I love having a big purse because I love being prepared…for anything! So I have more then ten things in my purse, and I also carry a lot of the kids’ things in my purse. Here are 10 things I have in my purse today for Tuesday Ten:
10. Fun Chop – We ate dinner at Pei Wei the other night. Emmy loves using Fun Chop to help her hold chop sticks, and Lily insists on holding her chopsticks without it, so I always end up with one in my purse. What is a Fun Chop? It’s a plastic chop sticks holder that keeps them together so that all kids have to do is squeeze the chopsticks like a big pair of tweezers. Fun!
9. Chicago Wolves hockey cards – We went to a hockey game on Sunday, and everyone got a free pack of hockey cards!
8. My Nook – I normally don’t carry my Nook in my purse, but this afternoon I had my mammogram. I need something to read besides those outdated fashion magazines that hang out in medical facilities. Today I was reading Then I Became a Mother by Robin Kramer. Wait until you read my review later this month…it’s so good!
7. Spray hand sanitizer – no explanation needed!
6. My keys – with two beaded key chains that Lily and Emmy each made for me when they were in preschool.
5. My wallet – full of essentials.
4. Bubble Yum bubblegum, which Emmy insisted on buying during our trip to Target during Lily’s piano lesson.
3. Blistex and other lip balms and lip sticks, to make my lips pretty!
2. A small notebook and a pen – to write notes in at meetings or for blog posts, and to keep my children occupied if they get bored.
1. My camera in its pink case – for my blog and to take pictures of the girls. I also take videos with my camera, like this one I took at the beginning of the Wolves game on Sunday. (Ed was a little disappointed that they don’t play Def Leppard’s “Rocket” any more, but they still do a pretty awesome job!)
Tuesday Ten is hosted by Lisa from The Golden Spoons and Rabia from The Liebers, and they want to know what’s in your purse!
What is the most unique item in your purse right now?
Love it! I have more than ten things in my purse, too. I’ve read Robin’s book and it is wonderful!

Totally read Robin’s book, too and going to be reviewing on my blog, too. So good and totally enjoyed 🙂

It is really a great book! Robin is such a good writer.

I also have spray hand sanitizer – and I have the special kind that is actually made for Norovirus because most normal antiseptics don’t cover the stomach bug! (I’m insane. Sent away on amazon for it)
But hey..it’s working.

My tube was a freebie from the fire department’s open house…it probably doesn’t kill Norovirus. But it’s handy any way!
I think our purses have fairly similar things – except I don’t have playing cards or a chopsticks thing.

Those are cards of all the hockey players on the Wolves team, kind of like baseball cards–I’d rather have playing cards! These will probably end up in the recycling bin!

I’m with you on the big purse – mine is ridiculously huge because it’s a combination of diaper bag and teacher bag as well as purse!
Fun chop! That’s brilliant!

I don’t have to carry diapers, but I do use my purse to carry books to read to my preschool students! I love it!
I need that Fun Chop – no matter how hard I try, I cannot get the hang of chopsticks. I think I embarrass my husband. I’m the gal at the sushi place that has to ask for a fork.:(

I get tired of using chop sticks and switch to a fork! The Fun Chop would be great for adults, too. 🙂

It that a Gigi Hill purse? That is my favorite pattern of theirs. I heard they went out of business.

I love carrying a notebook and pen too! The fun chops are such a good idea 🙂

Fun post! My Dad had a deal with a friend that no matter where they were if he gave her 50 cents he could dump the contents of her purse.

Hi Ginny! Stopped by after seeing you on Rabia’s site! I LOVE the idea of Tues Ten and can’t get enough of purse dumps for some reason…I think it’s because it tells a lot about the person! I’m so lame in the purse department. I have a few REALLY nice purses that I never carry because it’s almost always raining or snowing here. 🙁 So instead I just throw my wallet and keys in my diaperbag. I guess the most interesting thing in my ‘purse’ would be a nose sucker. 😉

What a great peek! I always carry Burts Bees lip balm. I have tried many brands, but the tinted is my favorite. Pretty wallet too BTW!

I don’t use a purse anymore. I only need my keys and my wallet. And they fit in my jacket pocket.
The funchop sounds like a good idea. I never eat at a Chinese or Japanese restaurant (anymore), but chop sticks are a big no to me! Can’t handle them. At all!!
Mara recently posted…Why?
“Assorted lip supplies” seem to be a common theme in people’s purses. My youngest son loves “stapstick” so he always has one in each pocket. Maybe I should get him a purse!!

I love my kids creativity, i can grab office supplies out my satchel when were at dinner and they come up with all kinds of things to play.
