Every time I see my mother she always why my bag is so heavy. Well that’s easy–I have a 3-year-old. I refuse to carry two separate bags so I just cram all of our stuff in one. Good for my back? Probably not. Better than lugging around two bags? Totally.
So what’s in the darn thing? Well in addition to all of my essentials–keys, cell phone, wallet–I always carry these 10 things for my daughter.
