Hi, Julie! This is such a terrrrrrific 'site! I've downloaded many of your ideas and have put some into practice already (mostly in the kitchen).
Thank you for reminding me about the Healthy Back Bag. I saw this in the Norm Thompson catalog TWO YEARS AGO and filed it away in my "maybe I'll get this sometime" file. After you mentioned it here, and after my latest department-store bag ($$$) decided it didn't need its lining anymore, I decided to take the plunge on this bag. I'm a busy wife and mother who volunteers with church and school, and I also substitute-teach in my kids' school, so I have to be able to grab my gear and get out that door! I haven't received the bag yet, but I think it will solve this problem I've had, too, with achieving an organized purse.
Keep the good stuff coming! Thanks again for this
'site!

: Aloha Marcy!
: Hmmmmm, I know *exactly* what you mean!
: To solve this dilemma, I can recommend 2 products off the top of my head:
: 1) check the "Orders to Go" section on the T.O.C. page & click on "Organizing Tools" you will see the Red Dot/Folio -- this may be one sure cure for the papers you have to carry in an organized fashion.
: 2) as far as a "specific" handbag -- I am very partial to the "Healthy Back Bag." There are several "replicas" out there, yet I would recommend purchasing this product through Norm Thompson. (800) 547-1160 -- The bag comes in leather or a durable denier nylon. It also comes in 3 sizes to suit the most versatile needs! I can vouch for the bag, quality, & customer service of Norm Thompson -- yet I wouldn't venture to remark on the quality of the "replicas" :)
: I've had my handbag for 4+ years & love it! It's loaded w/ample space & compartments to keep you organized. It's also large enough to put an 8x10 time management system inside!
: Hope this helps!
: Much Aloha,
