I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Influence-Central for Jif To Go® Dippers. I received a sample to facilitate my review and a thank you item for participating.
Being a busy mom to four children, I am always on the go, it’s never ending. Even on the days I think I’ll be able to stay home and relax, I’m running somewhere for someone, or something crazy. Rather than getting upset, I have learned there are things every busy mom should have in her handbag to be prepared.
Since I still have little ones who are not in school I have to be prepared, and forget thinking about everything I need before I leave, because it never works. If I try to remember everything I need before leaving the house, it never fails I forget my child, lol. Not really, but I forget all sorts of things. After years and years of toting around children there are certain things I keep in my handbag to make those get up and go trips to wherever less stressful.
10 Things Every Busy Mom Should Have In Her Handbag
Here are a few things every busy mom should keep in her handbag.
- Lotion – This is for me, because I must have lotion to put on my hands after I wash them. Plus, it comes in handy more often than not.
- Body spray – Again for mom, because stuff happens – especially when you hang with 3 year olds all day.
- Toys – Hey, don’t be dogging on my toys. I like to pull the car over from time to time and play dolls. Not really, the kids sure do appreciate the fact they can get toys of moms handbag. Wait, it’s not really my handbag, it’s theirs, because it carries all their belongings. Oh, well another part of being mom, you have nothing private, EVER again. I promise, it’s worth it.
- Sunscreen – The last thing I want are sunburned arms. Okay, busted yes I don’t want sunburned children either, and we tend to stop at the part on a moments notice. Better to have it, and not need it than to have a sunburned kid I always say.
- Hand sanitizer – Humm, because my children cannot stop touching EVERYTHING! I need this all the time!
- Antibacterial Wipes – Yes, I do need these too! Don’t worry I also have a stash of baby wipes in every car we own, lol.
- Stain stick – I don’t really think I need to explain this one..
- First Aid Kit – Okay, so maybe not the kit, but basics because it never fails the second I don’t have a band-aid in my handbag, BAM I need one. They make small travel sized first aid kits, which fit great in my bag.
- Snacks – I don’t care if the kids has lunch right when we left the house, they’re going to want something to eat while we are in the most inconvenient places. Rather than stopping for something horrible for them, I keep things in my purse. If I have time I’ll cut up an apple, peel an orange, or toss grapes in baggies. However, I don’t always have time for that, and lucky for me not only my kids, but my husband also loves the new Jif To Go® Dippers! I do admit they’re pretty yummy, but even better they made having an easy snack for my on the go lifestyle easier than ever. Perfect for a busy mom, and they fit perfectly in my handbag!
I know I’m not the only mom who’s always running, especially now that schools started back up. We have soccer, gymnastics, dance, football, girl scouts, and whatever else the kids can manage to sign up for. I have to pick up one of my children from school and head straight for practice, which means I have to take her after school snack with me, or she will starve to death lol. No, she really is hungry, and going from school to practice she needs something in her tummy, and Jif To Go® Dippers have been an easy grab and go, yet tasty option for us.

I’m not a huge fan of the kids eating in my car, because let’s face it they are messy. Another reason I like Jif To Go® Dippers is because they are not messy, too big to carry in my handbag, and the kids love them.
