Thirty One - An organizational dream

A few months ago a friend of mine asked me if I knew what thirty-one was? Duh of course I know! I didn't realize it was that obvious, thirty-one is my age! HaHaHaHa! After a good laugh she began to tell me how thirty-one is this amazing bag company. And I have to admit the first thing I thought was “oh lord the last thing I need is another bag!” I have beautiful bags; name your color, fabric & style & I am sure I can find one in my closet but now all I tote around is my double XL diaper bag!

But see that's where my friend, Susan Pecha, is different than your typical thirty one representative…she doesn't sell bags at all. She provides you with the means to better your life! To organize your life!

Susan joined the thirty-one team because she LOVES the bags and all the amazing storage items. She loves the brand so much that in May of 2014 she decided to support her own habit and become a thirty-one representative. It is one of the easiest jobs to have because the bags literally sell themselves (I will attest to that later…). As opposed to other direct sales companies that require a lot of prep work to host a party a potential host doesn’t have to do anything at all other than provide Susan with a list of who she would like to invite. Or better yet a host can choose to host a virtual catalog party, which fits into everyone’s schedule!

"But what really sets Susan apart from your typical thirty-one representatives is that she is an affordable professional organizer."

To prove it Susan presented me with a challenge. Pick one area of my house; the messiest, disorganized room or closet & she will redo it for me. Say what!?!? Yes you read that right! She would help me figure out how to organize this!

Allow me to introduce you to my catch all closet! It is one of the smallest closest in my home and yet serves so many different purposes. It is my snack closet (which includes but not limited too snack bars, cookies, & baby snacks/foods), linen closet, small kitchen appliance closet, reusable bag storage closet and on occasions if I can squeeze it in there I even store my canister vacuum in there!

This was the one space in my house that I would push the door close and pretend it didn’t exist. It is a black hole. I knew things were in there but I could never find them or it would require the removal of ten different items to get to the one I was looking for. Which, if you can imagine, is not ideal when you are trying to get grab a snack before you head out the door with little midgets wrapped around your body!

So what did I do? Well my husband tried to “organize” the space which probably makes sense in his world but the problem with that was he put all “his snacks” in the front & everything I use daily for the kids impossible to reach with one hand. (“E” for effort babe…) I was at my wits end and deemed it a lost cause. Then Susan promised me she could organize ANYTHING!

Susan told me to take a pic/video of my space, measurements and tell her how I use the space (or rather how I would like to use the space. HaHa). Sounds easy enough. Susan did all the rest!

The next day she had a plan. She told me what pieces would fit, how I should label/organize the stuff into the bins, and even told me which pattern was available in all the different size bins. All I had to do was Okay the order and within two weeks my new organizational system was at my door.

It felt like Christmas in July! I was soooo excited that I did what any other loving mother would do. I packed a bag for Grandma’s house and set the kids there for a few hours so I could get my organization on!!

In less than 2 hours, my closet looked like this!

I took every single thing out of the closet and separated the items among my bins. And are you ready for this…sit down…I actually was able to get MORE stuff in the closet now that it is organized with bins than I was able to before.

I was naive to think the bins would take away space in my already small closet, that they would not organize my mess and my closet was a lost cause. But Susan has given me back hope…not just in my closet but also in my life! I did it in there…we (yes Susan I CAN NOT DO THIS ALONE!!!!) can do it everywhere in my house!

So fast forward where am I now…ummm….obessed with thirty-one. Anytime I need a bag the first place I check is Susan’s Thirty-One page: https://www.mythirtyone.com/shop/catalog.aspx

Since Susan’s challenge I have gone on to order a carry case for my iPad that I love…a wristlet that I love and a large utility tote with clinch top that you guessed it…I love!!! Due to my son’s sensory issues, I basically need a travel size sensory gym. So I need a HUGE durable tote to carry all this stuff around everywhere we go! This bag comes EVERYWHERE with me. It is literally my second diaper bag and it looks like I just bought it, even though I have had it already on a few road trips!

Look at every thing I have in here plus there is still room to add more!! In case you are wondering I have well over 60 different sensory toys for my son & a few extras for my daughter too! (I'll get into that bag in a future post!)
