Before we moved last summer, our office was in the finished basement. Which also served as our family room and play area for our tribe.
Now, I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that having a large indoor space for children to play is a blessing. But (you knew that was coming, didn’t you?), there was no door to separate the office from the delightful sounds of children at play (read NOISE). So, I often found myself needing to retreat to a quiet place to grade papers and do other desk related tasks.
And that’s when this lovely number from Thirty-One made it’s debut!
To create your own mobile office you’ll need the following:
- Thirty-One organizing utility tote
- Open top file which I purchased from the Container Store but I’ve also seen them at office supply stores like Staples
- Your stuff (pens, pencils, calculator, files, notebooks, etc.)
The dimensions of the tote are 10.25″(H) x 15.5″ (W) x 6.5″ (D)
5 Exterior pockets, 2 mesh side pockets and a zip-top closure.
What’s that? You’d love to have a bag like this to solve your organization woe’s! Well friends, one reader will have a chance to do just that!
Here’s the skinny on the contest:

Hurray!! I’m so glad 🙂
Tiffany! Love the new blog! This is such a great organizing idea! I love it’s simplicty!
I’d love to enter the contest, Tiffany! Love your new blog! Thank you for sharing all your tips and tricks! It would be great to see a post about how you do discipline and child traning. Your children are so well-behaved, polite and quiet.
Hi Carrie! You do know that my children are not quiet all the time, right?! (wink). A post on child training is a great idea. I would probably start with how to discipline ourselves as parents first!
Love the blog! Hope you are doing well.
Thank you Irene! We are doing well, the children have grown up quite a bit since you saw them last. If you visit the blog again be sure to check out the My Tribe page under the Start here tab to see their pictures 🙂
Great advice! I love this idea for when we are on the run to our various extra-curricular activities.
Thanks Autumn! It is definitely a versatile bag, we have one that we use as our in house diaper bag. I put all the necessary changing supplies (cloth diapers, wipes, lotion, etc) in it that way we have everything we need in one place.
I really enjoy your Motherhood Musings and the organization tips have been very nice, as well. At least you are planting ideas in my head. 🙂

I’m glad you’ve enjoyed those posts Elizabeth. It’s funny because as I looked at my paper for blog topics I realized I have quite a few organization ideas to share. So be prepared for more idea planting! 🙂
I cant wait! 🙂 Any tips can help!

That is a neat idea! It is good if your a mom on the go, especially. I have one friend who homeschools in her car. She cleans houses and her daughter does school as they go from place to place. I am constantly working on organization and I appreciate your ideas!
