Well, I feel pretty cool, I got tagged by two people for the same meme. I was asked by Kristen over at Loving Our Simple Life and by Wendi from Because Wendi Said So, to show what kind of purse/bolder I am caring around with me these days and to flash you a peak inside.
.

Okay, so I am going to be completely honest...I may have cleaned my purse out a few days ago when I knew I was going to be showing the world the inner working of my purse. What can I say.... I have sooo much space in this bag I can and DO cram whatever I can into it. Seriously, if you are looking for a good "sneaking food into a movie" type bag, then this is what you need! I think I have gotten two big sodas, two pretzels with cheese, a giant case of Nerds and it still will hold everything else I usually carry around with me without breaking a sweat.
Well first things first....baby stuff. I don't usually carry around this many baby toys, but I had just gotten done picking my daughter up from my sister's place. She was being a sweet heart and watched Lucy while I went to the doctors, so I had to bring toys I knew that would keep Lucy happy. There is nothing more that I hate then asking someone to watch my kid and then having baby freak out the whole time. So, I try to pack something for every 'Lucy' situation that might arise.
And here we have the second season of "The Office". I have been caring it around with me trying to remind myself that I need to drop it off at my sister's house so she can finally watch it. Plus we probably should get it out of the house... we have been addicted to "The Office" for a while and probably need a break :)
Here is Lucy's church dress that I found crumpled up in the side pocket. I am guessing that Lucy got the dress all messy and my hubby needed to get her out of it and apparently stuffed it into a closed side pocket. Yea..nothing like finding an old rotting dress stuffed away in your bag to make you love it more :)
Here are all the receipts that I have been hanging on to. I am a receipt junkie! I seriously hold on to every one I get just in case I need to return seomthing. I hate going to the stores having the clerk say, "Oh sorry, if you don't have the receipt we can't refund your money." Then after fighting them tooth and nail about it I can finally get the response, "Well, I guess we can give you in-store credit". Yea... I hate that, so I just jam every receipt into my special pocket.
And here is a rear item that one will rarely find in my bag..... MONEY...more specifically CASH! Ohhhh fun cash. I never seem to have it these days and when I finally do I hang on to it forever until I finally break down and buy myself a nice cold Italian Soda or warm Steamer. And thank goodness for this post or else I wouldn't have found this cash floating around in my purse!
So thanks again to Wendi and Kristen for wondering what I have been caring in my purse. This has been one of my favorite memes that has been flying around the blogging world. And I would just love to see what these hot mamas have in their purses/diaper bags...

One sassy lady from the Big Apple Mrs. Mogul. Always sharing the inside scoop of the pop culture world with a nice splash and dash of her own input!

A good friend to my husband and I, Natalie over at Team Harris. Everyone needs to check out her sweet little lad Colton.

I am dying to see what Mother of Shrek it lugging around with her these days. She always has a great sense of humor and writes about the most fun facts, crazy pictures, and the awareness of Autism.

and of course...

