Thirty One Gifts with Angela

Thirty – One Gifts is a company started by a women on the east coast. It has now grown to a direct sells company, like other sponsors on our blog. The company is huge on family time, serving God and making sure customers are happy! Recently, I was sent a bag, the  Organizing Utility tote. I use it for everything and have decided that I need to purchase several more! One for each car, which I have almost done, found some used ones at a garage sale, a few to hold dog items and then maybe some to hold books. The Organizing Utility tote measures approximately 10.35″ H x 15.5″ W x 6.5″D. It is made from extra tough nylon so you know it's not going to be a one season bag. Oh and lets not forget the stain resistant lining, making this bag perfect with kids, think baby shower gift, for the friend expecting! With 7 side pockets you are sure to find everything you want in the tote its own spot! The Organizing Utility tote is currently available in 12 different colors and designs, so it matches any place you could need it. 

 some ideas on what you could use the tote for

Personally I used my tote for the car, which is perfect to keep all your winter, cleaning or emergency items in one neat place. My bag has about 7 different cleaners in it, jumper cables, reflectors, blanket, towels and a first aid kit in case of emergency. I must say the 2 mesh side pockets were great for my big tub cleaners that wouldnt fit in the other standard pockets, but that was fine, because they hold air freshers, window cleaner, tine shine and a few other items. The middle compartment is where everything else is, it is huge and holds everything! I think the best think about this bag is that I dont have to search my trunk for something when I need it, its in my bag ready for me to pull it out!

31 gifts even offers personalization for most of their products, for only $7. I love this idea because their products make the perfect gifts and now you can add a little something special by having it personalized for the recipient. You can find the perfect baby shower, bridal shower gift or present for any occasion. Even if you are just looking for a way to spoil yourself.


I really want to try their new mini utility bins, for in the home and car! I think they would be perfect to hold my kcups and be a cute  trash bag in the car and best part is right now, when you spend $31, they are only $8 till the end of the month! So get those orders in!

This one is Angela's, she uses hers for laundry items! How smart is that!

I dont have any pictures from my bag because my car is in the shop for some work. I hope to have it back soon so I can post some pictures!

Mary's Homemade Sweets and Goodies Review by Ashley

Recently, I received a jar of Mary's homemade apple butter all the way from Rio Rancho, New Mexico. She had neatly tucked it into a round teddy bear tin. So upon unwrapping it, I knew that the tin would hold something homemade like Grandmother used to make. The next day, I fixed biscuits for my son and I for breakfast. We spooned some yummy apple butter atop our warm biscuits and enjoyed. My son, Christian, went crazy over it. "Mom this is delicious," he said. I liked how it had little bits of apple in the butter. I've never had apple butter like
that before. Usually, apple butter is creamy but since I'm a person that craves texture in my food, it was so nice to find some texture in my apple butter.

For your chance to win a jar of Mary's homemade apple butter be sure to follow the directions below. Be sure to check out Mary's facebook page to order your own apple butter. Good Luck! A very special thank you goes to Mary for being our sponsor, for sending me some yummy apple butter, and for the free gift she enclosed in my apple butter package. :)

My Little Cutie Pies Review by Ashley

I LOVE ETSY! I talk about it all the time and order from it often. I shop Etsy first when I'm looking for baby shower gifts and other gifts as well. Many people still have no clue what Etsy is. So right this very minute, open up another window and check out etsy.com. I promise you'll be hooked!

I have a series of Etsy reviews and mylittlecutiepies is my very first. All of the Etsy reviews that I'm doing are on products that I've recently purchased for my children or as gifts. I would like to thank, Laura, the shop owner for agreeing to the review and giveaway. Let me first start by saying that Laura is just such a sweetheart. I messaged her on Etsy 2 years
ago before I gave birth to my daughter, Presley. I was shopping for a monogrammed pink minky pillow (without a bow) and Laura had just what I needed. Her prices were very reasonable and she went out of her way to design the pillow just the way I wanted it. Laura also makes pillow case dresses, rhinestone applique shirts, personalized wall hangings, and monogrammed aprons, in addition to precious lil' pillows. You will have to excuse my picture of Presley's pillow. She threw up on it the other day so I had to wash it but as you can see by the picture, it held up well. Thanks again, Laura!

For your chance to win a hot pink/zebra print "Diva" pillow for your little Diva be sure to follow the directions below.

Body by Vi Review Part 2

As most of you know Ashley and I were both sent Visalus to try out for a week and see how we liked it and if we thought it worked. You can read Ashley's review here, and let me tell you, she LOVES it. It has helped her and she is dropping weight! Body by Vi Part 1

Since Ashley covered how it works, and all the not so fun stuff to read, I will just tell you my view on the product.

Body by Vi taste AMAZING, and its cost isnt much more then some other shakes you can buy at the store, plus with them, you have a chance to get yours for FREE! I personally have a bad sweet tooth sometimes and thats what makes my weight not so awesome at times. For me this shake is great, I can make it taste like a smoothie or I can make it make it sweet to help my cravings. Body by Vi has a great base of ideas for you to make for your shake, and there are tons of recipes that the distributors can give you that they use.

Whats the cost? Well, its about $50 a month, for one shake a day, so its about $1.70 a shake. Which when you think about it could be less then what the meal would cost you are replacing. Personally, having a shake that gives me a better balance, helps curb hunger and saves me money is awesome! I have lost about 5 pounds over my 2 weeks that I tried the shakes. While I do watch my calories and eat all day, the shake kept me from cheating on my diet and kept me satisfied. 

Do I recommend this product? Sure do! Cole even wants to try it, so i think we will be saving up to buy some soon! Do you want to try and win yourself a FREE sample?
