And no, I am not out to sabotage the site or bend her credibility, I actually love them. Fanny packs are ideal for moms on the go. Trust me; they are back and better than ever!

My son is seven now, and I have found that big bag I once loved is a major liability playing handball and swinging at the playground. Like all of you, I&#39;m a &quot;hands on&quot; mom. When my son wants to toss the ball or step on the stones to cross the creek, I am right there playing along with him. A clumpy bag on my shoulder just didn&#39;t work anymore.

Still not convinced that this is the latest fad? Well Gucci, Prada and Marc Jacobs have all designed ‘waist wallets&#39; this season, just Google <em>waist wallet</em> and you&#39;ll see a huge selection to choose from and a plethora of websites highlighting them.

And a quick visit to <a href="http://www.fannypack.com/">Fannypack</a> with show a variety of colors and styles ranging from $35- $80. And for the stylish moms on a budget, LL Bean has a super cute on for under $10!

Don&#39;t worry, Victoria will be back from maternity leave long before banana clips and stirrup pants come back &quot;in&quot; style... <em>heaven forbid!</em>
