Happy Independence Day, America!

As some of you go off to celebrate our country today, I ask that you be mindful of a few things:

Thank a soldier or their spouse.  Better yet, thank their children.  They do so much for our country; they sacrifice more than you could imagine.

Remember that today is about so much more than fireworks and hot dogs.

Enjoy yourselves safely, and have a great time!


And from Thirty-One gifts...


I wish you and your fabulous Thirty-One products a fun and Thirty-One-Derful Fourth!

Back to school? Yes, ma'am!

I know, I know: It's July!  It's not even close to time to go back to school.  Well, my kids go back on August 19th, so it's something that's on my mind.  And I'm so excited about what they're going to be using for their books and lunches...you guessed it!  Thirty-One.  Check out what we're working with:

For my oldest, Kaylie:


The Cinch Sac is good for light days, but I wouldn't use it as their sole back pack.  The Thermal Tote is a great lunch box; it holds all you could need to send to school with your child and keeps it cool or warm all day long.  The pencil bag is not a Thirty-One product; but you can find it at any local store.




This is a great look for a teenager/pre-teen.  Kaylie carried this Inside Out bag to school a few days at the end of the year, and it held all her books and binders.  It's just not her favorite pattern (She prefers Black Floral Brushstrokes or Pink Pop Medallion!) so she asked if she could have her other bags back!


This will be Megan's back to school look!  The Cinch Sac will be good for her; she's still in lower elementary school.  It will hold her books, her sweater, and her Thermal Tote.  The Thermal Tote will be perfect for lunch, and then she's got her little Icon Coin Purse in Turtle for extra milk money.  I love this pattern!


This is *MY* back to school look!  I always have Wyatt with me, and blue is a fantastic color for a boy.  Who cares about the flowers? :)  

TONS of great looks!  I love Thirty-One!  I hope I gave you some ideas of what you might consider purchasing...
