I can’t deny missing a purse.\u00a0 My diaper bag is extremely awesome, in my opinion, but it’s not a purse.\u00a0 It’s bigger.\u00a0 Way bigger.\u00a0 Diaper bags, by design, carry mountains of supplies, snacks and toys, and I’ ve only owned purses that I could barely fit a wallet and some gum into.\u00a0 I liked them little…and besides, I would often have Dan around so I could fit any make-up, papers, cards, etc. in his pockets if I needed the extra space.<\/p>\n
But since the diaper bag, I find I crave space.\u00a0 I love being prepared for anything and I am definitely ‘that’ kind of mama.\u00a0 I would have kicked butt on that segment of the Let’s make a Deal<\/em> show.\u00a0 So when\u00a0I was getting ready to go back to work I decided that I needed some new clothes (the last time I wore my work clothes was around May-July 2006, and by then I found the ones I was wearing fairly ratty anyway).\u00a0 I also needed a new purse.\u00a0 And\u00a0I decided to go BIG this time.<\/p>\n I found a beautiful one for a decent price and snatched it up.\u00a0 Yesterday morning I put in my book, my lunch, some office supplies, my glasses, and when I was finished with it, my travel mug.\u00a0 And there was oodles of room left.\u00a0 Oodles and oodles.<\/p>\n But today I found myself questionning the choice to go BIG when, for the 16th time, I was having to stop to put the bag down so I could find my keys, cellphone, lip gloss, or wallet rather than blindly fish around with my hand.\u00a0 It’s such a pain.\u00a0 But no, I will absolutely not stop using it.\u00a0 It is much more stylish than carrying my lunch in a tied up Loeb bag like I did for all the years I worked at my last place of employment.\u00a0 And we all know style wins out – ask any women who’s had to break in a new pair of shoes or squeeze herself into a pair of jeans right out of the dryer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I can’t deny missing a purse.\u00a0 My diaper bag is extremely awesome, in my opinion, but it’s not a purse.\u00a0 It’s bigger.\u00a0 Way bigger.\u00a0 Diaper bags, by design, carry mountains of supplies, snacks and toys, and I’ ve only owned purses that I could barely fit a wallet and some gum into.\u00a0 I liked them […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[28,50],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/forgetful.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/943"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/forgetful.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/forgetful.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forgetful.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forgetful.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=943"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/forgetful.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/943\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/forgetful.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forgetful.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forgetful.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
