I come from a family of criers- and I have a big family. Happy moment, sad moment, proud moment, you name it, and someone is going to cry. That means I better be prepared with Kleenex at all times!

With 6 kids to round-up and get out the door, remembering the essentials -like Kleenex- is often difficult. Especially since I frequently change my bags: little diaper bag for quick trips, big diaper bag for long days, camera bag, computer bag, purse. I used to realize too late I’d forgotten something important. My choices were either never change my bag (which isn’t going to happen for this bag loving Momma) or find a quick, easy way to move essential stuff from bag to bag. So now, I keep my ‘mom pouch’ packed to easily transfer to whatever bag I am carrying for the day.

My Mom Pouch Essentials:

  • Kleenex – for those tear jerking moments. (Get a coupon for $0.75 off any Kleenex here.)
  • chapstick
  • arnica great for my headaches or sore back, but also perfect for the kids growing pains plus their many (and frequent) bumps and bruises.
  • portable electronics charger- great for long days of errands when my phone battery gets low. But also great for charging an iPad when something goes long and the little ones get antsy.
  • baby balm- I always have some type of lotion or cream for dry skin and hands. It’s also a great placebo ‘medicine’ when a little one suddenly has an invisible boo boo.
  • powdered drink mix- sometimes I just need a little pick me up and this usually does the trick!

Thankfully, I had my Mom Pouch earlier this week when my oldest daughter turned twelve.

Twelve seems like a huge birthday. The last year before becoming a teen. I’m going to cry (again) just thinking about it! I knew I better have tissues on hand as she blew out the candles and we celebrated her big day.

What I didn’t realize was I’d need those tissues earlier in the week, before Miriam’s real birthday when we had a small dinner to celebrate with grandparents.Miriam's presents

And, as I mentioned before, in our family, one woman’s tears means ALL the women’s tears. Kleenex all around.Miriam's presents

What an emotional, yet fun moment. It’s always special to give a gift that really makes an impact. Her bracelet wasn’t just pretty, it was her family acknowledging that she is no longer a child, but now a young lady.

I still can’t believe she’s twelve!Miriam's presents

  1. That looks like one appreciative little girl . I love it when they show that much feeling, you are doing a great job mom.

  2. Those series of photos will be great mementos. I keep Kleenex tissue with me wherever I go. They come in handy on a daily basis.
