The Cool and "Casual Cargo" Purse

This is one of my favorites of the new purses!!  This is also coined as the new diaper bag!  I love it because it doesn’t look like a typical diaper bag and is versatile with the ends that can unsnap to allow for a little bit more room.  I LOVE the print of the one in this picture…Lotsa Dots….It would look so cute with a matching Timeless Wallet and Pinch Top Coin purse!!!  LOVE IT!!! 

I did end up taking this purse or bag when we had to take Olivia for a scope procedure a few weeks ago.  I couldn’t believe how much stuff fit inside of it!  I absolutely loved the stretch pockets on the inside!  I could put her sippy cups inside and not worry about them falling over and leaking all over!!  The zipper pocket was nice for paperwork etc. too!  I used the outside snap pockets to put the tape and other supplies they gave us for the probe that she had to wear for 24 hours.  And there was still room for her dolly! I mean we have to know what it is important here!!  Haha! 

I may have to start switching between this and my Cindy Tote now!!  I can't decide which one I like more!!

All in all I would say this is a very awesome purse if you like large purses or a very stylish diaper bag! If you have this purse/bag, please let me know how you use it!! J

The not so Mini-Organizer!

This little item is one of the handiest totes we have in my opinion!!  I have used this one thing for several occasions and will probably find many more uses for it!!  I started using it to carry my pens and door prize paper in for the home parties I did.  The pens stayed in it very well and it stood up straight.  Then I used it in my home office to keep all of my little stuff together like paper clips, binder clips, product cards, and other small items I didn’t want to lose but needed to keep within reach.  Once I saw that the print I had it in was going to be retired at the end of January, I decided to keep it…I was sure I would find a use for it in our house!  And did I ever!!  One night while we were giving the kids a bath, Alan said to me, we really need something to put all of their bath stuff in so it doesn’t get scattered everywhere.  After thinking about it for a minute, you could almost see the light bulb come on over my head! Lol  I ran into my office, grabbed the mini-organizer and brought it back to the bathroom.  It had enough room in the middle to hold all of the big canisters of foam, bubble bath, etc.  But it had the little pockets around the outside to hold all the little stuff like the bath time crayons, markers, paint, etc.  It was a perfect fit!  And that pattern just happened to match my bathroom!!  And the cool thing about it was that it didn’t take up a whole lot of room on the small counter that we have!  It might be called the Mini-Organizer but it’s a BIG organization help for me!  It worked out great!!  I love this little tote and can’t wait to get it in one of the new Spring prints!!

Loving the new Essential Crossbody!

My very best friend, Jessica and I went out for a Mommy’s day out and we had a blast!!  Before we left, I had to show her one of our newest Thirty-One Spring products!!  The Essentials Crossbody!!  I told her that I carry way too much stuff for me to use it but she said it looked perfect for her so I asked her if she would mind taking it for a trial run for me!!  I was so surprised at how awesome this little wallet/purse is!!  We first made a quick trip to look for party supplies for my twins 2^nd birthday.  We had a blast trying on the funny looking glasses of course!!  We then went to the mall for pedicures and manicures!!  This is where I was super impressed with this product!!  The entire time, she didn’t have to worry about where to put her purse.  Her necessities were always with her.  Her iPhone, cards, money, change, and all that she needed were right there and fit perfectly in the Essentials Crossbody! When she had to go from one nail station to the next, the people working there didn’t even have to worry about carrying her purse for her!! Her hands were free, she didn’t have to mess up her nails and her essentials were always with her!!  And when we went to the shoe store, which is our favorite thing to do, she didn’t have to worry about putting her purse down!  It was just so convenient!!  After yesterday, I may have to change my mind about this purse!!
