My Mom carries a bag with her whenever she goes around the house. The bag is on her arm when she goes room to room, just so she doesn’t have to go back to the previous room if she left one of her things.
What does she carry in her bag? Take a peek:
Her Kindle. Reading glasses. iPhone. Charger. Pens. Glue stick (for stray pages on her piano pieces and other crafty stuff). Not in the picture: A notebook.
I think it’s a good idea, especially if you live in a home with two floors. It’s a hassle having to run all the way back to your room if you left your cell phone there. It’s even more of a hassle especially if you’re a senior citizen (Exhibit A: My Mom), who may not have the spryness of a kid. So here’s a solution — the house bag! Just don’t forget to put the cell phone in the bag before leaving your room. 😀

at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

What’s that small thing next to her Kindle? I wonder where I can buy a nice yet affordable protective casing for my husband’s Kindle… We tried looking around in malls here in Davao and the salesladies are like “Huh? What Kindle?”.
Thanks.
