Dump Your Bag Tag?

Who would've thunk it----dump your bag because of a tag! My Beantown sis-in-law tagged me, so now you can all see which little trinkets, odds and ends call my purse 'home.'..if you cared in the first place!

I haven't cleaned it out since before Christmas and found some 'treasures'...so thanks for the tag so I could make my way to the bottom of my cute black toile & polka dot bag! I don't like traditional diaper-bags so I searched to find something neutral that fit me on a budget. It's a no-namer, by the way, homemade by a stay-at-home mom that I found on etsy...gotta love that marketplace! Maybe someday I'll open a store on etsy. But for now...here's what finds its home in my darling bag of tricks:

Are you sure you want to take a peak???

Yeah, I know you wonder how the heck all that could be shoved inside this bag?!

  • 3 diapers for my Vivs and Iz (oh when will my 2-year-old potty-train???)!
  • formula dispenser
  • (wipes are missing,by the way-probably on the floor of my car, which is WAY worse than my purse!!!!)

  • sunglasses
tampon/pad cause I know you wanted to know.

wallet with zero cash, planner stuffed to the hilt, pouch with insurance cards and 'club' cards
  • Costco receipt and coupon book
  • UPS receipt from sending back Vivs's defective swing
  • Receipt from Dr. appt.
  • French Pastry cafe menu--from a Kenz/mom brunch outing--YUM fruit tarts!
  • nifty brush/mirror..random blue comb
  • fruit leather and nutri-grain bar (trusty snacks on-the-go)
  • trident gum
  • my favorite verbena lemon Bath&BW lotion-so fresh
  • baby tylenol
  • baby magic lotion
  • Vivie's rattle/teether
  • bulb snot catcher
  • paci-holder
  • socks that belong to one of the girls
  • sweet crocheted mary janes my mom made
  • Ricola
  • misc. hair clippies & rubberbands
  • ocean spray
  • assorted MAC lipglass & liner--yeah! found one I thought was missing!
  • eyelash curler and mascara
  • schedule to read the standard works in a year (which hasn't made it out of my purse since church...uh..2 weeks ago)--I think last year's reading was plenty! I'll stick to the BofM

I'm out of breath! That was a lot of stuff in one bag!

..and the bottom of the barrel...which I haven't seen for a few months...lots of Ricola wrappers, heart nail file, crumbs and change.

Thanks for the tag so my bag got a swift cleaning!

...and now I tag Brooke Baker, Amy Timmerman, & Rachel Hazen!

When I saw Becky's purse I was like, "What the...??" because that purse was way too clean and organized! I like yours better! It looks like mine with wrappers, bandaids and receipts galore shoved everywhere.

That was a way cool purse. Its very cute and full to the brim! I have been enjoying my tiny purse that is just big enough to hold my wallet, check book and cell phone. Mattie just finished potty training, so I have said good bye to the big bag for now!

Thanks for the tag - my first tagging! I feel honored! Wow - you are a walking Rite Aid. I know where to go if I ever need anything! I just barely bought a new bag so mine is unusually clean and quite boring compared to yours. However, it won't take long to fill up with crumbs, wrappers, and receipts, too.

It's amazing how everything in you bag dumped out in such an organized way!!!!! Well worth a photo (giggle). My little Prada only holds my wallet, check book, chocolate cover altoids and a tissue - so glad I'm pass the diaper bag stage!!!!!
