I am super excited because today I am taking Emma to the Circus!
Her first time going to the Circus…I am super excited, and she probably isn’t going to remember this but oh well I can still be excited right!
I remember going to the circus (remember I talked about it here) when I was little with my parents and sister. At that time the place was called “The Colosseum” and it was a ROAD TRIP to get there (at least it seemed like it)…but when we finally got there we had a great time!
So since I am all about doing everything on a budget, Im not really on buying food while we are there tonight! I have a free Chick-Fil-A coupon (perks of being a Chick-Fil-A Mom), and I will use that for my sandwich and I will get Emma something to eat! I should’ve saved my coupon for her free kids meal for tonight. The only reason I am not eating food at home is because we have a full day on the go and I wont have a chance to make it back home before we go.
The only thing I actually plan on spending money on when we get there is a small toy for Emma, which will probably cost the amount of our food, gas, and my right arm! LOL! But I have to get her a souvenir toy (I know Daddy will say otherwise), but we cant leave without a souvenir!
Besides saving money, I have to condense my bag that I will be carrying because you cant bring all your normal stuff with you. I plan on carrying my ThirtyOne Bag, because of the things I can fit in there and it not being too big of a bag that they wont allow in the arena!
Commercial Break: My sisters friend Felicia is my Thirty-One Consultant I bought this bag from her along with a cooler bag (posted below) for the family. The one above is actually a bookbag purse…its called the Vary You Backpack Purse, and I love it! Its great if you have little ones! It can be carrying 4 different ways as a regular backpack, one-shoulder backpack, crossbody or shoulder bag. It has two large compartments and a front flat pocket…believe me you can fit everything you need! It can also be monogrammed…I mean who doesn’t love monogram, I would monogram EVERYTHING if I could!
This is the Picnic Thermal Tote it can fit a gallon of Lactaid Milk and 2 Two Liters of Pop (just so you can see how roomy this bag is…Totally Worth the Buy!!!

Okay Now Back to Our Regular Program…LOL!
Now when we go into the arena I plan on carrying…
-Cup for Emma
-Some kind of Snack (just in case purposes)
-Juicebox
-Few Diapers
-Wipes
-Vaseline
-My Wallet
-Few of my Personal Items (Lip Gloss, Gum, Cell Phone…you know the usuals)
-I may sneak a bottle of water for myself
(shhh…(dont tell) ain’t nobody got time for a $4 bottle of water)
I have broken away from carrying the traditional HUGE diaper bag, but I get nervous because when going into arenas you can only carry limited things, and you cant go outside and come back in. Which in turn means I have to be very strategic in my choices! And besides carrying a bag that can fit everything, I cant bring a stroller…Booo so I have to carry something I can strap around me and move with the little one (she’s heavy…THANK GOD for my nephew going he loves holding her)!
**I received no compensation for talking about my ThirtyOne Bag, I did receive free circus tickets…and all opinions are 100% my own**
