Question If you had to pick just one...

So I am just getting into my new hand bag obsession- my old college bags just aren't going to cut it anymore- and I was wondering the best place to start. I am a mother of two little boys, so I need to carry a lot of stuff and prefer leather so it's some what washable and durable. My funds are a little limited right now, so I was wondering what all you veteran fashionistas out there would suggest for one do-it-all-take-anywhere bag.
Thanks!!

This is a little bit out of your price range but it might be on sale at the Nordies Anniversary sale that starts tomorrow

Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Tote $398

I haven't seen this one IRL but something noteworthy is that some MbyMJ bags are heavy due to the thickness of leather!

Francesco Biasa Pure Magic II Tote on sale $262

I'm going to second the Coach Ergo Hobo. It feels REALLY lightweight and comfortable on your shoulder even if you fill it with stuff!
