space, to get as much possible in one bag. I’m convinced that there is still compartments that I haven’t discovered!!
The easy pull out handle and wheels on the Mother Lode helps it to move around with ease, and when your battling kids to either get in the car or through a crowded airport you can use every bit of help you can get! Here are some of the Dimensions on the Mother Lode..
Product Specifications
Help me choose the right size
Guess what!! eBags is going to give one Suburban Coupon Mom reader the same packing cubes that I received.. in their choice of color of course!! Make sure you enter via Rafflecopter below!!
I’d take it anywhere!! Every time we leave the house with a 4,2 and 8 month old, we have to pack a bag.

If this bag is anything like their other products, I would take it everywhere, even to dog sit for my neighbors across the street.
