  I just bought a new handbag, a bit bigger than my last one as I found that I couldn't fit everything in it, this one also has a long strap so I can put it across my body as it kept slipping off while I was trying to deal with my 3 kids.

  So I am setting it up and was wondering what everyone else has in there's. Does everyone have a huge bag to carry everything, or do you travel light and hope for the best (no accidents or up-chucks) I am sure it depends on the age and how many kids, so I have a 4 year old, a two year old toilet training and a breastfeeding and solids eating 6 month old.

  Here is what is in my bag, feel free to suggest anything else and I am interested to see what others have

  purse

  mobile

  camera (my mobile is not that snazzy!)

  umbrella

  toy cars and baby rattle

  wipes

  2 spare nappies and bags

  spare shorts for 2 year old, spare outfit for baby

  hand cleaner

  plastic bib

  rusks and friut sticks for snacks

  bottle of water

  bandaids, tea tree oil, mousteriser, lip balm (all sample sizes)

  pen 

  sunscreen tube

  We have a dedicated satchel bag with all the essentials for when we head out, but for a quick trip I put a few things in my handbag.
  I have a couple of spare large clip lock bags for soiled or wet clothing

  My handbag is exactly that mine lol so it has my purse, phone, ipod touch, my glasses, spare pads, and my bank books. Ive never really packed a huge bag with the little ones even when they were both in nappies. Now when im out with my 4 year old and 2 year old toilet trainer i take an itti bitt wetbag with hats, a few pairs of jocks and 1 pair of shorts 1 mcn wipes and spare wetbag and one pair of knickers for the 4 year old just in case. When they were babies you would find a few nappies each, a bottle and 3 feeds of formula, a spare pair of clothes, wipes and bibs and hats.

  I remember many many years ago, heading out for my first childless night with some friends leaving my about 3yo and 6month baby at home. I stopped in the local bottle shop. I had my trusty back pack (all the rage in the mid 90s) and I was looking for my purse.....out came a box of sultanas, dummy, finger puppets, spare jocks etc etc I placed all on the counter whilst I looked for my purse LOL

  Dunno, but I can usually find something I need if I dig long enough! Usuallly things like spare undies, nappies, wipes, keys, snacks (melted mis-shapen freddo frogs!), coins rattling round the bottom inside the lining because I keep forgetting to turn it inside out and sew it up... nothing specially generally. By the time I had my 3rd I'd learned to travel pretty light ;-)
