Welcome to this week's issue -- Organized Momma! And you thought your life was chaotic before you started having kids! Whether you are a stay at home mom or off bringing home the bacon and changing diapers too, you will undoubtedly find something here to help you stay organized.

I had the distinct pleasure of speaking with Nina Restieri today, mom of four, former marketing exec, and now owner of momAgenda. At home with children ages 8, 6, 4 and 1, Nina wished that there was a planner for moms something like those for brides but one that was for everyday... not just one day! After a year of research, momAgenda was launched. As you will see from her site, at www.momagenda.com, there are areas in each of her planners for the day, week and month for up to four children. Busy moms will especially appreciate the Desktop Day Planner, covered in a wonderful stain-resistant material, available in luscious color choices. We also love the new Kitchen Folio, Mini Daily and leather Executive Edition. Look out for a limited offer of free shipping on orders of $75 or more too!

Papers, papers everywhere! You've got paperwork from your OB/GYN, your birthing instructor, your doula and there's more to come when you've returned home from the hospital with baby. What is a new mommy to do??? Get yourself a Baby Briefcase from www.babybriefcase.com. This sectioned organizer with already labeled tabs and blanks for your customizing gives you plenty of room to store ALL of baby's important documents and paperwork. It fits in most standard size filing cabinets and is slim enough to be tucked away just about anywhere else without looking obtrusive. We'll bet you were glad you got one!

For all you hard working mommas who are ever so stylishly juggling a career and a family... have we found a fab site for you! www.mommytrackd.com. Touted by fan mail as the site that "Thank Goodness. Someone Finally Gets It!", you can read up in such areas as Tales from the Mommy Track or Three Martini Complaint Department aside from getting tips like how to organize your closet for your fall wardrobe. The site is fresh, intellectual, funny and fun. We are proud to be including mommytrack'd in our ABC Directory under W for Working Moms and X for Xtra! Xtra! Read All About It -- two areas that we are now developing.

Whether you are expecting or already have your new arrival at home, The Get Organized Guide for New Moms by Stacey Crew from www.amazon.com is a great read. Get tips on how to pick a pediatrician, what to pack for the hospital and how to organize your home once the baby is in residence. We'll bet you'll find some helpful advice!

We hope you've enjoyed this issue and look forward to bringing you next week's issue -- the Fall Maternity Issue. Have a great week everyone! Now go get organized!
