Hi myLotters! When going out, people usually take some items with them: keys, cell phone, purse, notepad and so on. My question is: how do you like to carry your stuff? Do you try to fit it all in your pockets like I do or perhaps you prefer to put it all inside some kind of bag? Please share your preferences! :)

I am a girl so naturally I will have a tote bag or a purse for all of my toiletries, keys, wallet, etc. I carry all kinds of stuff in my purse. I don't know what I would do if I were a guy (I would have to down-size I guess).

Well yea, girls tend have a big purse for all their belongings. I think guys carry just less things with them, cause we usually manage to put everything inside our pockets (keys, wallet, cell phone etc). Thanks for replying! ;)

I carry a purse but it's not very big. I only take my wallet, my checkbook, cellphone and keys. I sometimes carry a package of gum or something like that, but that's all I need.

Good point, you seem to be taking only the most essential things and nothing more. No extra weight. Thanks for sharing it, take care! :)

I use my hand bag to keep my car key, house keys, money and bank cards in. When I am out for a day I take my camera, memory cards and some spare batteries. I like to take my valuables in my money belt when I am traveling overseas like my money, tickets and passport. When I traveled as a younger person I took my belongings in a backpack on a trip. I had clothes in the lower part and food in the top part of my backpack. I fitted my toiletries in the middle part of my backpack. Now I travel with my 4 year old disabled son and my 2 year old daughter I take two small holdall bags and a day pack. Then I hang the two holdall bags on my son's wheelchair. These are easier to handle that a 20 kilo backpack like I did in the past.

It seems that you really know how to keep your stuff organized. Knowing that you have small kids of which one is disabled, you sure have no other choice, cause you have to take care of many things at once when traveling. Thanks for sharing your habits with us, I wish all the best to you and your small kids! :)

Actually I am a typical woman I carry all of my stuff in a very large purse. I have lots of stuff that I carry and when people pick up my purse they can't believe how heavy it is. I have to have a large purse because I am a mom and I work from home, so I have a lot of things that I need to carry in my purse. That is how I roll.

Yeah, I understand. Being a mother you sure have to have many things around at once. And perhaps a large purse is actually the best solution you could use! Thanks for answering! :)

Well for the girls I think we always carry a bag if not a big purse..and I think everything just fit in there perfectly.. I couldnt manage to go outside without my bag.. its just that I usually have to bring my cellphone,wallet and it just so hard to bring them without a bag, because I am a forgetful person and I think having a bag makes me organize..lol

Haha, I've noticed that most of the women like to keep their stuff organized in a way like you do - they keep it all inside a handbag which is always with them. I am sure it must be very easy to keep an eye on your stuff this way. Thanks for sharing! :)
