Organizing Thursday: Art Supplies Tote
This post may contain affiliate links and CorporetteMoms may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
My kids have their own desks stocked with art supplies, but they prefer to do art in whatever room I’m in.
This roomy art tote would let them take their art supplies wherever they like. It features a large main compartment surrounded by multiple side pockets — fill it with pads of paper, crayons, scissors, and more! Made from durable and easy-care polyester, it could also be used for gardening or knitting supplies.
This art tote is under $20 at Amazon.

I posted a few weeks ago about being a runner in my 40s. Came back to report that I have started lifting weights two days a week and well … I sort of love it! I’ve kept running and am ignoring the media craze about giving up long cardio.
Previously when I lifted weights I was doing lots of reps and it felt boring, but switching to higher weight lower reps has made it a lot more enjoyable.
It leaves me really sore though. Does that get better?
Anyway, thanks for the pep talk.
This might be too specific but – Any tips for Estes Park with three kids under 8? Youngest is 3 and too big for a hiking backpack, so we are somewhat limited. We have timed entry for Bear Lake for one day. This is our first vacation with kids that isn’t visiting family so any general advice would also be appreciated!
Just a vent that some friends, who have a 2 yr old, suggested going to a park to watch the next WC match with our 3 kids. It’s the kind of venue where you bring a picnic and camp chairs and actually watch the match on a huge screen. Last time it was PACKED. Less – the match and is at a playground kind of thing. They will just give their 2 yr old a phone and be done….but they don’t get that’s not how we parent and not how we want to hang out?
Friends are long time close to DH from childhood so we’re trying to maintain and politely be like that’s crazy and going to result in us following kids or trying to keep them chill in a huge crowd.
I’m not asking anything just like UGH. They always suggest off the wall ideas that aren’t kid friendly.
Any suggestions for a last minute trip for a family of 5 (baby, 3.5, 5.5) at end of August? We just drove 12 hr each way to Hilton Head and actually had a great time. I don’t think we’re up for driving that long again. Located in DC.
Can anyone recommend a bowl that actually suctions to the stokke tripp trapp high chair tray? My ezpz bowl and some other I think munchkin from my first kid 5 years ago aren’t sticking and I’m tired of the baby dumping stuff on the ground. These things stick on the countertop so idk why they don’t stick on the tray!
It’s finally the last day of school here. Yay for summer break!!
