Diaper Bag

We just had a grandson! Baby Finn Jacob was born on June 14th and we were able to go spend a week in Ohio to cuddle him and introduce ourselves. He is a beautiful baby and I'm allowed to brag because I'm the Grammy. All the stuff a baby needs is incredible. I had forgotten what all is involved to take a baby or toddler out of the house. When you leave the house, you have to have diapers, wipes, change of clothes, blanket, binkie, toys, bottles etc. 

I have teased Bobby for awhile that I was going to start packing him a small "diaper" bag for his shows. Usually he grabs his guitar and throws his harmonica and holder in my purse. Along with picks or whatever else he needs to take with him. My Coach purse is definitely not a fashion statement, it's a carry all for Bobby Ray gigs. There's also the matter of advil, allergy pills, bandaids, tums, gum, kleenex....you never know what you might need at a 3 hour gig. 

Some musicians are not the most organized or make detailed plans. At least my musician isn't.  They need a lot of "stuff" for a show. Cords, microphones, picks, stands, tambourine, business cards and on and on. A lot of times, my purse ends up being the junk draw for music "stuff." 
I'm gonna take a clue from my grandson's diaper bag and make my life and my purse a little lighter!
