Dawn I just came from your blog and saw your contents
   This is so good timeing as my dh just took me out 2 weeks ago to buy a new purse
I went from being a change in the pocket gal to carrying a bag how did that happen ?
I actually used a man's leather wallet for several yrs just as a man would in the back pocket and change in my pocket .
Then I stepped up to a small side bag from guatemala . Then a bigger bag from guatamala the last 5 yrs . However the handle was actually rotting away I'd bought the bag 20 yrs ago in guatamala and it'd been a wall hanging until I decided I needed a bigger urse .
I had two mini photo albums in it two mini screw drivers which I always pull out by mistake instead of a pen . The looks I get when that happens
I had 3 pocket knives and my big swiss army knife as well . Hand cream , kleenex , pocket calender , pen , candied fennel seeds in a container , a really old bandaide
   Well my new bag is a small bag from guatamala again . Perfect for my wallet , passport , 1 screw driver , pen , small tinsy hand cream , kleenex & a pack of gum . Thats it .Oh no I forgot I have my rosary in there too
Trying to downsize and simplify again including purses

I am resurrecting this thread as I need a new purse and my beloved old diaper bag has been retired. So now I am trying to figure out whether to get a combination. I tend to like backpacks as I want my hands free. But I will be wearing a wrap and not sure if a backpack will fit over. I have never carried a tote type bag (though I too have been drooling over the Vera Bradleys!!)

Do you just use a large bag/tote and double it as a diaper bag?

For those of you with the Healthy Back bag from LLBean - can this function as a diaper bag too?

Thanks for any advice.

Hey, Marilyn! I replied to your question in the other thread too, but I do use a regular backpack with my moby wrap. It works great.
