I find myself hauling a load of stuff. Yes, my purse, also referred to as "luggage" to some... If you are a mother, you can probably relate to my dilemma.
Question is what are we carrying in our purses? What are essential verse necessary?
Every so often I empty out my purse to discard old receipts, food, find loose change and missing keys. Jimmy calls it the deep dark hole. I not only carry just my purse, but my book/laptop bag, gym bag as well as my food tote. Sometimes contents jump from one bag to another. You may laugh, but I know I'm not the only one. But back to my purse, it's where I keep everything I could possible need and then some.
Here are my contents:
1. Wallet/checkbook- YES and necessary
2. Makeup- Enough said
3. Keys
4. Work badge/keys
5. Cell phone
6. Hairspray- Yes I still carry a bottle since high school
7. Hairbrush- it goes hand in hand with the Hairspray
8. Curling Iron- It's portable now and I have about 3 of them
9 & 10 Two pair of shades.
11-24 Small items but still necessary, sewing kit, first aid with band aids, Kleenex, hand sanitizers, nail repair kit, lip balm, lotion, mints/gum, Aspirin/Tylenol, pads, stamps, mail/bills, business cards, pictures of our family members and a pocket prayer book.
25-34 And not to mention kids stuff that we also carry. Diapers, wipes, medicines, sunscreen/lotion, toys, food, spoon/fork, food liners, cups, and extra clothes. They even have Diaper Dude gear for fathers who end up carrying the diaper bags...it's convenient not just for us, but for them too. They do have man bags..so don't hate.
Okay about 34 items can be found in my purse...but at least I can say I'm prepared.
And I don't do well with small purses if all the contents can be hauled in your pocket...
