I was very excited when I opened my mailbox yesterday afternoon. Inside was my Bag of Talent Swap package from my partner:

I’m afraid the photo doesn’t do the bag justice – it’s absolutely gorgeous in person! My partner had adapted a pattern so that it has plenty of pockets for storage (here’s a shot of the inside of the bag when it’s open) and also included a matching covered notebook (with interior pockets) and cute s’more material. I love it! I think I’m going to get it ready for some outings this week with the kids – since Taylor is off almost all this week, I’m thinking we need to get out of the house and do some fun activities!
