Let’s Dive Into ‘What’s in My Mom Bag?’

Hey there, fellow parents! You know how celebrities often flaunt their perfectly organized bags in those “What’s in My Bag?” features? They pull out chic lip gloss, trendy moisturizers, and healthy snacks, all neatly arranged. Every time I see those, I can’t help but feel a bit envious. If you peeked into my bag, though, you’d find a different story.

Let’s be real: my bag is more like a chaotic treasure chest, filled with items that tell the tale of daily life with kids. So, let’s play the real version of “What’s in My Bag?” Buckle up—it’s about to get messy!

First up, Crumpled Tissues Galore:

You can bet there are a handful of these lurking at the bottom of my bag. When my little one sneezes, it’s like a scene out of a horror movie, and without tissues, I’ve resorted to using receipts. And don’t even get me started on the chewed gum situation—old tissues come in handy for that too!

Then we have Old Snacks:

I try to pack healthy snacks before outings, but when my kid claims he’s starving, I often end up giving in to the ice cream demands. After a week or so, I’ll dig through my bag and discover a crushed bag of goldfish or a forgotten Nutri-Grain bar. And hey, if you’re desperate, you can always sneak a few snack crumbles at the park—not that I’ve done that… recently.

Next, Coins Everywhere:

When my kid wants something, I’m usually in a rush, scrambling to grab change. So, my bag becomes a mini coin bank, but somehow, I can never find a quarter when it’s time to pay the parking meter.

And let’s not forget Expired Coupons:

I’m a coupon clipper at heart, but once I’m done shopping, I’m too pooped to search for them. Those Bed Bath & Beyond coupons, though? I hoard those like gold, because they never expire. Along with the coupons, my bag collects receipts, which, let’s be honest, double as emergency nose-wiping tools.

Wallet-Sized Photos of My First Kid:

Remember when I used to hand these out? Now they’re just floating among the chaos, remnants of my better-organized days.

What else is in there?

Random action figures, hair ties, baseball cards, notes from school, bottle caps—you name it! My kids toss everything at me with a casual “Here, Mom!” or leave it behind for me to sort out. I have to pick it up; otherwise, I’ll face the inevitable “Where’s my dinosaur toy?” meltdown.

So, am I really a total mess, or are those celebs just fooling us with their staged bags? Maybe I’m not so different after all; you’ll also find a fabulous lip gloss in my bag—just with a piece of Fruit Roll-Ups stuck to the side.
