What's inside my bag...

One of my fave momma bloggers, Mandy at Harper's Happenings, blogged about what's inside her diaper bag today. It made me think 2 things...1) that's a fun post idea & 2) boy do I sure need to clean my purse out. Soooooooooo, I decided to hop on the bandwagon and make a short (and not so sweet) post about what's inside MY bag.

I'm not going to sugar coat this. I am going to show you the inside of my purse exactly as it fell on the table after I dumped it out. WARNING: it is not pretty. BUT, this may make you feel better about yourself and your purse situation. Looking at my life as an outsider, I may appear to have it all together, but hidden underneath I am a mess.

Check it out for yourself.

Pre-dump...


The goods...


So what was inside my bag?

• Wallet from Urban Outfitters (it's kinda like this one)
• iPhone
• Keys
• Clinique make-up: concealer, gloss, & lipstick (Almost Lipstick in Black Honey - my fave!)
• $50 Nordstrom Gift Card (can you even believe I still have this from Xmas???)
• Diaper
• Pill case (empty)
• Folding comb
• Butterscotch candy
• Random pens & coins
• Ginger candy chews (great for morning sickness)
• Taco Time gift card
• Floss
• Lipsmackers vanilla chapstick
• Various crumpled up receipts and notes
• Mint gum
• Toy vending machine container
• Hand sanitizer
• Check book
• Various crumbs and stale pretzel sticks

I got rid of about half of this crap and re-organized my situation into a brand new purse I had bought a couple of months ago (& was thinking about returning, but I only spent like $15 on it).

I feel so much better now!


This whole process of dumping my purse out and going through it and putting it in a new bag maybe took me like 7 minutes. So why did I wait so long? Who knows. BUT, I'm learning to just "get er done!" Stop procrastinating and do something. Baby steps for me.

I encourage you all to take a peek inside your bag and get organized! I'm serious, it makes you feel like a whole new woman.
