got the Mothership for Mother's Day and have a question...

[mykidsmom]

I was lucky enough to get a Fleurville MS for Mother's Day but am having a little trouble getting used to it. I was using a PPB Boxy Backpack, and love it, but wanted to try something new and a little larger. My question is to those of you who have a MS. Do you feel like it is a big pit and hard to find what you need out of it. Maybe I am just not used to it yet, but so far it seems clumsy and awkward. I'd love to know what you put in it and where you put it. Thanks!

I had both of those bags (sold my Mothership recently) and the organization is pretty similar. I actually liked the organization of the Mothership and used it for longer outings or trips to the pool. It was not an everyday bag since I thought it was a tad too large. I liked all of the pockets.

thanks! What made you decide to sell it? How much do these high end bags resell for(if kept in excellent condition)??

They resell well if they're in excellent condition. I sold mine because I'm a lighter packer now that my DS is almost 2 and I just wasn't using it anymore.

thanks. May I ask where you recommend selling (other than those yahoo groups-too confusing to me on how to join) and how much $$ did you get for your MS? Thanks!!

I would try selling it on ebay. You usually get a reasonable amount back of what you spent (well, if the bag is in good condition, of course).

I also have the motehrship and use it only for travel or long day trips. Otherwise it is too big for me.

thanks. I plan to use it mostly in the summer (I got the pink) and then switch back to my darker color bags in the winter. It is big, but at least I'll have room for everything I need and don't need too! :)
