Thirty One Gifts! I love 31!

I haven't posted much about Thirty One since I became a consultant back in the Fall but today I def have to post about 31 because I love this company more and more :) It's soo much fun so how could I not love it!!?!


A friend from church hosted a party this weekend and it was ALOT of FUN!! Chloe wanted to be my big helper so she helped me throughout the morning to make sure that I had everything that I needed to take along with me. She loves that Thirty One is always in pink so as we were putting the catalogs together with order sheets, paper for the drawing and business cards she made sure we only used PINK paper clips! She is so cute and so helpful, I love it! Even at the party she passed out the catalogs to each person that attended. 
The party was a BIG success and the hostess walked away with a lot of FREE stuff and two half priced items! It can't get better than that :) She even likes the idea of becoming a consultant herself and with all she got she is well on her way to having a variety of products to show others once she gets started! 

I am still booking parties for the month of March and April if anyone that I know locally in the Fayetteville area wants to host one so you just have to let me know and we can do one before I move!! 
And along with bookings for here, I am open to booking parties in PA, NY and even NJ for anyone that is back home and would like to be a hostess, they can start booking for April, May and June and we can get you some FREE stuff too!! 


Anyone that refers someone to me will also get $5 off their next order so be sure to tell your friends and make sure they let me know you referred them! 


One of the biggest things I LOVE about 31 is the fact that they have customer and hostess specials every single month! You don't have to spend alot to get the special so its really great! 


*In March all customers that spend $31 can get a purse of their choice at 1/2 OFF!!

*In April all customers that spend $31 can get an All-in-One-Organizer at 1/2 OFF!!


Since I'm posting about 31 today, I went around today and took photos of some of my favorite everyday items! Here they are :)

Large Utility Tote..I love this! We use it in the living room for the kids toys and more for laundry and groceries

Thermal Lunch tote *Love this too...we use this everyday when we got out, pack up Chloe and Liam's snacks and drinks!

Picnic Thermal Tote. Chloe loves going to the park and having a picnic so this comes in handy!

Organizing Utility Tote...Love using this when we go out and are gone for most of the day! It can hold everything we need! Can be used as a diaper bag even! 

Albany Bag has been my everyday purse lately plus I always have my wristlet wallet with me :) Love them both!!

Mini-on-the-go-organizer... I use this to carry my handy FLIP video camera!! soo cute and handy :) 

I have so many more FAVS! and am always ordering new things! If I could I would probably just purchase the whole catalog! LOL if anyone wants to check out Thirty One for themselves check it out at www.mythirtyone.com/mrsfen or just get ahold of me and I will answer any questions and help you do any of your shopping!


MY SITE IS TEMPORARILY DOWN! Contact me to place any orders!! Sorry for any inconvenience!

Sooo thankful for good friends

Today I had two good friends reach out to me when they noticed that something was wrong and I was in need of a good talk and it was really great! I am so glad that I have such great friends, old and new, that I can talk to about things and it makes me feel 10 times better!! I am sooo thankful that I am lucky enough to have such great friends :) 


Its great to have people that can somehow relate to your life experiences and are able to see why you are the person you are because of your past life experiences and still accept you. My past has definitely shaped me. I am the way that I am because of everything that has happened to me in my life and even though at times I feel angry, sad, upset and embarrassed about things that have happened in my life, I am thankful that I have been able to learn from everything, grow and make my life the way I choose for it to be and not use excuses as an explanation for doing wrong. 


Thank you to those who have been such great friends to me!! :) 
You are the best!!!

March Madness!

I can't believe that March is already here and we are 3 days into the month! Where did Jan and Feb go?! 

ALOT is happening for us this month...on Monday we added our home to the rental market. We will still keep it listed For Sale but we really do not want to leave Fayetteville and have an empty house here. So please pray we are able to rent or sell it in the next few weeks! 

We arranged our moving date with the Army...they will come in the last few days of the month and pack up our whole house, then they will move it to New York. The first week of April will be our last week here so because everything will be moved out we plan to stay in an extended stay until Sean signs out on the 8th

Today I took the kids to storytime :) We haven't gone in quite awhile so it was kind of special today and I really enjoyed the time with my two kiddos <3 Liam is now big enough to sit on the bench with the other kids so he did it for the first time today and loved it! He stayed there the whole time during the story and just listened while he held a book in his lap. After the story the kids colored and played with the train set before we picked out the books they were going to get and headed over to Starbucks. Chloe loves the muffins there so we got a muffin, chose a table and shared the muffin and read the books that we picked out! Chloe got a Tangled book because Rapunzel is her new favorite! And Liam got a Mickey Mouse book because Mickey is his FAV! :)

We Love the Park!!

It has been a great end of the week and weekend :) Beautiful weather and ALOT of fun at the park this week!!

