My kindle (to read if DD naps or is watching a movie on her kindle), my massage ball for sore pregnancy back, a granola bar, a water bottle, chapstick, wallet and travel documents, a light sweater. Phone and phone charger. So, not much!

For myself I usually pack my iPad, iPad charger, phone charger, a change of clothes, my glasses, a contact case with solution, snacks, an empty water bottle, over-the-counter medicines that I might want (Advil/Tylenol and Pepto/Tums), chapstick, ear buds, wallet, travel docs, and my travel neck pillow (I usually clip this to the outside of my bag).

I think that is about it. I use my Vera Bradley Weekender bag as my carryon.

@Cole: I have bad luck with airlines losing my checked luggage, so I always pack a change of clothes, extra underwear, basic toiletries (toothpaste, toothbrush, razor, deodorant, basic makeup), swimsuit and coverup, charger for tablet/phone, change of clothes for LO, and extra snacks. It sounds like a lot, but it packs up small and I always feel better safe than sorry.

My camera, planner, cell charger, headphones, lip gloss, hand sanitizer

These days, my kids each get their own little backpack with toys, activities, snacks, headphones, etc.

I try to keep my carry on tote for me only. I take: wallet, passports, phone + charger + headphones, small makeup bag (with lip gloss, travel sickness meds, gum, hair ties, little necessities), a scarf or sweater depending on the season, and then usually my iPad for my LOs to use, and book or magazine for me. I don't like to read on devices, I prefer paper.

For long haul flights we have a second weekend bag size carry on that goes in the overhead bin. I add neck pillows, AA blankets for LOs, a change of clothes for everyone, toiletries, extra snacks, camera, and maybe a second book or magazine.

I carry a small crossbody bag that I don't take off during the flight. In there, I have a pen, a folding comb, lip balm, my passport, travel documents, other ID, credit cards, cash, my phone, a backup charger, pair of earbuds, a pill case and a travel pack of wipes.

In my regular carryon, I bring a small bag for garbage, a foldable shopping bag to quickly pack up whatever might have come out during the flight that I don't want to puzzle back into my son's or husband's carryon, a ziplock bag of solid snacks, a refillable water bottle, a magazine, kindle with a few shows downloaded and wetbag with a 2 pairs of underwear, wipes and 2 burp cloths (I love these for when we go places and they're out of paper or have the air dryers!).
