Thirty-One Review and Give-away

Thirty-one is a consultant based company created by and for women that sells beautiful purses, totes, bags and other organizations tools for your home.

I hadn't heard of Thirty-one before Amy, a consultant, sent me several of their products to review. I was thrilled to receive the package last week. She generously sent a Large Utility Tote, an All-In-One Organizer and two Thermal Totes. Besides being visually striking and well made, I knew immediately that they would be so useful during our family vacation.

Anticipating the cold weather in Yellowstone, I filled the Large Utility Tote with jackets for our entire family. the tote fit perfectly between the seats in the van. It kept the jackets organized and accessible. I was able to quickly grab jackets for everyone whenever we stopped along our journey.

Now that we're home, I can think of dozens of uses for the Large Utility Tote in my home. Because our house is rather small and full of people, I'm always looking for ways to be more organized. The Large Utility Totes would be perfect for under-the-bed storage. One would fit just right under the end table in the loft. They would come in handy for storage in the laundry room or the bedroom closets. They would also be great to use for toy storage in the kids' rooms.

Now that we're home from our vacation, I can't decide if I'm going to use this one to store all the hats, mittens, and scarfs that hopefully I won't need this summer or if I'll keep it handy to pack with beach towels when we head to the pool. I suppose I better order another one or two or three. And right now, for every $30 you spend at Thirty-one you can get a Large Utility Tote for just $9.

It only took me a minute to figure out how I could best use the All-In-One Organizer on our trip. Our books, scriptures and card games fit just right in the organizer and slid nicely under the seat of the van. I didn't get many opportunities to read on the trip, but the books were right there and accessible if I needed them. Because books fit so nicely, I think I might keep the All-In-One Organizer near my bed with my to-read books. The All-In-One Organizer would also work well as a diaper-changing station, or packed with treats for the game.

The Thermal totes are so cool (literally). You can carry your lunch or snacks in style. They are beautiful and yet so handy. They were very useful during our vacation when we went on small hikes around the geysers and for our picnics.

The exciting news is that Amy is offering one Thirty-one thermal tote as a give-away to one lucky reader. It will embroidered with the winner's initials.
