I love having everything handy in a bigger purse, but I HATE carrying that around when shopping for an entire day or for a quick stop. I use this system now to make it so easy to grab a smaller purse. I'll also show you what's in my purse and how I organize things.
Note: This video is NOT sponsored! All things were purchased by me.

I love that wallet/purse thing you have. I need to find one. I laughed about your fan because I live in San Antonio and I have 2 of those fans. They are life savers! I need to get my mom a purse magnifier that is such a great idea too. I found a cute little contact carrying case at ULTA a few years ago....it's worth a look

I daily use a small cross over purse for everything I need. I often go to a coffee shop to journal so I have a tote bag or larger "purse" with all my notebooks, pens, and crafty needs. I can leave the tote in the car when I shop. I love how you figured out an easy way to pare down. I also love the magnifying glass! I need that! :)

Love that little pocketbook. It would be really neat if it had a crossbody strap. I do the same thing but I use a little purse with a crossbody strap. I don’t like carrying any thing on my wrist. My son in law is a drummer too for his church.. tfs

Love this and have been doing something similar for a long time. I have a sweet, feminine backpack where my sunglasses, tech bag, makeup, hairbrush, meds, etc., etc. live but I also have a small crossbody (that matches it) that I use for money, credit cards, etc. We travel a lot so I need my items in the little backpack but I can just pull out the little crossbody - grab and go!

I have a larger purse that I use every day to work and church. The design makes it easier to quickly get things out of my purse. My mother-in-law bought me a Kate Spade wallet for Christmas last year. I love it, but it doesn't hold cash & coin very well. So I bought a Kate Spade Wristlet ($20 at an outlet.....Yay!!!) It holds cash and coin together. When I run into the Dollar General or other quick trips, I will put my debit card in there and run into the store with just that. I also keep my debit card receipts in my wristlet so I can write them down in my check register later. When I go shopping for the day, I have to use a smaller "more comfortable" purse. I have one that has a single, thick handle that is so comfortable to wear on my shoulder. I use a crossover purse when I go to Walmart. I need to look for a magnifying glass for my purse! Sometimes I forget to bring my reading glasses with me. This would be great to have on hand! Thank you for sharing! Blessings to you and your family!
