What’s in your handbag?

I’m a member of BritMums, the largest parent blogging social network in the UK. BritMums is an amazing support network with educational opportunities, community-building and promotion for parent bloggers. One of our latest challenges is sharing “What’s in your handbag?” with the blogging community. I did a video blog about 18 months ago where I shared every single item in my handbag on CAMERA for the blogosphere. This time, we’ll stick with still life.

Name: Karin Joyce (aka Cafe Bebe)

Number of Children: 1.5

Items from left to right: small zippered bag w/ various lip glosses, inhaler, ponytail holders, make-it-better-cream Neosporin; won’t-leave-home-without-it London Guide; BritMums business cards; Cafe Bebe business cards; Soltan Kids 50 Sunscreen; Pen from The Portland Hospital; Box of Anadin paracetemol; Cuticura Hand Sanitizing Spray/Gel; Sunglasses; Baby Wipes; purse w/ various cards, vouchers, receipts & change but NO cash; t-shirt/shorts/pants for Ella

All of these items fit happily and spaciously in my NEW Mia Tui Changing Bag which I received to review from Charlotte, the genius behind Mia Tui. As we’re expecting a new Bebe in the household, I figured it was time for a new changing bag. Changing bags are just about as important to me as pushchairs. That’s important.

The Mia Tui Amelie bag which now graces my shoulder is simply delightful. I could probably put the baby IN IT when he or she arrives, it’s just that big! But it’s stylish, comfortable and sits easily and painlessly on my shoulder while carrying everything I need and then some. Mark laughs at me…I’m happy. That’s all that matters!

So that’s what’s in MY handbag! What’s in yours? Do you need to clean out your handbag before displaying its contents to the blogosphere? Well, start putting receipts and fluff in the bin and get thee to What’s in Your Handbag and share your secrets with the world.
