What's in the Bag?

Here's a fun game for you: What's in the bag?
Well, in my house, it depends on WHICH bag you're referring to.
By my front door there are three bags currently residing.  A bag for general tote around, a black briefcase style bag, and a drawstring bag.  There's a canvas tote bag that should also reside there.  As well as two diaper bags, always in various locations.

General Tote Around

This lovely little thing was one of the Barnes & Noble ten dollar specials from last summer.  I positively love this thing.  Currently, there's not much in it.
-Multiple colored gel pens
-An address book
-A planner
-Small tube of sunblock for the kiddos

Black Briefcase Style Bag

This bag came from a KMart store clearance.  They were shutting down one locally that didn't get a lot of business, so voila, another ten dollar steal.  This isn't the EXACT same as mine, but it's close.  I don't actually use the laptop portion of it for a laptop, but it keeps things situated and organized.  Current contents include:
-Yankee Candle Fundraising stuff
-A 1" three-ring-binder that contains all my additional stuff for fundraising research and what-not
-A couple black pens
-A highlighter
-Some lip gloss and mascara
-A teething ring
-Two rolls of carnival tickets
-Sometimes a Leapster Explorer

Drawstring "Cinch" Bag

These things are great.  If you don't own at least one... INVEST.
Navy Pride Cinch Bag
-Two 1" three-ring-binders that contain all my Family Readiness Group stuff
-A "Studs 'N' Spurs" calendar that was a Christmas gift, so I "have something to drool over when my Cowboy's gone".  When Cowboy's gone, it's also a great laugh to pull it out when I need to plan something, and it does brighten up the day
-A black pen
-A pencil

Summer Fun Cinch Bag


*Picture has been temporarily removed until I can take my own and post. Please refer to Roni Loren blog post linked at the bottom of this post.*


-Sunblock ranging from SPF4 to SPF55
-A few beach toys
-Occasionally there's a few bottles of water in it

Canvas Tote

Again, just similar.  But mine's more blue than this and has COMPASS on the front.
-ALL the stuff given to us by the wonderful women who teach the Norfolk COMPASS course for Navy spouses. <3

Diaper Bags

*Picture has been temporarily removed until I can take my own and post. Please refer to Roni Loren blog post linked at the bottom of this post.* Cowboy's
*Picture has been temporarily removed until I can take my own and post. Please refer to Roni Loren blog post linked at the bottom of this post.* Mine 

Okay, so the first is technically a "Car Organizer"--it's a diaper bag. Lol.  Both of these contain the same things:
-At LEAST two outfit changes
-As many diapers as can be stuffed inside
-A toy or stuffie of some sort
-A package of wipes (usually the smaller soft plastic cased ones)
-Empty bottles
-Bottles of water
-Snacks for bigger kids
-Juice boxes for bigger kids
-Mini first aid kit
-Neosporin
-Baby hat
-Sunblock

Well, there you have it.  These are the main contents of the bags around our house.  Sometimes you can also find my tablet in them, but not always.  Usually my wallet and keys are whatever bag we're using for the day.  And in extreme cases, like this past week in its entirety, Cowboy's cell phone could be found in my diaper bag. D'oh?
