Thirty-One Consultant

Good Afternoon Family and Friends!

Organized and Stylish....That's why Thirty-One is for me.... and should be for you too!

I wanted to take a minute to tell you that I have recently become an Independent Consultant for Thirty-One Gifts. As a busy Mom (going from school to errands to softball practice and everywhere in between) and Business owner (planning weddings and making invitations), I pride myself on being organized. Not just organized, but organized with style! From Thirty-One's signature purses and totes to storage solutions that help organize your life; there is something to fit every personality and situation. Everything can be personalized! Let's be honest, I love having "C"s and my kids names on things!!

I have been drawn to Thirty-One not only because of the fabulous products, but because they are a Christian based company.The name Thirty-One comes from the verses of Proverbs 31. These words may be thousands of years old, but today's modern woman can relate to them. The Proverbs 31 woman is dearly loved and respected by her family, yet she is an individual in her own right. She manages the home and property with kindness and integrity. Her savvy business skills are partly brought about by her desire to serve others, to do good deeds and prosper.

Here is a sample of items offered:

Here WE are!

My dear friend Meagan wrote a comment on the last blog letting me know it had been 11 days since I posted and asking if I was alive. Thank you for checking on me, my friend! Yes, we are alive and well. But somehow moving in fast forward.

Let me start by updating you here. Friday the 16th, we went to Grammy and Popi's house for our traditional Friday night dinner. Isabella decided that she wanted to make a Leprechaun trap. That girl put so much time, effort and detail into her trap that I must say she is definitely her "Mother's Daughter!". With a trap, comes a little green man reeking havoc, right? That he did. Turned the toilet green, chairs upside down, green milk and juice, wrote on the door to the patio, "Ha-Ha. Try Again" (which is still trying to come off), and took the coins but lost his hat in the mean time. It was so much fun and the kids couldn't believe it.

Unfortunately our softball game was rained out that morning. Gram and Pop came over for breakfast and that afternoon we headed to Papa Joe and Grammy Alice's for Corn Beef & Cabbage!

 

The next morning, Aunt Amy and I hosted a Scentsy, Lia Sophia and ThirtyOne party @ Grammy Nancy's house. I loved everything. I loved the Thirty One product so much that I decided to become a Consultant. More on that later!

 

Last Wednesday was Popi Guy's 65th Birthday! Vincent and I picked up Grammy and headed to AW for a surprise visit and lunch. We then headed home for softball practice and back to Mom and Dad's for family dinner. It was such a fun day celebrating Popi and seeing the smile on his face!Worth every bit of the miles I logged!

 

On Friday, Miss Isabella had a school performance called "A Tribute To Moms!" We invited our Grammies to go with us. I won't try to fool you - I cried! I love that little girl more than anything. Vincent was a little jealous when I put the flower corsage on that Isabella made me. He kept saying, "But you are MY Mom!". And I would explain, "Yes, but I am Sissy's Mommy too!" We then had a great breakfast together!

 

This weekend we had several events that I forgot to bring my camera too. First off, we had a bye in Softball, so unfortunately, no game. However it worked out perfect because we had Melanie's baby shower on Saturday morning. It was absolutely adorable and I enjoyed seeing all of the little clothes and the happy look on Mel's face! Piper and Phoebe are going to have one wonderful Mama! After the shower, Caitlin and I visited Rebecca and new baby Emilia Sabrina. She is adorable and I just loved holding a tiny newborn. Yesterday we had dinner for Cousin Jon's 10th Birthday! We braved the rain and had fun visiting with our family.

I wanted to leave you with pictures of two recent projects. I created my own Prayer board that now hangs downstairs. I write the things I am praying for at the moment: Yes, that says "spending habits" and "Isabella's behavior"! I never claimed to be perfect. HaHa. Also pictured is our super cool ruler growth chart that was made with some help from Popi. It says "Calagna Supply Co." and I love it.

SO, as you can tell there is never a dull moment in the Calagna Household. I am hoping that everyone is doing well and that you all have a blessed week!!

Garden, Garden...

PLEASE GROW!!!!!!!!!

On Monday when our friend Kendal was over playing, we planted Isabella's garden! I have been wanting to do it for some time. Over the weekend I weeded everything out, put a brick edge around and built it up with dirt. I am hoping this will help with the growth. The kids had a great time planting and watering.

I also planted my "herb garden" yesterday. I am very excited about it and really hope they grow also! Wish up luck...

 

Wonderful Weekend

We had a super great weekend. Saturday of course was the Dippin' Dots softball game. The girls did so awesome and Isabella was smacking the ball. She got a home run and a triple, earning herself "Player of the Game"! Of course we had some yummy lunch afterwards with our family :) We filled the rest of the day with having Papa Joe fix a leak and weeding in the  backyard.

 

 

Sunday morning I dropped the kids off @ Grammy and Popis' and met Bianca and her family at the White Dress. She got the most gorgeous dress (cropped because I didn't think I should show it!!). She is going to be a stunning Bride and I am SO THRILLED for her!!!

I went back to pick up the kids and off we went to Downtown Disney for Teegan's 4th Birthday. Thanks Teren for an awesome party. The kids loved it!! I looked at Vin sitting there patiently waiting for directions and thought, "I guess my boy is ready for preschool!"

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a start to a Blessed week!

Life...

Life has been a whirlwind of Softball practice and games, CCD, Girl Scout meetings, delivering Girl Scout cookies, School, dealing with customer drama, putting together some orders and visiting with friends.

I don't think that I mentioned Isabella sold the most girl scout cookies in her troop - 280 boxes!!!! So proud of my girl and hopefully she will get a special badge for that.

Let's see what else has been going on: 

I spent some time out in Isabella's garden weeding and getting it ready to plant - I also planted around my fountain. Now I am on to the other planter beds in the backyard that are in need of some attention.

I have been trying to read more than being on the computer. I am hooked on these awesome books by Karen Kingsbury - Christian Fiction. I am just about finished with the 4th book in the series moving on to the 5th.  My husband said, "Don't you think that is a problem? You just bought those!" Haha. But it has been so nice to sit and read.

Yesterday afternoon we headed to Disneyland to meet Isabella's friends. We had a blast and the kids couldn't wait to tell Daddy about seeing Goofy when he got home. Looking forward to our next trip!

I hope everyone is having a blessed week and enjoying the weather! xo
