Thermal Zipper Pouch

I successfully pack the kids lunches each day and am loving my thermals i bought at the beginning of the year. They are working great! But now i am coming up against another problem. SNACK TIME! I have decided i am going to just buckle down and buy the Mini Thermal Zipper pouches for the four kids. I need to keep their snacks cold. Healthy snacks like fruit, veggies, cheese and milk need to stay cold. The paper sack is going to have to go.

My Mother - In -Law let me borrow this one for a night to take pictures of. It can fit two or three things and is small and compact.


This morning, taking their paper sacks out of the refrigerator , i new that by 9:00 a.m. their food and drinks would be warm.


So here it goes. Another Thirty-One item for another problem. It amazes me how they are constantly bringing items to ladies that help meet the need. Give it a try girls. If you never have, go for it! You will not regret it. Look for the need then fill it with a Thirty-One Tote.

The new Medium tote!

I hope you can all see how the tote on top is smaller then the one on bottom.


These wonderful totes seem to be the perfect size for those who like the idea of having the Large Utility Tote ( bottom one) but feel that is a little too big. The smaller style is called the Medium utility Tote. I can not wait to buy one. Keep an eye out for their special appearance.




I think Thirty-One had a fantastic idea by making these. The list of uses could go on and on but here are a few idea for those who have never had a bag like this:

- Christmas presents
- Car bag
- Games
- Party supplies
- Picnic carry bag
- Over night bag ( put your small carry-ons and misc. items in this to carry out of the car when you arrive at your destination)
- Stuffed animal bag
- Misc. toys
- Blankets
And so, so much more!

Purple, Brown, & Corduroy!

So Fall is here and I get the itch to turn my house from Spring/Summer to Fall/Winter. The corduroy is so Fall!



My husband brought the box inside and I jumped out of the kitchen with a hurray!


My Zipper Pouch was bought for $7.50 because I hosted a party and it was 1/2 OFF.....


And the Timeless Wallet was Free by using my Hostess Credit. Last year I received the black in an Add On Kit. Even though I always wear brown I used it anyway but it looked really funny. This is my FAVORITE wallet of all time. It may not look like it but I carry three checkbooks around in this. On the left I put all my receipts. They stay flat and neat.


On the outside I keep my business cards.


My Zipper Pouch has all the little stuff that falls in the bottom of my purse. "Neat & Tidy" is my motto!

Remembering 'FLORAL FANFAIR'

Two years ago Thirty-One came out with this beautiful pattern called 'Floral Fanfair'. It was love at first sight for me. I had just become a consultant so I used my earnings to buy a collection of these items.


There in the photo is my collection. I have a few other things but these are the main ones.


This Hanging Bag was a Hostess item a few years ago. I earned $50.00 extra one month so I spent it on one when I had the chance. I took it to New Orleans with me just last week. Once again Thirty-One products proved their worth. It was so simple and easy. I brought the hostess cosmetic bag and a Weekender Tote. Our trunk even looked beautiful!

Beautiful things make me very happy inside. God made the first flower, the first color, the first soft touch. Call me crazy, but i always think of God when I look at my 'Floral Fanfair' bags.

Mailing Catalogs

I have been trying to figure out the best way to mail catalogs. I had the idea to get a paper towel tube and put the catalog in this. I wrapped the tube up in brown paper, slapped the address on and now i just have to see how much it will cost to mail.

Wrapping for the New Catalogs

I was so excited when I heard the UPS man drive into our rocky drive way with, what I was hoping my Fall catalogs. I yelled at the kids to hurry and see if it was who I was hoping. James, my five year old, tumbled into the house with my box.

I had already come up with an idea on how to give them to my customers. I rolled them up with pretty tissue paper and tied the ends off with ribbon. How fun! Today, at camp, is the first day I will hand out a catalog.




I filled a Thirty-One magazine basket with all the rolls of catalogs. I love pretty things. Don't you?

A Happy Hostess

My sister is a traveler that I admire. If it were me, I would be a hermit if I had eight kids and one on the way, but she gets out and about with everybody.
Here they are!


With this many people, getting a lot of stuff thrown everywhere is a part of the traveling adventure. As a Hostess, my sister bought the XXL Utility Tote Set after one of her parties and now she is using it in her 15 passenger van for stuff that they always need but never a good place to put.


She has it placed in between the two front seats. The first is for snacks, the middle for books, and the last.....well.....I forgot what she said. Well anyway, something important is in there.



As we were talking about this her son (who I think is 12 years old) piped in and described to us in detail how great the Market Thermal Tote is and how much less space it took up their old traditional cooler and how he thought it was soooo much better. This compliment came from an unlikely person don't you think?

Even your children will benefit from the organization you can work into your home and life. Mom and Dad are less uptight and stressed. Everyone feels it.....trust me.
