What’s in my bag?

Wednesday, December 30, 2015 Leave a Comment

I bet you are dying… just dying to know what this busy mom of two carries in her bag ;)

What's In My Bag?  Take a look at what essentials this busy mom of two carries in her bag.  @mamamissblog

So, What’s In My Bag?

I’m totally spilling the beans on what I keep in my giant mama bag at all times!

BTW, I’m currently I’m OBSESSED with all things mint & gold – it’s my favorite color combo at the moment – I love love love the mint and gold.





 

THE NECESSITIES:

[1] The bag.  The kids are constantly asking me to hold, this & hold that – a jacket, a doll, a stuffed Chewbacca – all that “stuff” can be thrown in, along with possibly the kitchen sink – it’s GIANT lol.

[2] My tools pouch.  This zipper bag holds my earphones (for moments of alone mama time where I can plug in a podcast or quick song on my phone), notepad, pens, a pencil, and sticky tabs (for tabbing pages in my mag, notepad, or sketchpad).

[3] My sketchpad.  I would be utterly  lost without this.  It holds all my ideas (before I transfer them to my planner), swatches, fabrics, doodles, sketches – it’s my own private oasis of me.

[4] My monthly magazine subscription.  I rarely have time to read them, that’s why they get thrown into my bag, for those moments I have a sec.  I never know when I’ll have random downtime – when V&T are in a class, or waiting for V’s girl scouts – I’d rather read something quick, paper-wise vs. pulling out the phone & getting sucked in to all things social media.

[5] Snacks.  A mom without snacks, well, you don’t want to know – it’s not pretty.  For myself, and for the kiddos (sometimes even hubs), I usually have some sort of trail mix in my bag.  Salty & sweet fills the cravings in between meals with a little bit of healthier protein.  Plus the great thing about trail mixes is that they can fall to the bottom of your bag, get buried, get crushed, and they are as good as new – unlike a granola bar or crackers that would inevitably get annihilated in a bottomless bag massacre.

[6] Sunglasses.  There really isn’t anything else to say except I’d rather not add to my wrinkles by squinting, so these are a must!

 

THE IMPORTANT EXTRAS:

[7] Business Cards.  It always happens – whenever I run into someone where I NEED my business cards, I never have them!  Not anymore. I have one of those handy-dandy hard case credit card wallets – I removed the inside plastic holder for credit cards & it’s now a perfect hard case for my business cards.

[8] Colored Pencils.  Sometimes a girl has got to get out of the black & white and use a little color.  I try to always have these in my bag to add to any sketches in my sketchpad.  They are also great for V&T to use as well, in those downtimes at restaurants and doctors visits.

[9] My makeup pouch.  The little bag holds my chapstick, lip-gloss, mirror (I gotta be selfie ready ;), girl stuff, medicine, gum, mints, ponytail holders (for V & me), and hand cream – whew it is TRULY amazing what I can fit into that little pouch I tell ya!

[10] Boogie Wipes.  THESE are a lifesaver!!  These two little ones of mine (4 & 6) want to be soooo big all the time and have now come to the point in time where mama spit on the finger, is just not okay (nor does the job) anymore – I had to bring in the big guns!!  These little saline wipes are genius – they are extra soft, with saline built in, and available in 3 scents (V&T love the grape as you can see).  Psst, you can always grab a coupon for these nose wipes on their site here too.

📌 “We spend January 1st walking through our l 📌 “We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🤗 How did you celebrate the arrival of 2021? 

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.
🧀Everything else is from @traderjoes

Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!! Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!!🤗 (now if all my other mail I’m waiting on would arrive 🧐😩)

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
