Are there things you just can’t live without?  Like, not even for a quick outing?  There are a handful of things that I just can’t leave the house without and I am sharing them with you here!  You may chuckle at one or two, but they just make my life SO much easier!

1 – My Keys

Obviously!  I couldn’t get too far without these.  Unlike my husband (who searches frantically each time to remember where he put them down last) I like to have everything organized and easy to find, including my keys.  I recently was gifted this adorable key ring and it has made my life SO much easier.  I mean, do you have those moments digging in the bottom of your bag to try to find your keys?  With this ring, they will be easy to find and to hang every time.  PLUS, It actually allows me to go purse-less for some outings which means this mama gets 2 free hands.  Mamas, you know how exciting this is when you are trying to wrangle up a pre-schooler!  When I go without a purse I pair my keyring with their large wallet so I can throw in a few cards plus the next two items on my list!

2 – My Phone

I hate to admit it but I am one of those millennial who just feels like I’m missing something without my phone.  I use the excuse of needing to contact someone in case of an emergency, but my husband still rolls his eyes at me.  It is not like I ever get a phone call, but I use my phone for so much!  My number 1 thing (besides blog photos) is for snapping photos of things I like for either home decor, gift ideas for my daughter, amazing sales, or things I love (in which I then txt the pic to my hubs for a very obvious hint for birthday gift idea haha!)

3 – Lipstick/Lipgloss

It doesn’t matter if I am all dolled up ready for date night or just running saturday morning errands I always throw on lipgloss or lipstick.  It just makes me feel more pulled together. Especially if I am rocking leggings & a mom bun.  This is my fav gloss to carry around with me and I’ve been loving this nude lip colour too!

4 – Earrings

I seriously feel naked without a pair of earrings!  If I am just running out for an errands I grab for my sparkle studs for a simple classic look, but most often I have rocking these earrings and just can’t get enough of them.  Seriously, if you are following me on Instagram I am wearing them in SO many of my photos!

5 – Snacks

Ok some of you may chuckle at this one.  I often use my daughter as the excuse (because my bag is full of apple sauce, Bear Paw cookies and fish crackers) but I like to be prepared!  There is nothing worse then running errands and getting hungry.  I have been gluten free for over a year now and it makes it even more challenging to eat while I am out.  A snack size bag of trail mix or granola bars are enough to tie me over and keep the hangry persona at bay!

I am sure there is a survey somewhere that tells me what these 5 things say about me!  I think they are practical and they definitely make my life much easier when I have them within reach!

What are the things you cannot leave the house without?
