What is a Mom Purse

When you had your first kid, you needed a diaper bag, that big (and sometimes) ugly bag where you put all the things that you deem necessary for your baby. As your baby grows and becomes a toddler the diaper bag is no longer needed, but still, you need a place to stuff "all the things" and a cute normal size bag isn't going to cut it. What to do? Well, you need to get a mom purse.

The problem is that many mom purses are not mom-friendly. You still have a lot of things to carry on your bag and most mom purses are so gorgeous on the outside (all leathery with very cool designs) but they're not functional, they don't have pockets or divisions so you could have some organization on the inside. It only stresses you out, because when you need to find something it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

So if you're looking for a mom purse, keep this in mind:

  • Don't get a huge purse (you still have a kid to carry), but also don't get a tiny one. Have in mind all the "essentials" you need to carry (wipes, the occasional diaper, snacks) and get one according to that.
 
  • Consider color too, white or light color ones are not recommended because no matter what you do, your purse will get dirty.
 
  • Usually, your hands are full, so your mom purse has to have long straps so you can wear it over your shoulder or across your body.
 
  • "All the things" you're going to carry will definitely weigh a lot, so you don't need to add weight with a heavyweight mom purse.

Now that you know what a mom purse is and what to look for when you get one, we'd like to give you some options. Take a look.

What are the essentials inside a Mom Purse?

Now that you have made your choice of mom purse, it's time to talk about what are you going to carry inside it.
Every mom knows that her purse is not really exclusively for her things, especially if you have kids. If you get inside a mom purse you'll find that it's home to all kinds of weird and sometimes gross things (like petrified food snacks?)

But apart from that, there are some essentials that you need to carry inside your purse in case of any "emergencies".

1. First Aid Kit

This is a must for every mom. You can buy one from the store or you can make it. You'll need at least 4 band-aids, 2 alcohol wipes, antibiotic ointment, a pain reliever, tweezers and Benadryl. 

2. You need cash

We know, now you can pay almost anything with plastic, but there are still places where you need cash (vending machines, farmer markets, tolls roads), so always carry some.

3. Food, well snacks

If you don't want a hungry and cranky kid when you're stuck in traffic or someplace else, you need to always carry some kind of snack, it'll keep the peace.

4. Some cleaning supplies, like wipes and hand sanitizer

Kids get dirty, so be prepared with some individual wipes and some hand sanitizer because sometimes while they're having fun they touch some very gross things (like bugs).

5. Your best friend aka your smart phone

With your smartphone in tow, you can call in case of an emergency, you can illuminate a path if the need arises, it can help you with navigation in case you get lost and it can help to keep your kids entertained. Don't leave home without it! Of course, do bring along a lightweight portable charger to withstand the test of time! 

Conclusion

A mom purse doesn't have to be that ugly and huge bag that you have to carry around while you carry your toddler. A mom purse can be a very fashionable and stylish accessory that you'll want to flaunt around. Take your pick today!
