Daisy Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I thought this might be a fun thread. What is in your purse? You don't have to name every single item. Wallet (with the obvious items; DMV, insurance cards, blah, blah, blah) Keys Peppermints & two organic lollipops (for when the kids need to be quiet &/or are starving) Burt's Bees Suntan Lotion Epi-Pen (Son is allergic to stinging insects) Son's extra toothbrush/paste (Yeah, he forgets a lot). Copy of the Dewey Decimal System (just makes life easier at the library) Calendar Notepad Cloth bag that rolls up very small (for impromptu trips to the store) Lots of broken pencils (I obviously need to fix that) Comb (see toothbrush/paste comment) Safety Pins (it is amazing how often we need these) Tweezers Band-Aid Cellphone Book (because I always have to have a book on me) Pentominoes (A small game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen in CO Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 :D I don't carry a purse, just my wallet and keys. Me Too - No purse here. In the winter I will carry a big purse that expands to hold the kids' jackets , mittens and hats when we go out. The rest of the year, I am purse-less. Free. Unencumbered. :) Wallet, keys and cellphone all fit in my pockets, and I always either have pockets or my dh's pockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabeline Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) Wallet- DL, Credit cards, ect. Cell Phone Camera- I always carry it, otherwise I would never take pictures of the kids. Traval tissues- My son has alergies, and can clear out his sinuses with one sneeze:ack2: 3 Pens- My kids like to draw during church and I like to write notes. Small Pad of paper- it is so handy for jotting down phone numbers or lists. Gum- I have recently started chewing gum and it is addictive, we must always have gum now. Dental floss- for the occasional emergency Small pouch with chapstick, lipstick and powder- Although I always carry it, I usually forget to reapply.:tongue_smilie: Keys Of course at the bottom of my purse I also have the fun assortment of junk; reciepts, gum wrappers, used tissue, and sometimes even a stray crayon or two.

patchfire Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I don't usually carry a purse. When I'm out by myself, I have my wallet in my right back pocket, phone in the left, reusable bag in left front pocket, and keys & change in the right front. Yeah, I'm usually in jeans. :) If I'm out with the kids, I have my wallet, change purse, and checkbook in the front of the diaper bag, and a reusable bag or two down the side pockets. If everyone's reliably potty-trained and we're going out for awhile, I have a Timbuktu bag that I transfer everything into, along with books, etc. for the kids.

My purse is one of those barely bigger than a wallet with the purse strap kind. When I am out with the kids, I carry a backpack with kid books, diapers, an epi, childrens benedryl, and an extra change of clothes for the little one. I put my purse in the backpack.

WarriorMama Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Oh boy, this is probably going to be scary. Before I had kids, I could fit everything I needed into my jacket and jeans. Since having kids and realizing how much I hate diaper bags (I've never never found one I like) AND how much I dislike switching things from bag to bag, I carry a very large shoulder bag all the time. The really disturbing part is how little of the stuff I carry is stuff for ME. :tongue_smilie: Diapers, wipes and a changing pad Emergency clothes for my 2-year-old (the child who can destroy an outfit in 30 seconds or less) Wallet, cellphone, keys A small compact mirror Extra sunglasses (this sounds weird, but I have really sensitive eyes and can barely function outdoors without them, so I don't want to be caught without if I misplace my usual pair) Water bottle, sippy cup, and snacks. Even if we're only going out for an hour. You don't want to see my kids if they get hungry and I have nothing to feed them (and neither do I! :lol: ) Small notepad and multiple pens Notebook and crayons - a lifesaver with the toddler while waiting at ballet class etc! Usually at least 3 toy cars, trucks or little animals Hand sanitizer. While we almost never use it, the few times we've been out and the kids have done something revolting like pick up a chewed piece of gum off the ground have convinced me it's worth lugging about. Blech! Bandaids and Polysporin Tylenol (for arthritic husband) and Benadryl (for allergic dd) Hair ties and clips In summer, hats and sunscreen. In winter, extra mitts/gloves (somebody always loses one) Fold-up cloth shopping bag Plus, whatever trip-specific items I decide to throw in, like a field guide for a walk in the woods. Plus whatever things my husband sweetly asks if he can just 'throw in the bag'. Plus whatever surprise items my toddler might have stuffed in the side pockets when it was sitting in its usual place by the front door. It's, umm...heavy. But I figure that's what the stroller is really for - pushing your bag around in! We're having a new baby in a few months, and I'm scared I'll have to upgrade to a duffel bag. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peachskittles Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I don't use a purse. I actually have a couple but they are such a pain. I don't own a wallet. All I need is my ID and debit card if I go out (oh and keys if I'm driving). If my lil ones go out with me, I grab their diaper bag which has only diapers, baby wipes and allergy meds for my 3yo. Sometimes I grab extra clothes to toss in, depending on the plan for the day. I travel as lightly as possible. If I need something, I can almost guarantee it is *somewhere* in my van.

elise1mds Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I don't usually carry a purse, either, but I've had to get one since inhaler season has rolled around again. I carry my wallet, keys, phone, and son's inhaler. I think my camera is also in there right now since we attended a homeschool group event, but normally it would go in my front right pocket, my wallet in my back right pocket, my phone in my front left pocket, and my keys attached to a belt loop. I make a point to keep the purse uncluttered because it's so tiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom2J112903 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Nothing really, since my purse is emptied out every time I get back home. I have different purses/bags for different needs. If you ask me what is in my "Mommy" purse-wallet, sunglasses, house key, car key, cell phone, powder and lipstick. What southern gal goes anywhere without her lipstick? :-P Now if you ask me about my the bag I take when J is with me, that is a different story. I carry a full sized Vera Bradley backpack with us. In that you will find dramamine (great for anxiety and non-rx), benadryl (severe allergies), albuterol inhaler (for Asthma), and a bottle of Germ-X. Also carry his TAG Reader and/or his Leapster, with games and books of course. Then all of my goodies as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denisemomof4 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I realized that I mostly carried a purse mainly to have something for my wallet. I realized that was silly so I bought an organizer bag. I love Fossil but only certain styles. Then I realized there was one designer bag I always wanted, and I took the financial plunge. BUT, I still don't want a big purse to carry my wallet around in! So, I bought small, and I intend to keep my purses small. I've been doing this for a couple of years now. My current purse holds 2 - 3 pens, a couple packs of gum, my checkbook, which also holds dollar bills behind the register, a change purse, lipstick, chap stick, Advil, cell phone, credit cards. That's it. I realized that the bigger the bag, the more junk I stuffed into it. The heavier my purse became, the more sore my shoulders were. I finally found what worked. And, it's big enough to carry all I want, but too small to stuff papers and crap in it that shouldn't be there. When out in public, I put my keys in the purse, and at that point, nothing else is going in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorMama Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 A wallet. There is nothing I need when I'm out and about except my license, cash and a credit card. My cell phone stays in the car, except for when I'm at school. I use it as a watch. My keys (one house key, one car key) and a car remote are on a lanyard which hangs out of my pocket. And I think that's it. :) Wow, only two keys? We should have a spin-off thread about how many keys people have and what they're for. I have a janitor-sized set of keys to match my humongous bag. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
