I cleaned out my purse last week so it was just essentials. I removed trash, five Dum Dums lollipops, and EIGHT writing utensils. One weekend later, this is what it contains:

1 x set of keys

1 x wallet

1 x kindergarten “walk-a-thon” paperwork packet

1 x McDonald’s receipt

1 x children’s nail clipper

1 x Blow Pop

1 x set of headphones

1 x fine point permanent marker

1 x partially eaten beef stick

1 x Matchbox car

1 x travel sunscreen – SPF 100

2 x grocery lists

2 x sunglasses

3 x tissues

3 x acorns

4 x chapsticks or lip glosses

4 x face masks (2 for kids, 2 for adults)

And $.25.

So essentially as long as I’m not in a position where I have 8 documents that must be signed simultaneously, I feel pretty well equipped to take on the world.
