Each year I make the same resolutions: to be more organized, to take care of my things and even to eat my veggies (or at least to get my kids to do so). This time, I have a secret weapon to aid with my follow-through: 20 pretty finds to inspire me to do it this year. — Steph from Modern Parents, Messy Kids

Felt Bag-in-Bag – $27
I am permanently losing my keys and telephone to the black hole that’s my purse. Used as an insert, this bag-in-bag provides a lot of compartments to your chosen bag. A fresh appearance and new color options also make it a nice little bag in its own right.
Layla Grayce
If I had a cell phone case as distinctive as this, I might never lose my telephone again. These two designs are only the tip of this iceberg, as there’s a massive selection of wallpaper designs, fonts and colours to choose from.
Society 6
The vivid colors on this cell phone case are beautiful without being too girly.

No matter how smart my phone gets, I will always have a soft spot for a cute little laptop that I can easily slide in my handbag. I like this one is indexed for preparation , contacts and note taking.

Calendars are a terrific way to add a little dose of nice art to less-than-glamorous spaces such as a messy desk or email landing strip. I like the simplicity of the one.

This is the form of hamper I would envision a hipster could have — but I really like it too.

I am not certain who would like this more as our newest bathrobe hook — my son.
