I posted this before I bought it though! We've been on our baby moon and I guess this topic resurfaced while we were gone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-purse-with-your-diaper-bag-or-just-put-everything-in-the-diaper-bag#post-289231 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 08:36:08 +0000 mrsjyw 289231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a Kate Spade stevie diaper bag and plan to use that as my bag... need to find a good wallet ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-purse-with-your-diaper-bag-or-just-put-everything-in-the-diaper-bag#post-289212 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 08:28:10 +0000 Mrs. Pen 289212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: umm didn't you just buy a new coach purse?!?! ;)</p> <p>I just use the diaper bag and put my wallet, keys and phone in there... and anything else I need.

I put my chapstick, lipstick and hand sanitizer in one of the outside pockets. Works great, less to carry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-purse-with-your-diaper-bag-or-just-put-everything-in-the-diaper-bag#post-288865 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 20:03:05 +0000 twinmama 288865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My diaper bag with twins is massive. So I recently decided that it will just live in the car...or can go into family members homes. And then I have a few essentials in my purse...2 diapers, wipes, a bottle, a binky, and a washcloth. The purse is way easier to throw in the stroller or wear with the ergo, etc when I'm running errands....and ill always have the big guns in the car if I need them :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-purse-with-your-diaper-bag-or-just-put-everything-in-the-diaper-bag#post-288860 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 20:00:44 +0000 plantains 288860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now I just carry the diaper bag but when I go back to work in January I'll go back to carrying a purse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-purse-with-your-diaper-bag-or-just-put-everything-in-the-diaper-bag#post-288792 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 19:02:52 +0000 pastemoo 288792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a small clutch as my wallet now and stick a pen, my phone, my keys, and a chapstick in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-purse-with-your-diaper-bag-or-just-put-everything-in-the-diaper-bag#post-288767 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 18:51:45 +0000 matador84 288767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana oh no!

It's a lifesaver. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-purse-with-your-diaper-bag-or-just-put-everything-in-the-diaper-bag#post-248014 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 12:50:26 +0000 heartsnsunshine 248014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: Great topic I was wondering the same exact thing!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-purse-with-your-diaper-bag-or-just-put-everything-in-the-diaper-bag#post-248013 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 12:50:04 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 248013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a cute diaper bag since I knew there was no way I would carry two bags....I put everything I need in the diaper bag. Keeping track of baby and one bag is hard enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-purse-with-your-diaper-bag-or-just-put-everything-in-the-diaper-bag#post-248005 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 12:30:09 +0000 chrispygal 248005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't carry a purse anymore unless I'm going out without baby. I just put my wallet, phone, etc in the baby bag. My baby bag has straps that allow me to attach it to my stroller or a grocery cart and I have to say, this is my favorite feature. I use it all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-purse-with-your-diaper-bag-or-just-put-everything-in-the-diaper-bag#post-247999 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 12:23:10 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 247999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@c.sassy: i did this!</p> <p>I bought a cute diaper bag first,<br /> But I also went out and treated myself to a lovely leather Jessica Simpson clutch. That way, if I leave baby at grandma's..I can leave the bag and grab my clutch out of it. And I won't have to dig through to find my wallet when I'm out trying to pay for something with baby.<br /> It makes me feel like: Yes, I have a diaper bag...but I haven't lost myself...i'm still hot;)</p> <p>Here's the bag for fun</p> <p>[attach=2389/12/m88qzw.600x600.master-TIM143.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-purse-with-your-diaper-bag-or-just-put-everything-in-the-diaper-bag#post-247980 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 11:37:21 +0000 littlek 247980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Michael Kors iPhone case which also has slots for credit cards.

I do NOT carry a purse. Between her, the carseat, the diaper bag and the stroller, I've usually got enough to carry around without adding a purse too. </p> <p>I usually just throw my wallet, glasses case, phone and keys into the diaper bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-purse-with-your-diaper-bag-or-just-put-everything-in-the-diaper-bag#post-247961 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 11:09:17 +0000 yoursilverlining 247961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep extra chapstick and purse essentials in the diaper bag and just throw my phone, wallet and keys in. I have a huge bag (Coach diaper bag) but find I don't need something that large and that it's too big and heavy along with carrying baby, so most days I use a smaller diaper bag by JJ Cole. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-purse-with-your-diaper-bag-or-just-put-everything-in-the-diaper-bag#post-247949 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 11:00:20 +0000 pinkcupcake 247949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just throw my stuff into the diaper bag.
