An impromptu trip to Target somehow resulted in me wanting to clean out my purse and after pulling everything out I just had to take a picture. LOL I mean really, how funny is this mash up? Everything in it has a story or explanation. So I’ll give you one.
Backstory: When my amazing husband bought me my first “grown women” purse for Mother’s Day this year I was SO excited to fill it up with stuff. At the time, all I had to put in it was my wallet and Carmex. Seemed pretty sufficient, until the devil on my left shoulder needed MORE. As a former no-purse-wearing-women I always just assumed that if you had a purse it had to be filled all the way up. Wrong. I now know that bags fill themselves or at least mine did.
Explanation—
Socks. Let us first address the elephant in the room, or in this case the rolled up socks. I bring an extra pair of socks with me, because it’s summer time and you can more than likely you will catch me bare foot or in my Birkenstocks. We’ve been going to a lot of bounce house, toddler friendly places lately with my son, which don’t allow bare feet, hence the socks. And yes, they are clean.
Deodorant. It's summer time and if you don't have this in your bag, or on your person, just know I am judging you.
Baby food. We call these squeezies(squeeze-zees). I keep one of these on hand if I bring Cameron(my toddler monster) with me. He loves them and I love them, because their organic, they keep him quiet and it's my way of sneaking in more veggies.
Journal. For any moment that needs to be recorded, new ideas, strange thoughts, things that need to be remembered, random story I want to blog/share about, etc.
Hand Sanitizer. I've been needing to throw this shit away! I bought it when I was on my I-need-to-fill-this-purse-up-right-now kick and it is terrible. It leaves my hands sticky and not smelling like lemons as it advertises. Did I just get a bad one? Is it expired? Does sanitizer expire?
Air Pods + Headphones. The Air Pods are my husbands and I put them in my purse because he leaves his things laying around and that is my way of making sure it "doesn't go missing." *insert evil laugh* The head phones are mine of course. Does anyone else still use the original free headphones that come with the iPhone?
Tampon/Pad. I have been that girl before walking around without my "proper materials" for that time-of-the-month, because Mother Nature does what the hell she wants and comes whenever the hell she feels like it. But now I am forever traumatized and prepared.
Pen. In case I need to sign some autographs. Y'all know I'm an author now right?
School ID. Yes, I am a full time student. I am studying Communications and this mug shot ID was required to record my attendance.
Coupon. I love me some steals and deals. And this coupon in particular is for Old Navy and their baby clothes are everything. So this will come in handy when I need to size up on Cams clothes again.
Carmex. Again, if your lips are ashy and-or chapped and you're not prepared to moisturize them, I. Am. Judging. You!
Keys. Because I can't go anywhere without them.
Moral of the story: Don't be fooled by these whats-in-my-bag pictures you see on Pinterest, THEY. AREN'T. REAL.
