I am always fascinated by what we moms carry in our pocket books. I have seen all kinds of stuff and wonder how they all fit in. Quite likely if you need something and you ask another mom, you might be surprised they have it close at hand. So for fun, what do YOU carry in your pocket book that would have another mom give you a high five or think "Why didn't I think of that?"
Benadryl-for emergency allergic reactions
Tylenol for the oops that leaves a bloody knee or head bonk
Clippers, tweezers, plasty bands for a much needed hair out of the face fix, temp. tattoos for the crying child that just won't be redirected any other way, a couple of fork, spoon, and knife sets from McDonalds breakfast so I always have a knife or spoon for stuff.
fruit snacks or m&m's or a lolipop (for those desperate days when your toddler is driving you nuts! or for when I desperately need a sugar fix)
a matchbox car
neosporin 'on the go' spray
advil
stickers
crayons and a small coloring book
