When I got into law school, I bought myself this Kate Spade satchel. It carried fancy pens and books with titles like "Contracts: Understanding the Legal Language" and "Fundamentals of Torts". That was a different life.
But becoming a Mommy doesn't mean you have to give up your fancy bags. My beloved Kate Spade is now a bonafide Mom bag.
Inside there are the baby necessities: diapers, wipes, and a snack of puffs to ward off an attack of the crankies. There are Mama necessities: too: wallet, lipgloss (okay...maybe 4 of them is a little overkill, but a girl has to have options) and cell phone.
Little Man's cell phone also lives in the bag, but the only person it calls is Mickey Mouse. Luckily, he is included in our circle of friends plan.
The iPod touch, which used to live in the bag for purposes of supplying music during study breaks is now used primarily for emergency episodes of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse when car trips become too long or when Mommy and Daddy would like more than 10 minutes to eat their food when dining out.
On any given day, there are a handful of toys located in the various pockets--usually some assortment of cars and noisemakers. These toys generally alternate with the ones on the floor of the car and hidden in the hidey-holes of Little Man's car seat.
There's no competition: what's in my bag now beats anything.
