Baseball Mom Bag Essentials

In 2020, I started a Baseball Mom Bag Essentials post but then the pandemic happened and baseball season got all weird and complicated.  I did make myself a list back then that I continually refer to:

It’s 2024 now (yikes) and soooooo many games later, this is what my list looks like!

I have had 4 years of handwriting practice since I made that first list.

I added some flair and questions!

There are three important questions you must ask yourself before packing a sports bag:

  • how long will you be there? how many games are they playing?
  • do they have bleachers? (bring a bleacher seat!) If they don’t have bleachers, then I make sure to pack my portable chair
  • what’s the weather situation?  This IS KEY! 

 

This is what’s in my big bag.

I ALWAYS BRING a WATER BOTTLE!

(I added my Make Magic sticker to it)

This is the bag I carry with me if I have a larger bag. It’s my little essentials kit of little things I might need!

Things I Might Need:

  • lip balm
  • lipstick
  • essential oils (I like to have a peppermint, eucalyptus or orange with me)
  • hairbands
  • sanitizer
  • gum
  • cough drops
  • flossers
  • nail clippers
  • nail file
  • advil
  • tweezers
  • eye drops

The essentials bag can fit into my Bag of Tricks!  This is the main bag I bring that carries things for everyone in case they need it. They don’t have to rifle through MY essentials kit to get the things they need.

Weather Accessories:

  • jacket (one that has a 
  • scarf  
  • straw hat
  • visor
  • beanie
  • bandana (I will get it wet on hot days and put it around my neck)
  • thermos (hot tea is nice on cold days)
  • blanket (I always keep one in my car just in case)
  • a towel (sometimes bleachers are wet)
  • umbrella

Here’s what I like to wear! Layers 🙂

I have learned that I cannot/should not wear coveralls or overalls to a game. No bueno!

    I’m a new Little League mom so this is perfect! Thanks for sharing 🙂

    LOVE these type of posts! As a bag queen/hoarder, I’m curious to know where your your bag of tricks, pen case, and your essentials bags are from? Also, do you make your own rosewater spray or decant it? (link isn’t working)… thanks!

    I love this list! As a softball grandma, I pack pretty much the same things. I would add bungee ties (great for securing an umbrella to a chair or fence) and a wagon. All that stuff gets heavy! I would rather pull my stuff than carry it. And an insulated lunch bag to pack in my own lunch.

  • Jamie

    Would you share where you got your essentials pouch? I love the size!

    • Tracy

      I love it too! I got it from Target many many years ago. I have yet to find a replacement 🙁
