The Mommy Bag - by Rhiana


So the other day i noticed my handbag was getting a little heavy. My son is four so we are past the days of diapers, bottles and extra clothes so i no longer carry a diaper bag. I have the next step in the evolution of carrying everything a family needs in "The Mommy Bag." Big enough to carry everything but not quite as big as a diaper bag. So I decided to dump the contents out onto my kitchen counter and see what exactly was weighing my Mommy Bag down. The contents are as follows:

  • bottle of water
  • 2 hand sanitizers
  • disposable camera
  • socks
  • 2 lip glosses
  • lip stick
  • cosmetic case (I guess the lip gloss and lipstick made an escape?)
  • 3 receipts (the rest reside in my George Costanza wallet, these were just floating around)
  • paint stick stirrer (you know just in case someone says "gosh, I could really use a paint stick stirrer")
  • waiver of liability
  • day planner
  • American Flag (you mean you don't all carry around your own personal flags?)
  • flash light
  • pretzels
  • pen
  • wallet
  • Teddy Grahams
  • crayons
  • sun block
  • diaper wipes
  • plastic dish (a play toy...because you just never know when you may need one)
  • 2 Cliff Bars
  • Kashi Bar (i don't like to be stranded without food)
  • gum
  • broken pen
  • sunglass case
  • JoAnn flyer (I NEVER leave home without this flyer!)
  • net veggie bag (in case i randomly stop at a roadside veggie stand..)
  • $0.14
I hope I am not alone in this.  Everyone has all this randomly floating in the abyss of their Mommy Bag, right?
