Roo at Nice Girl Notes (seriously one of my favorite bogs evah) is hosting a ‘What’s in your bag?’ linkup so I thought I’d share.
I get asked a lot about my life, and how I manage it all. This bag (Banana Republic tote available in various colors in store) is my life. I love that it can fit all my tech gear (laptop, iPad, iPhone, and chargers) and all my other stuff.
I just tidied it up, generally it’s stuffed with a few more kid toys, and a toiletry bag as well, but I left that at home. I also have a coupon binder that holds coupons, membership cards, and other stuff I occasionally need that I left in my car.
At the moment the littlest boy and I are hanging at the bookstore while he peruses Captain Underpants books, and I get busy with emails.
Here’s what I have in my bag:
- Laptop and charger
- Etymotic earphones and case (Love these! You can ignore noisy baristas and whiny children-I’m talking about mine- with these.)
- Glasses so I can see, and glass cloth to clean the filth off
- Keychain with tags for the grocery store, gym and library
- Banana Republic yellow wallet (stuffed with receipts and cards, and cashola)
- Notebook with notes and for kid doodling and some paperwork I need to read
- Burt’s Bees lip balm
- Pen
- Pocket mirror (I never use it, but feel better having it on hand)
- Hair elastics (I’m wearing the bobby pins I found in my hair)
- Business cards: some for Splash, some for The Centsible Life
