Mommy Mondays: In The Bag

The very first purchase I made when pregnant was my diaper bag.  In a lot of ways, this is one of the most important purchases because until I went to work, I used the diaper bag every day.  It basically holds your entire life for the period of time you have a small child.  I stopped using a purse except on days when I'm kid-free.

Which is why it was important to me that my diaper bag could pull double duty as a purse.  I've convinced myself that no one could tell this isn't a regular purse!

My second consideration was size.  It needed to be big enough to carry my life inside (and still close)!

So what are my daily necessities?  What's in my bag?