My wonderfully witty and charismatic sister Michell over at Scribbit! She always seems to have something fun to write about; between Alaskan adventures, crazy husband lawyers, and sweet wonderful children....there is always something good!
You packed ALL OF THAT into your purse? I'm beyond impressed :)
ReplyDeleteHeidi
I second that sentiment - good for you for cramming all that stuff up in there!
ReplyDeleteThat isn't a purse....that's an overnight bag!!
ReplyDeleteOMgosh, yes- I think that you could crawl inside that bag! You are too funny!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! You can fit all that in there?! You're good!!
ReplyDeleteWow that is some purse. Its like a little clown car
ReplyDelete♥ You can fit a bunch of stuff in there! :)
ReplyDeleteThat was so fun!
ReplyDeleteI love that there is someone else out there carrying just as many receipts as I do. Can any purchase ever be certain when you are shopping with children? I think not!
Thanks for participating, and have a phenominal weekend! I will be using some of your relaxation techniques. :-)
what about a wallet, or check book, or car keys ect? pens? tylenol for moms? hehe Great job, I have not seen a DVD yet in someones purse. hehe. Love the big size to sneak food into the movies, oh by the way ....what is a movie? its been so long since we went to one. We are planning on Horton hears a who. We bought the book and are getting the kids use to its story line, hoping when we go, they will get it and sit still, we might have to bring lots of M&M's hehe (3.5 and 2 next week)
ReplyDeletelove your blog
You just never know when you might want to watch an episode of the Office. :)
ReplyDeleteI am supposed to do this meme.. but I haven't yet. That is a ton of stuff in that purse!
ReplyDeleteImpressed!!
ReplyDeleteWell because of my son some of the things are a bit unusual!!
You purse must weight 10,000 pounds!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that you have managed to get so much stuff in there, and none of it the stuff I would expect - what about a purse or a diary? Although with all those toys I wouldn't imagine that you can get them in!!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love having so much room in your purse? I have a huge red leather bag and LOVE it except for I always put way too much in it and can't ever find anything.
ReplyDeleteMy purse isn't nearly as exciting as yours I'm afraid, now that I'm past the diaper-packing phase it's quite boring--
ReplyDelete"Witty and charismatic?" Really? Wow, I never knew . . . well I mean I had a suspicion of course . . . kind of thought so . . . maybe . . . on a good day . . .
I thought my purse had the "Let's Make A Deal" items in there. That is crazy! Love it.
ReplyDeleteYou my dear may just win the prize for the most items concealed in a purse...or is it a duffel? You may also win a prize for "things you would not normally find in a purse". Movie food and drinks? Really? A DVD? Too funny.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see you found room for some items for Lucy.
Thanks for taking the challenge and thanks for making it so darn entertaining!!!
Okay Costanza, maybe you can find *my* receipts for me in that stack of yours. I really need to return a pair of shoes that made my son's feet bleed, but alas, no receipt.
ReplyDeleteSmart cookie you are.
I love that bag, it is amazing what you can fit in and need in a bag day to day isn't it!
ReplyDeleteI love my purse but, just like that picture of myself first thing in the morning, I'm not brave enough to share. Let's just say that it's because it's allergy season and there are lots of tissues. I love my purse because it's filled with just my stuff. Gone are my diaper bag/purse days. It's kinda sad but it's full of lip gloss, perfume and gum and it smells wonderful! My daughter brought me my heavy purse the other day and said that my purse must be pregnant because it was so heavy. She's five. I forgive her! I want to know what's in casdok's purse too! I really like her and you! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThat's one big purse. My boy freaks out when I leave him no matter how many toys I cram into my bag! He's a momma's boy.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed! I haven't seen that much stuff come out of a purse since Mary Poppins! The inside of my diaper bag hasn't been organized since the first time I packed it. I took a picture of it, I was so proud! You can see the one time I packed my baby bag neatly halfway down the page. I hate to say it, but it was all downhill from there.
ReplyDeleteWow - that's a purse full! I noticed when I had kids my purses got bigger and now that they are older that hasn't changed!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing inside other people's purses...and their medicine cabinets...and their underwear drawers...just kidding!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, I really appreciate a large purse. I'm all for sneaking stuff into the movies too.
I haven't looked at the contents of my purse in about 6 months. We did have to completely empty the diaper bag about 2 weeks ago because hubby dumped juice into it.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed with all that you could fit int that purse. I might be able to impress you with all that I could fit in my car! LOL! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe dress. That kills me. I find weird things in my purse all the time. One of these days I am expecting to find something living in there. Boys....
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, which is kind of funny, because I definitely can't relate to any of the mommy stresses as I don't have any kids! :) But...I do have a car seat in my car, pink kid-sized mittens & those little letter/number magnets in my jacket pocket & a sun hat in my bag. 1/2 my life is spent with kids, & I <3 it.
ReplyDeleteI also have a pocket of receipts in my bag. :)

ReplyDeleteOH wow. I'm impressed, too. I need you for purse organization
ReplyDeleteOH wow. I'm impressed, too. I need you for purse organization
ReplyDeletepurse organization 101. I'm having some trouble tonight. Might also need assistance with blogging. ug.
ReplyDeleteThat purse must be bigger than it looks! Or it's got "Mary Poppins" abilities and you're even able to stuff in coat racks and the like...
ReplyDeleteThat was fun to read/see!
I have all the reciepts too!! (I am not sure what the Taco Bell reciept from 6 months ago will get me, but I still have it!!)
ReplyDeleteI also found a binky in there recently - and Toddler hasn't used one in 2 1/2 years!!
I love that you are as excited about "real" money in your purse as I am. It's funny when you are a mom that you suddenly don't have cash, and when you do you hide it - from Hubby and the kids.
Thanks for sharing. You Rock!!
Wow--how is it that moms of one always have way more stuff than moms of four. I swear my bag has a wallet, pack of raisons, my cell, lipstick, hand sanitzer and a water bottle. The baby better not go #2 while we're out :0
ReplyDeleteMy sister calls her purse "luggage" because of all of the stuff that she has in there. ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI could LIVE in your purse! I am impressed you can get all that in ONE purse!
ReplyDeleteUgh! I have a bunch of toys in my PURSE. And, money in my diaper bag. Go figure!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you can get all that into your purse, I am going to assume it doesn't meet airline measurement restrictions for carry on size. HOLY COW!
ReplyDeleteKEEP BELIEVING
Oops I am sorry I am late with your meme! But I want to do it, I just have to get some time. If I post it soon I will mention it is your meme!!
