It's in the bag

So, I can't remember where I saw this...But there were a few blogs out there purging the contents of their purses/bags and I felt like I needed a good purge myself.

So here goes.

That's my bag baby.



It's what I use for a diaper bag/purse. I have 3-4 different bags that I switch through on a daily basis but they all stem from the contents of this one in particular!



These are Girl's supplies.
Pull ups (Don't remind me)/wipes/water bottle/snacks...we never leave home without these particular items for the Girl.


These are the Mom-supplies.
Sunglasses/eye drops/wallet/keys/phone/pens (notice nothing to write on)


Next in line of importance is the toys.
We have Littlest Pet Shop Pets on hand at all times/a stuffed, quacking duck/slinky/playing cards/coloring pad and crayons. You never know when you need distractions while you are in traffic or out to eat.



Then, you have Mom's toys.
The stuff that keeps HER sane.
The iPod, always updated and charged. Socks for gym class and meditation stones that help keep the positive vibes flowing. I need all the help I can get.


The wallet.
Which carries NO cash.
But lots of plastic.
And gift/shopping cards.
(I don't even go to Stop and Shop...since the aphid incident, and when was the last time I stepped foot in a Blockbuster???)

Must. Stay. Hydrated.
Gasp.

How do I find anything in this thing?


OH! Yeah...and....

There's a body-bag waitin' for this.

This photo was shot right after I discovered he ate the ENTIRE insides of a couch cushion...He always looks guilty when he's done something wrong. At least he has the decency to UNZIP the cusion before he chows down...oh, and the poop...not fun. Must be hard to squeeze out gigantic chunks of couch from your quarter sized butthole.

You're pretty efficient with what you pack in there.

For a minute (just a minute), I thought that maybe I'd copy cat you and do a post with what's in my purse. But then I remembered that I'd be embarrassed by all the receipts, tampons, and plain old Junk in my purse.

So if someone picks up your purse, groans at the weight, and says, "whaddya got in here, rocks?" you can honestly say, "yes, yes I do have rocks in there."

I'm personally revelling in the fact that the only kid supplies in my bag are a small box of bendy straws and one of those little boxes of crayons they hand out at restaurants. Glorious, glorious freedom. I don't have much in the way of cash in there, though, so we do have that much in common!

The dog that ate the couch cushion! I love it! Our stupid puppy is too stupid to realize he should LOOK guilty.

MY Stinkerbell looooooves Littles Pet stuff too. Basically, if it has fur or feathers, she'll love it.

I'll take this tag... tomorrow maybe?

Nice iPod!!!!

You so do NOT have a body bag for Artie in there. Although I can't imagine finding a couch cushion - unzipped, even - devoured.

Your last line had me giggling out loud! But cringing, too. :-)

Maybe I'll take the purse challenge later.

Thanks for your kind words about my kiddo!

Nice post! I'm always on the hunt for the perfect purse. And the perfect wallet.

And, yes, I carry lots of pens but nothing to write on!!

I'm glad my kids like to carry their own purses now! lol

Your dog is adorable (even though he's a bad boy)!

You are so brave to post the contents of your bag!!! hehehe!

Egads that dog eats the weirdest things! I once heard of a toddler that ate the inside of his car seat!

You are certainly prepared for anything! I find there is little that a container of goldfish can not cure!

As for the dog...he's got some issues! :)

I am completely ADDICTED to my Ipod!

a. I love that bag! Black and white...so very in.

b. Do the stones work? Can I just use some from the backyard?

c. That dog freakin' cracks me up. I hate to laugh at your misfortune, but oh...

But it's the meditation stones that keep you level headed. I need some of those.

Why not have your wee dog visit Mr. Charnas' dogs...
Oh wait, it could pick up their nasty tricks that they do on the beach... and maybe the cushion is better than what Kevin's dogs eat???

I don't know how I missed this post ...sorry to be "late" to the party.

That last paragraph almost made me pee my pants I laughed so hard.

Poor little shitstain dog! The dog we "had" that was that much of a terror actually got in to the clothes hamper and chewed up one of my favorite bras. Bizarre yes, but just know I'm feelin' your pain.
