What's In My Bag

I decided to join the link up for "What's In My Bag" this week.  I will be honest in that I feel like my purse actually had pretty normal items in it!  I've been known to keep an extra pair of socks, dental floss, and some other interesting items with me.  But, I have learned to tone it down a bit, storing only the essentials.  First off, I didn't take a photo of my handbag.  It's a black leather bag by Kate Spade and is similar to this one.  Here's what's inside it:

I always keep these sunglasses with me, but often find myself wearing the $10 ones I keep in my car.  They just fit me better and I could care less if they get scratched or broken by one of the kids.

Grape Ice Cubes are my favorite gum hands down.  I always keep those, another fun flavor, and good old original Trident with me.

You can never have enough lipsticks and gloss.

Have I mentioned I'm a candy junkie?  You never know when you'll need a little sugar boost.  And, it's my secret ammunition in desperate times with the kids.  You mommas know what I mean.

I need to wear my reading glasses more than I do, but at least I always have them with me!

My favorite wallet.  I've had it for years and it still looks brand new.

Yep, that's a rock.  Brady painted this rock at daycare.  When he gave it to me he was so proud of his masterpiece.  I was beaming that the paint was on a rock and not my walls and doors for a change.  I've kept it with me since then and after today it has found it's way from my purse to my office desk.

Fun notepads for Tess always come in handy.

I always have extra hair ties and lip chap.  Even though I start most morning with my hair done, it's' typically on top of my head by 4pm.  And yes...I've always called it lip chap. ;)
