Thirty-one Gifts Utility Tote Giveaway!

Did you notice my diaper bag that Katelyn is pulling snacks out of in this post?  Did you wonder how you can get a super awesome multi-purpose tote just like it?  Well, you're in luck!  (I call it multi-purpose because it usually serves as my diaper bag, purse, endless carrier of snacks, fast-food restaurant cup holder, and more!)  Anyway, my friend Janice is a director of this great little company that sells awesome totes, handbags, kids products, and more.  And Janice is offering my readers a chance to win a Utility Tote in their choice of pattern for free!


Thirty-One Gifts has a full line of customizable, practical, and affordable items that I know you'll just love to own (and give too!)  You can view any of the current catalogs by clicking right here.  Janice is an awesome lady, fellow mom of 3, and I know will provide each and every one of you with stellar customer service.  So hop on over to her website, order me some fun new storage items, and make a new friend too!

Or maybe you'll wait to order me a gift until after the giveaway to find out if you've won before placing your order... That's fine too.  I can wait.  Here's what you need to do to enter:  Leave a comment on this post telling me how you'd use your Utility Tote if you win.

10 additional entries can be earned by doing some or all of the following: (leave an additional comment for each entry.)

    This would definitely come in handy - I'm always carting around some junk or other. I'd primarily use it for carrying all the toys and books my kids want to bring everywhere.
