I finally took the time to clean out my purse tonight and a lot of mysteries were revealed; like why it has been so damn heavy!! I was carrying around a rock for God’s sake!!
I also realized that without a doubt I am indeed the mother of a boy. See above.
I also have a bit of a lip gloss hoarding problem and a weakness for gummy candy.
Other surprises included two packages of Wet Ones, an over stuffed wallet, a bunch of trash, two pairs of glasses (one case was empty!), a magazine I swiped from a doctor’s office and will probably never find the time to read, a toy car, a pair little boy’s undies (more evidence of being a mom to a boy), 6 bangles and a pair of earrings from my last date night, an empty(!) water bottle, and a very lovely (yet unnecessary) thank you gift all the way from Canada. Thanks, Robin!
When was the last time you cleaned out your purse? Any interesting discoveries?

OMG Haribo Gold Bears! I wouldn’t be carrying them around – because they would be all gone. 🙂
And hah! An actual rock!
I actually had to tear myself away from them at the super market today. They are too good!!
Lucas likes them too.
And yes, a rock!! A big heavy one, can you believe it? Boys!!
In my bag, you’d be sure to find mosquito repellent, sun screen, a bottle or two of water, hand wipes, my wallet, biscuits and apple sauce, a load of bits of papers the girls have drawn/written words on for me, gum, an empty sun glasses case as I’m nearly always wearing my glasses, lip gloss, pain killers, my phone… I think I might empty it again as it weighs a ton! I might in fact have 3 or 4 bottle of water in it and a heap of unnecessary things that I have been carrying around in days 🙂
I’ve also already carried rocks, shells, seeds and leaves 😉
However, I’m sure your bag is way better organized then mine!
XOXO
No, everything was just chucked in there and weighted a ton!! I really need to be better about clearing it out.
A rock? I love it. This is the reason I wear a cross-body bag in the summer and tell the kids to carry their own crap! In the winter though I’m a hoarder just like you.
I desperately need one of those… Which one do you have?
Also, no one needs six lip glosses. No one!
So why did Hollywood turn on Gweneth?
My bag gets cleaned out regularly, so the worst of it is receipts from last shopping excursion. Don’t ask me about my kitchen counter, though (where the receipts usually end up).
I still don’t know what’s up with Gwenie. She is such a bug.
I have a huge canvas bucket filled with junk in my kitchen too. In fact, much of what I took out of my purse ended up in it. Sigh…
This made me laugh. As the Mom of two little girls, I frequently find “beautiful” dead flowers in my pockets and bags- AND I STILL AM UNABLE TO THROW THEM AWAY.
will you clean out mine for me? i’m frankly scared of what might be living inside of it. it’s really heavy, too. i keep thinking someday i’ll clean it out, but right now it’s just not at the top of my priority list. snort!
p.s. is that one of those Eos lip glosses? the pink rubber ball thing? or is that an actual rubber ball? that’s what it looked like to me, and i only ask b/c i have a lip gloss hoarding problem, too. Eos and burt’s bees are among my faves.
Good eye!! Yes, it is an eos lip gloss. I love it! I have three. Only one shown above. (:
All I saw when I saw that picture was those stinking Haribo Gummies. Those would NEVER be in my purse. They would all be in my belly.
Yum.
This reminds me that I need to clean my purse(s). The only reason I change purses is because I am too overwhelmed by the mess in one and decide to switch over to escape my demons. And rocks. And stale mints.
😉
Those bears!! Grrr…. I polished that bag off today.
I always have too much trash (mostly receipts), snacks (for myself as much as the kids), pens, and a way-too overstuffed wallet.
Yep. We’re moms. (:
You are brave! My purse makes me hang my head in shame. My filing system for receipts appears to be stuffing them into my purse and shoving my wallet on top of them, “hiding” them…
I am very familiar with that filing system. (:
My purses are always too big and I end up carrying around more then is necessary but I often go from work to a night out so I feel like I always have to be prepared for everything. I’ll take your chapsticks that you ever get rid of. 🙂 I like having one everywhere I am: at my desk at work, in the living room, in my car, in the kitchen, at my desk at home, and of course with all my other makeup.
You want my old chap sticks? Ew.
Oh my, yeah that’s a lot of stuffs to be carrying around 😀 Mine doesn’t have that much stuffs now but I remember those days.
I think I need a smaller bag.
So, tell me, which lip gloss is your favorite of those? 😉
This looks very similar to mine and yes the rock cracks me up!!
That’s a great question… they are all different; different flavors, different shimmers and hues, different brands, etc.
You know, sometimes you just need moisture, other times you want to plump. Some are balms, some are sticks, others glosses. And I can’t imagine ever using one all up.
See? I told you I had a problem.
Aqua man undies!!! Eddie has those!
And I don’t even carry a purse at this stage. I just toss my wallet in a diaper bag. Or just take the wallet if the kids aren’t with me.
(I should admit to also having a lip gloss hoarding problem. They are everywhere. Every drawer, purse, wallet, bag…every where.
The inside of my purse is a scary place. 😉
I’ve found more rocks in there than I can count, too!
I tend to find rocks, hair clips, lip gloss and decorations from around the house in my purse. None of which are supposed to be in there. When I ask how they got there, a certain little person just smiles and says “I don’t know.”
