End Summer Organized!!!
It’s time to start planning because soon you’ll have to put away Summery things. Odds are your family’s not done with outdoor toys and summer clothes just yet, but that’s why now is the perfect time to get ready! Don’t wait until fall starts to plan for storing your family’s summer stuff. Thirty-One has some great solutions to make storage neat, simple, and effective.
Why worry about hunting a bulky box of summer clothes out of the attic or garage next year when you can just slide a discreet Thirty-One Oversized Storage Organizer under each of your kids’ beds? Use the Oversized Storage Organizer to keep summer clothes from being lost in the bottoms of closets. You can neatly fit lots of summer clothes in a single organizer, and
since it’s only 8” tall, it slides under almost any bed!
since it’s only 8” tall, it slides under almost any bed!
You’ve probably got some summer toys to put away, too: outdoor nets, rackets, balls, and swimming accessories. Don’t shove them into a plastic storage bin and hope that nothing makes a hole in your inflatable raft or tube. Smaller inflatables and toys can fit into a Zipper Pouch – like arm floaties, diving sticks, etc. For larger inflatable pool rafts or lounges, the Expand-a-tote Day Extender expands to 20.5”high by 17” wide with 8.5” deep with a zip closure. Be sure that your inflatable pool
items are completely dry and deflated before you start folding or rolling them up. Not only are you protecting your pool or beach toys for next year, but your storage space will look much more attractive filled with Thirty-One prints!

While you start getting your home organized for the upcoming school year, remember to donate things that you and your family no longer need or want. Try setting up a Large Utility Tote in your laundry room or the garage. Tell your family that it is your “Donation Bag.” When it gets full, transfer the contents to a plastic bag and drop it off at your local donation center. As your kids get new school clothes, have them clean out anything from last year that doesn’t fit or that they just don’t like to wear. Don’t forget to check your closet too!

NICU Bag-Raiser for South Shore Hospital
the nicu experience can be summed up in one word... rollercoaster. typically your expectations of what the first moments, minutes, hours, days (and for us months and years) of parenthood are "supposed to be" are sort of, well, dashed.
being my first born, my girls busted into this world 15 weeks early. crazy i know. i was not prepared at all... doctors and nurses and lactation consultants and social workers and insurance companies and respiratory therapists and ahhhh! i basically lived in a daze, reluctantly leaving at the end of the day just to wake up during the night to pump, get up in the morning and head right back.
12 hour days were never so tiring or rewarding... and i must admit, i don't remember much of it.
i *do* remember being extremely disorganized. i also remember making my husband drive me to the store so i could at least have a bag to get baby stuff back and forth. i didn't even have a diaper bag yet. i hadn't had a baby shower yet. i just wanted to feel like a mommy! i bought a quilted bag in a cute pattern... it was cute, somewhat functional... and it turns out, kind of gross.
i spent 12 hours plus a day in the hospital. it was fabric, but couldn't really be *washed.* it was basically a germ magnet. blargh.
i thought i would do something not just for the NICU at the hospital that did a glove save on my girls, but for the parents of the tiny miracles that are there fighting each and every day. they could use it!
i'm putting up a link for a "bag-raiser!" i think the 'organizing utility tote' (item 3105) is the best tote for the job for parents. You can wipe it down with alcohol wipes, you could even rinse it out with soap and water. it's just perfect! they'll be able to use it throughout their nicu journey and beyond!
i'd love to be able to deliver a whole bunch of these this fall. personalizing (and extra $7) is totally welcome. some great ideas that were thrown out on facebook were:

My 31 Story - WHY Amy WHY?
some of my friends still insist i'm silly for 'selling bags.' they say, 'WHY amy? WHY did you decide to do this? how are you successful?' my answer: believe in it! you're as strong as you think you are in so many ways. trust me!
it's a real legitimate opportunity to sell items i *believe* in... on my own schedule... and go to parties when i go to work. i say they're silly for not considering it!
