Fortunately, right in time for Mother's Day, Joyce Brewer of "Mommy Talk Show" posted a video that shows you how she organized her car with inexpensive additions that make it easy to keep neat. It's such a good post that I have included a link below.

Watch and learn! And as Joyce says, it's time to "Primp my ride"!
