Packtoozi Organizational System

Lately you’ve been leaving the house with applesauce in your hair, peas on your sweater, and cash falling out of your hands.

Get a grip with Packtoozi, the new on-the-go organizational kit from two local moms who understand.

The customizable, color-coded system includes a hanging bag with pockets (for an at-home central storage spot), small zippered pouches (to individually pack snacks, diapers, clean clothes, toys, and anything else you can think of), and a large tote with roomy interior dividers (to schlep it all around).

Everything is made from durable organic cotton in cheery colors, which should brighten even the most chaotic days.

And help you keep it together.
