After my son was born I was dead set on still carrying my own bag; even though I have his diaper bag. I’m really glad I did since there have definitely been those moments when having a little extra of this, or that has really come in handy. This is my edited down list of what I carry. Sunnies are a must since I want to try and keep crows feet as far away as possible. Plus they’re cute!! So that’s a win win in my book!! Even though I’d love to wear heels all day every day; I don’t think my feet would be very happy with me. So I always travel with a cute pair of ballet flats. I have them in red and black. I was feeling a little sassy that day so red was the perfect color. Ohh and I can’t forget business cards!! My friend bought some really cool business cards from Metal Kards and I thought looked great which reminded me. Since I bought this business card holder it makes life a lot easier. Before I was always forgetting my business cards in this or that purse. This way they are easy to move back in forth. Ohhh and most important is this cute teddy bear binky holder. It’s a must. My son sleeps with this, travels with it, and if I want to have a good day I had better have it just in case he wants it. Ohh one more thing I can’t believe I almost forgot. I think I still have pregnancy brain!! Really it’s a real thing. My lab top pouch!! I can’t leave home without it!! It keeps my laptop protected, and it’s so cute!! It was a little bit of a splurge, but I love the bright colors!! I figure since it’s bright I can never accidentally forget it anywhere!! I’ll list everything else that’s in my bag below.

What are your plans for the holiday weekend? Manny and I are staying in town, and hosting a Labor Day cookout for a few of the guys left on the project that my husband is working on. Since most of us don’t have immediate family in the area; it’s nice to have a work family so to speak. Have a safe weekend!!
