When Ashley invited me to do a guest post at a {little} dash of ash, I was elated! Don't you just adore her blog? Currently she is over at my little "home",
The Short and the Sweet of It, blogging about what's hidden in her handbag. I have to admit, I was a little nervous about the topic of the post, being that my purse is usually ridden with receipts and old gum. *In fact, when I picked up my bag, I noticed a huge stain on the bottom of it. From what? I have no idea. But, onto the goodies.
1. Yup that's Sophie the French Giraffe. Or as we call her in our house: Mona. It's my daughter's favorite teething toy. And though it usually lives in her diaper bag, it somehow migrated to mom's purse. Note: this is embarrassing when you pull it out at a fancy dinner, whilst searching for your wallet.
2. My keys. Frankly, this was an unusual find, as I usually have no clue where they are.
3. Several pens, most of them out of ink. But seriously, I am always jotting things down. They are a necessity.
4. Body spray. Workout at the gym. Hectic day of holding and entertaining the baby and no time to shower before dinner? Viola!
5. A mirror. I actually don't know why this is in there. I never use it, and if I did, I probably would be horrified. See number 4!
6. My lips are always dry. I love Alba lip balm, this is passion fruit, and I just pretend I am in the Hawaiian Islands.
7. Hand sanitizer. A must. Especially when there is spit-up or mashed up peas involved.
8. An old grocery list. There is absolutely no reason why this is in there; I just always manage to have on in my purse at all times. The key is finding the perfect one.
9. My coin purse from Anthropologie. Because I love it and it makes me feel cute.
10. My cell phone. Duh. Although this also usually falls victim to the way of the keys.
11. Sunscreen. I am pale and freckly, what can I say? And even though it says, "baby" this one is indeed my own, mostly because I can't find our grownup brand. Are you noticing a trend here?
12. My wallet (which I got from Target and love).
*As it turns out, I was still ridden with receipts and old gum, I just edited them out of the post. I didn't think you needed a visual of those.
If you are curious, my purse is from Anthropologie, a gift from my sweet husband!
So there you have it darlings. That's just a little glimpse into my world and I do hope you'll visit me sometime at
The Short and the Sweet of It. Thank you so much Ashley for having me over! Xo Alexa
