I second the first suggestion as well as offer another one. Get rid of the purse and find a place for your wallet, etc. in the diaper bag.

We keep an extra bag of diapers,wipes, diaper cream,blanket, jacket in the car. I used to even carry an extra diaper bag in the car as well. I remember lugging my diaper bag everywhere but never even needing to use anything in it except a diaper or two. Now I have chucked the diaper bag and just use a medium size purse unless I am going somewhere far.

But the important thing here is that you REMEMBERED diapers (refer to Parenting Mistake #1 in previous post). It was the BAG which you forgot – not the actual DIAPER.

I call this PROGRESS.

This is why there are glove compartments.. run out right now and stick three diapers, an extra outfit, and a slim box of travel wipes in there.. and then if you forget the bag, you have back up!
