What's in mommy's bag?


I've been feeling so bogged down and stressed lately, I thought it would be nice to do a semi-fun post. 
So here's a picture of what's in my purse/mommy bag. I decided to do one bag for myself because it was too much to have a separate diaper bag for everyday use. I do sometimes want a slightly bigger bag but I am so partial to my star wars Disney backpack because of my son, Jedi, that I can't make myself change it yet haha! 

First up is the backpack. I got it in Disneyland just before my son was born. It was too cute not to get it. Our son is Jedidiah but he goes by Jedi, so you can see why I would need it! It's not super big but also not too small for everyday use. I also really love having a backpack so I'm handsfree for baby. 
The first big thing I have is our changing pad. It's the skip hop changing station, we received from my niece. I have just unzipped the diaper clutch part and folded it up to fit in my bag. It's great for changing anywhere on the go! And believe me I've changed my son on tables in restaurants because they didn't have tables in the restrooms! I can't believe how many places don't have them, but that's besides the point. 
Then I carry a ziplock of diapers and wipes, just keeps everything clean without having too much package bulk. We also carry extra ziplocks to the doctor because we aren't allowed to throw them away at our pediatricians office. We use hello hello products and love them! 
I always carry an extra outfit too just in case of blowouts or random pukes. Just whatever is clean at the moment, which in this pic happens to be his cowboys outfit, from one of his many aunt's! Whoo! 
I also have my date book for doctor's appointments and my checkbook just in case and of course my wallet and keys. And a foldup reusable bags for random shopping trips. A bag of random change and a dried up wet wipes, which I used to dry my tears the other day, when I couldn't find tissue. Haha! Don't act like you haven't done it! 
In my small pocket, I carry pens and highlighters for bible study. A booger sucker, which I never hardly need and an Altoids container with ibuprofen. Some lipsticks, cause hey I still want to be pretty! Some nipple cream just in case and the best thing, gas drops! Mylicon or any brand of gas drops are a life saver for our son. He had such problems in the beginning and these helped soooo much! Now we use em just a couple times a day and before bed. But if you are suffering from no sleep go try them! You can get them for $4 at Walmart! 
So that's a look into my mommy bag, any products you can't leave the house without?
