I always used to carry small handbags–just large enough to fit my wallet, keys, phone and maybe a compact and lipstick. About a year ago, I decided to take the mom purse plunge. It was fabulous! Suddenly, I had room for everything. I could throw in a sippy cup and a Diet Coke, or stash my camera and cord.

I was admiring a new bag large enough to hold my laptop the other day, and I realized I may have taken this just a bit too far.

In fact, while digging for my keys in front of a coworker today, I managed to stumble across a Little Mermaid stamping kit, a Cheerio and three bottles of nail polish (which were all basically the same color)…and a few other things…

That’s right–two compacts, crayons, Dora the Explorer sunglasses, a measuring tape (hi, Mom!), an empty container of mints and its stray, lint-covered belongings, perfume, a teether, lip gloss I’ve never worn, and a pair of flats.

And those are just the things I was brave enough to post.

What’s the strangest thing in your handbag?
