so you want a peek in my purse?
Well, here it is. I have a lot of junk. I decided to throw out the various wrappers from the park today before taking a picture. Also omitted is my lotion, which Megan confiscated. (It was really hard to keep her out of my display of purse booty. Here’s the breakdown for the rest of it:
1. Harveys Seatbelt Bag in medium size-Can I just say that I love LOVE this bag! My sis gave it to me and it is perfect! It holds a ton, but not enough to weigh you down. It is also wicked durable! (Which as you can imagine is perfect for me.)
2. Makeup bag-to hold my stuff and provide another barrier for the girls to get through before playing with said stuff.
3. Tissues-yeah, we go through these pretty quickly.
4. Hand-sanitizer spray
5. Sanitizing wipes-for when the spray isn’t enough.
6. Snacks for the girls-raisins, Craisins, fruit snacks
7. Snacks for me-York peppermint patty and Icebreakers Restore pomegranate lemon-aid mints
8. Yes, that is a giant Dr. Pepper Lip Smacker (and yes, I do use it.)
9. Checkbook and cool flat orange wallet
10. Toys, toys, toys
11. Mike’s church keys
12. Diaper-it is so typical that there are no wipes, I always seem to be out.
13. Treo-my beloved phone/attempt at being organized
It’s actually not too bad. There are often a few more items shoved in there! I am tagging anyone who wants to clean out their purse too. Pamela, I am pretty curious to see how organized yours is. (Probably perfect.) Julie, I would love to see what’s in yours, too bad you don’t blog. Actually, now that I think about it, I am pretty curious to see what is in a lot of your purses. If you’ve got time, why not dump it out for our entertainment?

Very entertaining. I’m afraid mine would be quite a disappointment. After carrying a daiper bag around for so long, I have to rebel. My “purse” at the moment is just big enough to hold my credit cards and license, and though it’s tight, I usually zip my cell phone in there too. That’s it. But just for fun, I may have to blog about it anyway!

That is fantastic! Is this a picture of my purse?! Oh wait…I guess it’s just the season we are in!

Wow. That is very impressive. And I love the seatbelt bag.

Ok- Keersten. Since I don’t have a blog for myself (although I did start one for Trent) and I do love this purse idea, I’m going to use your blog as a way to list the contents of my purse. If this gets too long, feel free to delete. First is my cute lime green Coach purse (not real-Mark picked it up in China) Pink striped Kate Spade wallet (picked that up in China town in NYC-i’m cheap), travel pack of bandaids, notepad, pen, lotion, checkbook, kleenex, 3 kinds of mints(didn’t even realize that), pack of gum, 5 types of lip stuff, bottle with misc. pills (yes-i’m becoming my mom), rolaids, fingernail file, a grocery list, random receipts, a straw from the jazz game (it blows up the clapper balloons they hand out) and a sheet of 1 cent stamps.
Wow-didn’t know I had so much in there. I think it’s a sign my purse needs to be cleaned out. And thanks for letting me share!

Holy Cow Julie! If you want to email me a picture, I’ll post it. I know who to ask the next time I need–well–anything!
May 16th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Ok I will do it, but can I clean it out first!?!?!

You do know the importance of leaving comments. You’re cool like that. And maybe I can learn to be cool like that, too! This post makes me enjoy my non-mom status…my purse has nothing in it compared to this. Just a planner, a pen, a wallet, sometimes my camera, my keys, and some aquaphor. Life is simple.

Hey, I”m not the only one who has a “kid stuffed purse,” except soon you can graduate to “undies” in place of “diaper.” I’m telling you, it’s awesome!… Less space to take up, you know? I love the soccer pictures - she looks SO BIG! Keep the updates coming! Miss you guys!
