Diaper bag or purse?

In march/April I will have a newborn and a 2 year old both in diapers at least for a while. My kids usually go everywhere I go. Should I continue to carry a purse and a diaper bag or is it easier to just throw my wallet, a little bag of essentials and my planner in the diaper bag? What do you ladies do?

My sons are 2 years and 3 days apart, so I have been there.... I have a wallet that I tossed in my diaper bag and I carried just the diaper bag for the first year or so. Once I felt comfortable not bringing a spare change of clothing, teethers, ect, I could go to the store and toss a pull up, diaper and wipes into my purse. When we go out for longer than an hour though, my wallet goes right back into the diaper bag.

I use a diaper bag as my purse, even when she's not with me! I'm so used to it. I just bought her a blues clues purse/backpack to use as her new diaper bag though.

I take both but it would be easier with one bag.

I only have one - a 9-month-old - and I gave up my purse the day he was born, lol. Been carrying my stuff in his diaper bag.... But come January, I'll have an 11-month-old AND a newborn, so I'll just have to decide which diaper bag to keep my stuff in, because I don't think I'll be able to get away with carrying just one while having two babies >_>

Ds is 2.5 and I have a 4 month old. I need my diaper bag, it's stacked full and I have to restock it at least once a week. I would never get away with a big purse.

I have a clutch-type purse thingy where I keep all of my stuff, and I just toss it into the diaper bag (which is really just a messenger bag) when we go out.

When bot mine were in diapers we were able to use a bigger diaper bag and fit it:)
