FUNDAY MONDAY: I'm Back with Thirty-One! {GIVEAWAY & DISCOUNT}

I know, I know - I've been completely MIA for, oh, a month or so now.  I have a good reason - my "real" job has been crazy busy! - but it's not a great excuse so I figure what better way to apologize than by having a fun giveaway?

I've been hearing lots of talk about Thirty-One but had never seen their products in person until my friend Brooke offered to send me some to preview.  A few days later, this terrific Organizing Utility Tote arrived at my doorstep:

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love it!  Not only is the Awesome Blossom pattern adorable but the bag itself is so useable.  It's made from double-laminated nylon and has seven exterior pockets.  What could be more perfect for a mom of twin toddlers who's constantly lugging around diapers, wipes, sippies and snack cups but refuses to carry a diaper bag anymore?  Now I don't have to worry about things spilling and have enough storage for all of the girls' crap, er, goodies.  And I look cute to boot!

Brooke also sent along two of these super cute Ruffled Cinch Sacs for Gabrielle and Alaina and let me tell you, between the sassy color and the frilly ruffles, they fell in love at first sight!

I really like how lightweight they are - I know we'll be filling them with beach toys this summer so the girls can finally lug their own.

Thirty-One has a huge line of products designed to make life easier, and going through their catalog, there was something I wanted on every page.  Like the Hang-Up Home Organizer:

This would SO help with the clutter in my kitchen!  And I totally need one of these Flat-Iron Cases before all of the trips we have scheduled this summer:

A few of these Basket Liners will make my linen closet look Martha Stewart-worthy.

And I can't imagine hitting the beach this summer without these two handy numbers - the Cinch-It-Up Thermal Tote (look at how much it holds!):

And the About Town Blanket, which opens up to 60" x 38"!

I could go on and on - oh, wait, I already have! - but you get the gist.  Just one last thing to love about Thirty-One - everything comes in a variety of fun patterns and you can have almost all of the items personalized, allowing you to create exactly what you want!

To place your order from Thirty-One, just click on the My Events tab here and you'll see one set up for readers of AFOMFT.  There's a great special for April too - if you spend $31 this month, you get 50% off any handbag!

And here's the best part!  All readers will get 10% off their orders (not including shipping and handling) through Sunday, April 8th!  You don't need a code and the 10% off won't show in your cart, but will applied when your order is processed.   What are you waiting for?  Get shopping!  

And no, I didn't forget about that giveaway I mentioned!  My friend Brooke has graciously offered to give away one of the Organizing Utility Totes she sent to me to a lucky AFOMFT reader!  The winner will even be able to pick the pattern.  To enter to win, visit the Thirty-One catalog and post a comment here telling me which of their products you like best (this is mandatory).
