What's in The Bag?

I got tagged by Marin a couple days ago, but had to sit and think about how to organize. And define. I have 4 bags, but one is toys and papers to entertain the kids at church, and the other is only used for travel (you can slide any Harry Potter into it without changing the shape--perfect for a carry-on), so they're out. Here's the other two:

My purse for going out without children--dates, girls' night, whatever.


Contents: 1 purse hook
1 eyeglass case, empty
1 pen, black
3 lipgloss, various shades
1 eyeliner
1 blush brush
1 lip balm
1 hair comb
assorted hairpins
2 peppermint candies
1 sticker backing

The Diaper Bag--holder of anything that might be remotely important.


Contents: 1 ultrasound capture
5 diapers, clean
1 wipes case w/ 2 wipes
1 nursery rhyme book
1 eyeshadow compact
1 antibacterial hand wash
1 tin of floss
1 box of seed beads
1 gingerbread-shaped ornament
2 immunization records (1 per child)
1 pre-soaped washcloth
assorted candy
assorted bureaucratic paper-crap
assorted family pictures for Primary activity
assorted thank you cards from people at church
1 planner
7 hair clips
1 picot ribbon
1 tape measure
2 hospital bracelets from Elena's birth
1 clip-on necktie
2 pair mittens/gloves
1 pair dirty socks
1 disposable bib
assorted feminine products
1 liquid eyeliner, dark brown
1 mascara, black
1 lipgloss
1 pen, blue
1 mechanical pencil
collection of HEBuddy points
pile of old receipts, expired coupons, etc.

It's amazing what you can fit in something so small. I'm really, really glad I only have a small bag, and not one of the monstrous cavern-bags. Who knows what you'd find there. Anyway: Regan and Christina, you are tagged. If anyone else what's to show off, go for it.

You definitely have some random stuff in there! Hospital bracelets from Elena's birth?? I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do. Do I have to lay out and photograph everything in every bag I carry, or just the main, everyday ones? I don't carry nearly as much stuff as you do, so I guess this won't be too tough!

It's supposed to be your purse, but every mom knows that your purse is usually the diaper bag. I do have a different purse for going out without kids and that's why I included it. Do whatever you like.

And I know my diaper bag is a bottomless pit of weird stuff--you'll notice I did not enumerate every little thing in there, because it would have gone on for three pages. I think I forgot to write my wallet down, too, and it's even in the picture.
