I think my purse reflects me. It's nothing really that special. Having 4 kids and being a SAHM doesn't allow me to spend too much on myself. I've recently downsized. My purse is just big enough to carry my essentials, but not too big so it doesn't become a catch-all. I weed out all the junk every time I sit down to write the bills. I used to carry a large purse, but then I decided all it did for me was allow me to carry too many papers and toys.
This is my purse:
After looking at this photo, I realized my wallet has seen better days, and I need a new one! I have $61.00 in it. I always carry cash because being a mom of 4, three of which are in school, I'm always handing money out for something - lunch money, allowance, money for the book fair, etc
I also carry my checkbook, Rimmel Stay Matte powder foundation, glasses (I only use them to drive at night or to watch a movie), coupon books for the local restaurants (my mother-in-law bought these for me), 50/50 tickets that my boys are selling for their baseball teams, lip gloss, and lip liner.
In my little side pocket, I have my cell phone, insurance and library card, chap stick, Bath and Body Works lip gloss, my son's money, and tweezers (I was looking for those!).
At the bottom of my purse, I found my car keys, a cherry Halls cough drop, and a quarter.
Now I want to see what's in your purse! Will you show and tell? I challenge Lizzy, Becky Leslie, Debbie, Leah, Kila, Kitty, Mary, Dawn, Summer, BurghBaby, Zoe, Shellie, and Amy. Is there anyone else who would like to do it? Please share!

LOL, it's always a kick to see what other moms cart around, isn't it?
I did a post last fall about this, because I was having these unexplained headaches...

Wow...I'm going to do this. Because I need to. Will be visible on my blog by Friday for sure. Thanks for a great idea.
I love that Bath & Body Works mint lip gloss - YUMMY!
WOW I am impressed. Everything looks so neat and so - little. I mean little as in not much, LOL. I cleaned out my purse in January and posted about it. I think I need to clean it out again though, LOL.

I love it!! I'd be scared to do that to mine! LOL!
You've got it down to the essentials! Not a lot of extra junk in your purse. I've usually got quite a few weird and unnecessary items in my purse. Thanks for the challenge, it sounds like fun.;)
Not bad! You do a pretty excellent job of travelling light. They say purses are a good way to sort out the rookie moms from the pros. I guess we shall see whenever I remember to take photos of mine. ;-)
LOL! I'm interested to see what I'll find in mine! This will be fun! ha ha!
I, too, carry a rather small purse, but it still seems to get packed full and I haven't gone through it in awhile.
Thanks for tagging me, I'll do this for tomorrow's blog entry!
Okay,..you've just given me a panic attack Maria! :o) I'll do it, but it won't be as pretty and organized as yours I'm afraid! BTW, I love your purse, very cute! Also, since I missed you on Friday, just wanted to say Happy Belated Birthday to your "baby boy"! (he'll ALWAYS be your baby afterall!)

It's always fun to see what others are carrying around! I cleaned my purse before vacation...so it's not very interesting!
Does this mean I'm not allowed to clean it out BEFORE I take the challenge? Ok, you asked for it. I'll get to it later this week!
I feel so voyeuristic. But I love knowing what other people have in their purses.
I love B&BW lip gloss. Oh, and money. I love money.
I like how you keep to the basics!
Thanks for the tag. I'll get on it!
I love this meme - I just did it.
Nice purse BTW!
LOL when I saw my name at the end!
Good job keeping yours under control. I, too, try not to have a large purse, because it just gets filled with stuff, yet there needs to be a little extra room.
I'll do this one when I get a chance. Thanks for thinking of me ;)
Oh how fun! I posted about his once already, and things haven't changed much so I'll repost it with a picture of my purse ...I must say yours is pretty nice and orderly.
ps thanks again for tagging me, my purse pics are up now!
I have been enjoying these purse memes. It is always fun to see what inside!
Your purse is so compact. I'm still lugging around some baby things.
I'm just starting to read your blog.
Come over to see my blog if you can.
thanks.
thanks for sharing your world...lol...that's what I call mine...:-)
Oh my goodness - I'm not sure I can possibly show what's in my handbag (that's what we call a 'purse' ... and we call your 'wallet' a 'purse' - complicated, isn't it?!)
Hmmmm - I'll think about it, ok? x
I use my glasses exactly the way you do.
That's a pretty spare purse for a mom of four!
