Bag It.

Dear Diary, 

     I've decided to jot down what I think your bag says about you.Here we go. 

1. The Apocalypse Mom. This is the mom who is prepared. For. Anything. Literally. As in, your bag consists of: 

Tylenol, diapers, wipes, Desitin, Puffs, baby food, baby spoons, bibs, burp cloths, your wallet, chapstick, bottles, a can of formula, fruit snacks, granola bars, bottled water, books, building blocks, pictures, multiple sets of keys, a change of clothes for each child, camera, hand sanitizer, a planner, iPad, napkins, straws, Ziploc bags, candy wrappers, gum, perfume, lotion, toothpaste, a toothbrush, sippy cups, eye drops, Kleenex...and possibly a small animal, such as a Chihuahua. 

This mom is usually on the fly, likes adventure, is a kid-lover, and lets things roll off her back easily. 

2. The Minimalist. This is the mom who can't stand extras and has mastered the art of bringing along only the necessities. This mom also has smaller muscles than The Apocalypse Mom and probably makes multiple trips back home when she runs into problems. Her bag consists of: 

Duct tape, cash, a teething toy, a mini Ziploc bag of wipes, and a cloth. That should cover everything- like loud children, trips to McDonalds, whiny teethers, and bathroom accidents.

This mom is on the ball, orderly, and a little more strict than the average Jane. But she mothers like a boss.

3. The Classic. This mom buys a bag that looks like it fits the average amount of baby goodies and calls it good. It consists of: 

A changing pad, an already-prepared bottle, diapers, wipes, her wallet and a couple of books and toys.  

This mom operates on a schedule, times her trips to the grocery store just right, and over all just tries to make life easier on herself by planning ahead. She doesn't fly by the seat of her pants, but she doesn't stick to strict schedules either. 

4. The Eco-friendly Mom. This mom struts her stuff in style with her organic baby bag. She shops at Whole Foods, volunteers at animal shelters on weekends, makes sure to buy milk that came from cows not treated with rbST, and quite possibly drives a Chevy Volt. Her bag consists of: 

Annie's Homegrown Organic Bunny Fruit Snacks, cloth diapers, cloth wipes, a Medela hand pump and bottle, a baby wrap, and a Hooter Hider. 


                          This mom knows no limits. She is fearless, taking trips to the zoo, museums and the great outdoors multiple times a week. She is a domestic goddess and keeps her family and friends very close. 

  5. The Fancy Mom. This mom is used to struttin her stuff in style and isn't going to let poopy diapers stop her. Her bag consists of: 

Multiple credit cards, a spare pair of Jack & Lily toddlers shoes, a bleach pen, a small pouch of candy from that fancy candy store in the mall that costs $2.00 for a gummy shark, some red lipstick, and her entire make up kit. She may or may not have left all her other baby items at home. Can you blame her? It looks just like a purse! Aaaand possibly because the purse was so expensive, there is no money left for anything else.

This mom has a good heart. She probably doesn't have more than a couple of children and she enjoys spending time with her girlfriends and her hubby. She is mostly a home body, but enjoys getting a breath of fresh air every now and then. She is confident, yet classy and likes to be tidy at all times. 


So- which one are you??? Let's hear it in the comments or on my Facebook page. 

Sincerely, 

Me.