We went to the park with new friends this week! Well not really new but kind of new I guess you could say lol. Its a funny story of how good Chloe is at making friends everywhere we go and remembers EVERYTHING!
She made friends with a little girl in the Tricare office back early in January and then a few days later we go to dance class and the little girl is in her dance class! Chloe and Lillian just so happen to be the same age and she has a little brother, Thomas who is the same age as Liam! :) Ever since the boys have spent time playing together while the girls are in dance class and the momma's talk :) Its been really nice and alot of fun having new friends to hang out with, but will be sad to say goodbye in the near future!

Saturday went to the park with Heather and the kids and had lunch afterwards! We haven't done it in awhile so it was much needed lol and we had alot of fun!!! We are really going to miss them when we move too! And talking about our move made me realize how soon it really is. We only have 5 weekends left in Fayetteville...exciting but sad all at the same time! I'm excited for the next part of our life to begin but sad to say goodbye to good friends and leave the house we've made home for the past few years.

Today after church we went home and changed and had lunch then went out to the park with daddy! :) It was so beautiful out today that we had to get out of the house! And Chloe and Liam love with daddy comes with us too! It reached 80 today so we didnt stay out in the sun for too long but the kids had a great time playing on the slides and swings and running all over the place!
Liam is getting so much better at walking now...this whole week he just keeps doing it more and more. He can turn and change the direction he is walking without falling over and he can stand up without holding onto anything to pull him up! It's been amazing to watch the changes. Chloe loves trying to get him to walk to her and do things with her and now with him walking better, they play together alot more :) I keep catching them in Liam's room playing together with the kitchen set! Its sooo cute! I love my two little babies sooo much!! <3

Now the kids are in bed and I'm going to watch a movie with my bayba before we head to bed! It will be very nice that tomorrow will be my first day in a long time where I don't have to wake up to my alarm :) The kids and I are already planning to take advantage of the nice weather tomorrow by going to the gym and then to the park :)

busy busy bee

I have been so busy that blogging has not been on the top of my to-do list and it looks like things will just get busier in the next month but I am planning to add blogging to my to-do list so I don't forget to keep all of you in the loop ;) even if its just real short and sweet!

we are down to 42 days!!!!! FOURTY TWO DAYS! Can you believe it?! That is so soon!
We had our very first showing last Saturday! We were so excited and got some really good feedback but no offers have been made yet. Still praying and keeping our fingers crossed that a sale could take place soon. So if anyone knows anyone looking for a home to buy please please send them our way :)

Either way a move to NY is happening so soon! the house has changed a lot, we had the living and dining room re-carpeted last week and it looks so nice! It turned out perfectly and I hope that it helps with the sale. Our garage seems to have turned into a black hole where everything we don't want, use, need or will be sold, ends up and I'm a little scared to even go out there and try to organize it until after Sean goes through all of his Army stuff that will have to be turned in. The yard looks great too, its nice that the weather has been so warm and we were able to take advantage of that and get outside work done.

Today is my very last day babysitting. Some know that I have been caring for a 2 year old since the first week of August and I decided a few months back that February would be my last month so I could take more time to prepare for our move. I am looking forward to not waking up every morning at 6am and having 3 kids all day long! Its been great but challenging and I know for sure that I def would not be up for a baby #3 anytime soon! So many people have asked if we are done having children esp since we have one of each, and I think we are but sometimes wonder if maybe down the road we will want another, so it has been talked about that it will be discussed again at a much later date! LOL

Today I also had to take my little man in for a chest x-ray. :( poor little guy was not happy about it at all and it broke my heart, but mommy's family sure has some unpleasant things in our family medical history and it passed along asthma to him so he had to have one done. I found out yesterday when I took him to the doctor that he has asthma. I have it really bad and hoped that neither one of my kids would get it but sure enough one of them did and its my sweet boy. Only 11 months old and he sure has had some not so fun times at the doctors. I'm glad that we know early so he has what he needs when he needs it because having an asthma attack and not having what you need is no good!! I pray that he will grow out of it throughout his childhood and not have to deal with it as an adult like his momma does.

well now its lunch time and miss Chloe keeps asking if we can have lunch and watch a movie together, I love having special time with her each day :)

Liam's Baptism!

On Sunday, February 20th, 2011 around 9am, my little Liam was baptized at our church on Fort Bragg! It was so great to have family and friends be there for his special day! Sean's Aunt and Uncle traveled up from South Carolina on Saturday, my dad and my mommom traveled from PA on Saturday and our friends, Tanya and John, traveled down from PA on Friday! CC and Derek and the kids were also here and Heather and Rob and kids :)

After the church service, the church had a cake for Liam :)

Then everyone came back to our place and spent the afternoon enjoying Jersey Mike's, more cake and other goodies!

It was a really great day! and I'm very thankful for all of those that took part in it :)
The same pastor that baptized Chloe 2 1/2 years ago, also baptized Liam, which I thought was pretty special
Here are some pics from his special day!!

Daddy, Liam, Momma and Chloe :)
