I have seen the late-night infomercials but I never thought it was something that would make THIS big of a difference in my life. I mean seriously, it’s a bag.
But WOW, what a difference a bag can make. As I said, I never really thought about buying them. I just didn’t see what I would benefit from having them. Now, ohh my…now, I want a hundred of these babies! I would seriously use them in every room. I started in my closet:
Here is the thing about my closet. I don’t have near enough room for all the bulky stuff. Sweaters, sweatshirts, big coats, etc. So, that is what I started with. I am still learning how the best way to pack things into the space bags is, but learning I am. That is the great thing about them. If it doesn’t fit like you had hoped, you can simply open it back up and start over.
See what a difference?!
I am so thrilled! I have lots more to do but at least I have it all started.
This is my favorite product! The Space Bag Higher Capacity Storage Tote. This baby will hold LOTS of stuff. I got 2 king size comforters, 4 hooded sweatshirts, 4 sweaters and 2 jackets in mine.
I also love the travel bags. They are going to make packing for trips so much easier. And I won’t have to check a bag…I can just use a space bag and throw it all in a carry-on! And, on the way home, you can just roll the bag to squeeze out all the air making it the perfect travel accessory.
Let’s be honest, cleaning out the closet isn’t exactly an idea that thrills most people, but with weather hot as heck all across the country, many people (like me) are trying to find things to do indoors, under the air conditioning. With this in mind, Space Bag is hosting a contest that encourages people to conquer their closets and receive a chance to get organized with some great prizes.
The Clean That Closet Challenge launched through Space Bag’s online community, Space Savers, encourages anyone with a messy closet in need of a little organization to enter this makeover challenge. The winnings are big, with the first 100 applicants winning Space Bag products and one grand-prize winner receiving a private consultation with a professional organizer, a $1,000 gift card to Bed, Bath & Beyond, and enough Space Bag products to organize their entire home!
Space Bag is dedicated to helping busy moms keep their homes organized and save space, and would love to see you enter the Clean That Closet Challenge. To learn more about the challenge, visit www.spacesaverscommunity.com.
I was provided with a few Space Bags and some information via Space Bags to help facilitate this review. All opinions stated are those of my own and were in no way influenced by any outside source.

Yep, I snuck out. Late this evening I decided that I was going to sneek out and take a trip over to my cousin’s house. She took a week of vacation and wanted me to come help her get some organizing done. Now, Lori and I have been more than just cousin’s for many years, we have also been great friends. So, tonight we are sitting around, after an evening of working on part of her house, hanging out, swimming and smelling someone down the street smoking something like an arturo fuente cigar. How I think I know what they smell like I have no idea, but we do smell cigars…and it brings back memories of nights long ago when we thought we wanted to be cool and smoke a cigar like the guys. We learned really quick it wasn’t for us. Really, really quick.

Thanks to my buddy Tom Murrell for the post.
Travelling involves more than just getting your airplane reservations and a taxi to the airport. If you will be leaving your home for an extended period of time, you will need to make arrangements to keep your home and your household goods protected from theft, fire and flood. Your first steps should be to pull out all appliances from connections with any electrical outlets. You should have your outdoor automatic sensor controlled lights checked to insure that they will work while you are gone. And you should set your security alarm and test it before leaving the house. If you don’t have one and you live in Arizona like me, you should look for the best burglar alarm equipment in Arizona. A home security system can be purchased at a monthly fee from home security specialists or you can find an inexpensive alarm system, follow installation instructions on the package and avoid monthly fees. Protecting your home while you are travelling is important. In case of flooding or fire, you can travel quietly knowing that severe damage to your home will be reported to police and fire departments by your security system as well as attacks by burglars to your premises.

When traveling I have found that just being at the airport is an experience all it’s own. The sights, the sounds and the hassles are like none that you will experience any where else in the world. You get to take your shoes off and run around barefoot…where MILLIONS of others have done the same. Can you just imagine what kind of germs and diseases you are stepping on? Yeah, comforting thought.
Then there are the people. They come from all walks of life. Every nationality, gender, social class and preference that you can imagine is represented at the airport. They all dress differently, act differently and react differently to all of the situations that present themselves at the airport.
Then there are the languages that people speak. One poor lady left her bag sitting in her chair while she went to the restroom…well folks, that is a HUGE no-no in today’s time. To make matters worse she didn’t speak English and it took forever for the gate attendants to figure out what language she did speak much less find someone to interpret. Then a lady got off the plane at the gate where I was to board, she didn’t speak English, couldn’t find her boarding pass and everyone was in an uproar as to what to do about her. That was the only time that I saw one of the Gate Attendants get ugly…and it was just one in particular. I felt so bad for the little lady. She was confused and scared and no one could understand her and then a gate attendant starts yelling at her and shoving papers in her face like that is going to help the situation. Maybe they need a better document management system that tracks people that speak a different language so that they know where they are going, where they came from, etc.
I don’t think I could work at the airport. They have to repeat themselves hundreds of times a day. Over and over and over again. They have to put up with a lot of crap from irate passengers that are irate mostly because of their own doing. Most of the employees in the airport do a wonderful job, maintaining their composure, smiling, and being all around pleasant. There are those that are grumpy and short with the travelers. And then there are those that make you feel like you are family and go out of their way to do whatever they can to help make your travel experience nothing but pleasant.
As my flight was called to start boarding, the gate attendant that I always saw go out of her way to help everyone looked at my seating assignment and decided that she was going to help me out by moving me 20 rows closer to the front of the plane. I LOVE that gate attendant for doing that for me. Cause let me tell ya, if she hadn’t of done that, I would have been in the back of the plane in the middle of a large group of teenagers suffering through the whole flight.
Approaching New York. Can you spot the Statue of Liberty? It was really foggy, or smoggy that day so that picture isn’t very clear but you should be able to see it. And that was the roughest landing I have ever experienced. From the sounds inside the plane you would have thought you were on a roller coaster. Yes, it was seriously that bad. I think it got lots of people concerned enough to bow their heads.
Once I was finally on solid ground and had made my way through the airport to baggage claim, I saw this guy:
This just made my day. And then when he grabbed my bag and opened every door, I was in love. I know that is part of his job, but it means something to me. And I bet it makes his Momma proud to know that he treats ladies with respect and chivalry.
