What's in My Day Bag?

Hello, Lovelies

Since my niece was born in April(crazy that I didn't post about any of it), I have felt the constant desire to see her and my sister. I love that little girl so, so much and my sister, too. Family is really important to me even when we aren't always getting along. Anyways, I want to visit and help my sister with the baby because I know she needs a break sometimes. Not to mention that she is still going through a lot. With that said, I have made the decision to make it a weekly thing to visit for the day on Thursdays. I have done this twice so far and it is really good quality time that we get to spend together. Talking, hanging out, taking photos of the baby, catching up. It is really a great time I spend with my sister. I hope that even as we go our more separate ways that may or may not include moving out of stat that we will continue what we have started, making time each Thursday for a phone call or Skype when we can't be face to face.

So, getting to what the title of this post implies, here is a list of the essentials I take with me when I go to my sister's for the day.

1. Canon Rebel EOS T3 -I must take my camera pretty much everywhere. Especially with me to my sister's. Who knows when I might have the most perfect photo opportunity of my sister or niece? 
2. HP Laptop -My laptop is always taken with me because if I have any down time, I can edit a photo or two, make a collage, or organize photos on my computer. I have Photoshop CC on my laptop because I am starting my own photography business(different post), and it is essential for any kind of editing. Plus, I have been doing a lot of different photo related things for my sister lately, so it is just good to have my laptop...Just in case. 
3. Book I am Currently Reading -Also in case of any down time I may have, I like to have a book handy. I am almost finished rereading To Kill a Mockingbird, and I'm not sure what I will be reading next. What ever it is, it will be in my bag.
4. My Clutch -Instead of carrying it separately than my bag, I just toss it in for safe keeping. And and extra hand. 
5. Snacks -Instead of eating all my sister's food, I prefer to bring a couple snacks with me. This can be anything from an apple to chocolate covered raisins to granola bars, etc. I also make sure to eat breakfast before hand and have coffee for the super early mornings(I ride with my dad to work at 4 in the morning. Crazy!).

That's about it. There may be other little random things certain days, but that is the gist of it. Thanks for reading, and I hope to have more time to blog in the future. I have quite a lot of ideas and things I want and need to write about. Please, stick with me.
