Style

Hi. My name is Mandi and I’m an organizing junkie. I’m also a wife, and Momma to four little girls (5, 3.5, 2 and a new baby!). I've worked at home since our oldest was a baby, and like a lot of other moms, my life is a constant balancing act of caring for my family and my home, meeting my obligations and finding time for hobbies in there somewhere. Oh, yeah, in the interest of full disclosure, I’m somewhat of a kitchen dunce and I only like to pretend that I’m crafty. Read more here!

  2. Hmmm. I would like a larger purse so I could fit my planner, but lighter so it wouldnt hurt my shoulder (if I add my planner I will never be able to carry it).

    Hmmm#2. I carry the things I use the most: wallet, pen, lotion, keys. I also carry things I need occasionally but cannot live without: medications, bandaids and feminine products. I also carry a brush and some breathmints.

    I dont have much else in my purse. I do not know why it is so heavy. I even dumped out the change to try and lighten it. Maybe I should just get one of those roller suitcases and make the big “I am so old” switch.

    LOL. Thanks for the thought starter.
