Laren and I had game night with the kids last night for an hour, it was actually lots of fun!! Then we had Kayla babysit while we ran to Dollar Tree and Kohls. My birthday is coming up and he is panicked that he has nothing to give me for that, yet he doesn't like to shop to find me something. We found me a cute shirt at Kohls. What I really need is a purse.
My purse.
Those 2 front pockets house some very important things, one is my cell phone and the other is my receipt pocket. I keep receipts in there for about 3 weeks at a time before I purge them.
My purse is falling apart. But it was a cheapy when we bought it a few years ago. Laren wanted me to get something nicer at the time but I liked this particular purse and looked forward to something different than what I had.
The lining is literally falling out of my purse.
I figured if it fell apart sooner than later I'd just get a new purse sooner. But I didn't realize what a pain it is to find a decent purse! I mean it has to be functional as well as look nice, be the right color and it is not supposed to serve just me but the entire family since they all expect me to house their belongings in there too!
Good purses are hard to find. My last few purses have been the Rosetti brand and I tend to prefer their purses. I see many cute purses around and I think they look great, but they are really not functional. At least they are not funtional for a Mom of 5 kids!
One of my friends has a super cute pink Kate Spade knock off that she got at a purse party when her youngest grew out of the baby stage and she no longer needed to carry a diaper bag.
I love purses/bags and could so go for a cute purse, just for special occasions. But, I need a practical purse first!!
Editing to add: We are back from Dinner with our friends. We went to Famous Daves Barbecue, it was really good. I tasted Laren's "meat selections" and I had a salad with the dressing on the side. It was really a lot of fun. We gabbed the whole time with our friends. Laren told me afterward that he had a migraine and it was all he could do to sit there.
We ran to Walmart to get some dishwasher detergent and curtain rods for some curtains we bought for our bedroom and he ended up losing his lunch so to speak in the parking lot. He is starting to have these migraines more and more. I have heard there are some good prescriptions to help with that, I need to have him go into the doctor because this is awful. We came home and he went straight to bed.

I am in desperate need of a purse as well. Famous Daves sounds yummy ( I have tried their BBQ sauce) Sorry to hear the night ended being sick. Hope Laren feels better today :)
I have a very similar purse, and I feel the same way. It has to be practical! I love all the fashionable, fabulous purses out there, but most of them won't work for me. I did just buy a new one though (gotta love 1/2 off at Kohls!) and I pulled out my black one today, as well. Time to put away the happy bright striped summer one, I suppose.
I'm sorry to hear about Laren's migraines. That's so hard to deal with. You really can't even function when your head is splitting that way. I hope he finds some treatment or meds that will help him.
