Is That Bag Big Enough?!
I get this all the time. Mostly from men. And to answer the question, once and for all…
Well yes, thank you, it is.
I’m a Mom. I have to be prepared. And I have personally found it easier to carry one extra large bag, rather than a purse plus a diaper bag. I also realized after my first daughter was born, after I had carried with me everywhere a diaper bag weighing at least 20lbs filled with all of the baby ‘essentials‘, that most of the essentials aren’t actually essential. I now throw a few diapers and wipes in my bag, along with some baby Tylenol,a band-aid or two, and a binky and we’re set.
A woman’s bag reveals so much. A sneak peak will give you a glimpse into her life, her priorities…
So what does my bag and it’s contents reveal about me?
- The random Cheerios and Baby Einstein cell phone has Momma written all over it.
- The NINE tubes of lip balm is evidence of my obsession. Namely with Clinique Chubby Sticks and Fresh Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment.
- The fact that my Chi is in my bag, that is because I workout on my lunch break. This is also the reason for the two pairs of running socks tucked away in the corners. Gross! I know! One pair is clean…
- The Tide Pen…again…Momma.
- FOUR packs of gum. Hmmm? I rarely even chew gum. Interesting.
- Two set of earbuds, again, for the gym.
- The Crystal Light Tea Liquid and 100 calorie Emerald mixed nut pack hopefully suggest that I try to snack healthy.
- The old receipts, old tissues, and sticker remnants, well I guess that reveals that I am often in a hurry, and not often enough do I clean out my bag.
What does your bag say about you?
What??? No ziploc full of Fruit Loops?!
