Divide And Conquer

It was getting a bit crowded in my duffel bag pocket book.

I was almost always guaranteed to pull out the wrong thing.

Looking for glasses?
Would pull out lip stuff.

Need tissues?
How about a notebook.

You get the picture. It was time to divide and conquer.

But before I show you my solution ... let me share with you what was in my suitcase


1 - folding hair brush with mirror - never know when you might need to spruce up
2 - Tide to go mini - two boys - one hubby - no explanation needed
3 - my favorite hand balm - it's the balm
4 - highlighters - ie: small markers for my little artists
5 - reading glasses - I can't believe that I actually have to carry readers in my purse!!!
6 - tape measure - one never knows when they might need to size something up
7 - what was once my 'list' keeper is now my artist's pallet
8 - can you believe that I actually have something to write with?!
9 - couldn't even remember what was in this case ... a nail file/clipper kit - I have no idea where it came from
10 - something I spend way too much time with
11 - don't know how this managed to make it to February untouched - not anymore ;-)
12 - with the winter we've had I'm surprised I even had any of these left in my purse
13 - again - with the winter we've had ... Altoids and hand sanitizer - what would we do without you?
14 - necessities. nuff said.
15 - the wallet that is forever empty ;-)
16 - lip stuff (for boys and girls) and lip gloss (for mommies)

So ... without further ado - here is my bag in all it's new found glory


organized and sassy thanks to a size small organizer from a fabulous Etsy seller who was divine to work with.


Are you ready to Divide and Conquer?

We could trade purses and neither of us would know it. The only thing is -- I only have a dollar in change in my wallet.

I did that to my office last week. It was getting so messy. Papers & Christmas stuff laying all over. Maby it will stay organized for a little while.
