bacpacjac, The contents of your purse may be more typical than you think. I carry pretty much the same thing except I have a few extras like a small crank flashlight, 2 handwarmers, the smallest umbrella I could find , (2) 1 gallon sized ziploc baggies and a large trash bag. In the winter I have to carry more handwamers. You'd be surprised how handy those are.
Thanks for the lightbulb moment Angel!
Good call on the bags & warmers - I'm adding them right now. I keep a few things for the kiddos in the outside pocket (they call it my "mama bear pocket".) Diapers, wipes, a soother, dinky car, action figure, etc.. I figure I've got multiple redundancy with lights - although I love crankers! (All my kids have at least one in their packs.) but there's always room for handwarmers - and pack it all in some baggies - duh!
I like the umberella too. I often throw in a couple of those cheapo rain ponchos but a small umberella would be a great addition!
