here is the pile of junk I dumpled out of my bag-it sorta made me sick. There was also an unidentified dried spill in the bottom-yuck.
After I ditched the garbage, here's what's left. (left to right, top to bottom)1)3 diapers-I do not need three, I rarely need one, but three it is!
2)Wipes
3)A teddy bear
4)Costco passport coupon book-essential.
5)A hat for William
6)An almost empty baby tylenol.
7)My wallet-I'm surprised it's in there, the one thing I need most-moolah!
8)A onesie
9)A Pacifier
10)A tampon-you never know when might need one!
11)3 assorted toys two of which William isn't into anymore
12)My appointment card for William's one year check (I have now written it in my planner and tossed the card)
13)A paint chip from lowes, that we didn't use-we picked a different color(who knows why it's still in there-baffling!)
14)A pair of earing (on the paint chip) that I took off one day-I can't remember when
15)Several forms of chapstick or lip gloss-probably too many.
16)A target gift card.
17)An ikea pencil
18)A penny (my total net worth)
19)A brochure on my eye insurance coverage
20)A "stats" sheet from the pediatrician from William's 9 month check (a month ago)
21)An unused prescription from that appontiment.
This is, of course, too many things. I didn't even have to try hard to pick what does and does not belong.
My bag is so much lighter and convenient-Thanks for the tag, Carrie!I tag Clara, Mom(she can post it on my blog), and Ashley Landreth-Good Luck!

Feels good to have a clean bag, doesn't it? I am the same way- once I stick one odd piece of paper (list, receipt, etc) in there, it's all down hill from there and becomes a huge, giant mess! Glad a simple tag could get your purse organized! I threw away so much garbage and junk when I did my tag- I think my purse weighs 3 pounds lighter!
wow! you are going to get a sore shoulder carting all that around! Just kidding. I know all of it is essential because moms must be prepared to fix any and all emergencies at any given moment. Thanks for tagging me, but I don't have the technical knowledge to actually post it.
Great post, thanks for sharing. Mom bags all contain the same sorts of things, too much!
