Thirty One Bunny Hop!

In my blogging absence I signed up to sell Thirty One! I am having sooo much fun!  It really in an exceptional company to work for.

There are a TON of Thirty One consultants out there and I want to stand out.  I want people to make people happy and help them find the one thing that makes their life easier or less complicated!

I have a Facebook group that I am using to help show all the different options for each product and help my customers and friends find what they are looking for.  I also list any sales or announcements so everyone is aware.

Also, a little different than some Thirty One Consultants, I am trying to do a few fundraisers.  I would like to do one a month or more!  This allows to get out and meet new people plus help our local community.  I donate a portion of my profit back to the organization!

I would love for you to join my group and gather new ideas to help make your crazy life less hectic!

Also, a special that I am doing is the Thirty One Bunny Hop...it is only open to the first 12 people and will run from 4/1-4/12.  Each participant will win one of the following prizes:

$50 in free product (4 winners)
$25 in free product (2 winners)
Your choice of hostess exclusives (3 winners)
Any item in the catalog at 1/2 off (3 winners)
 
So what do you have to do??  Simple...share the Spring 2014 catalog (I will mail you copies, or you can view online) and collect a minimum of $100.00 in orders (this is super easy).  Have everyone pay YOU for your order (they need to pay for direct shipping since there is no hostess), they can pay by cash, check, or credit, but when you submit your final order to me I only accept credit or debit cards.  Turn all orders into me by April 12, 2014.
 
The prizes will be drawn at random on 4/13/14, HOWEVER, whoever has turned in the most in sales will be able to PICK which prize they want!
 
 
Use this time to shop for Mother's Day, birthdays, end of year teacher gifts, graduation, or maybe something for yourself!
 
When you spend $35 you can get the All Pro Tote & Pro Duffle for just $25!  Great for the gym, soccer, baseball, or any other kids sports!

Wordless Wednesday - American Heart Association -Take 2

Owen is at it again - he is participating in the Jump Rope for Heart through his school.  Last year he set his goals high and was determined to raise $1,000 which he exceeded by over $300!  This year he set his goal even higher and hopes to raise $2,000.

We lost a week of fundraising but he is still determined to reach his goal and refuses to give up.

If you would like to donate, O would be ecstatic.  Even a simple dollar makes his day!


This picture is from last year - we made a shirt using his hands to make a heart and put everyone  who donated on the front and the "In Honor" and "In Memory" of were put on the back.

He cannot wait to make his shirt for this year.

All money is due by this Sunday 2/9 and if you would like to make a donation to O's fundraiser you may do so here - http://jumphoopsmaa.kintera.org/odawg (all online donations will receive a tax deductible letter).

Thank you in advance!!

Unstoppable DVD Review & Giveaway



About the film:

Inspired by the death of Cameron’s close friend who succumbed to cancer at the age of 15, Kirk Cameron takes viewers on an inspiring and hope-filled visual journey to better understand the biggest doubt-raising question in faith: “Where is God in the midst of tragedy and suffering?”
Going back to the beginning—literally—Kirk investigates the origins of good and evil and how they impact our lives … and our eternities. UNSTOPPABLE will prompt audiences to consider the role that pain and suffering has in our lives, as they affirm their personal views on faith, and encourage conversation starters about God, suffering, and hope. 
In theaters for only two weeknights (Sept 24th and Oct 3th, 2013), UNSTOPPABLE: A Live Event with Kirk Cameron sold a staggering 260,000 tickets and reached a theatrical gross of over $3.2 million dollars. In just two nights this independent project sent a loud message – audiences want thought-provoking and meaningful entertainment.   
Kirk Cameron is best known for his memorable role as “Mike Seaver,” a cultural icon of the 80's, with his mullet hairstyle, cool glasses, and wisecracking comebacks. More recently he enjoyed much success with the No. 1 grossing inspirational film of 2008, Fireproof, and his recent documentary, Monumental. Kirk and his wife, Chelsea, were on-screen sweethearts during their Growing Pains years and are the founders of Camp Firefly, where terminally and seriously ill children and their families are provided an all-expense paid retreat (www.CampFirefly.com). Together, Kirk and Chelsea live in California with their six children.

Release Date: January 28, 2014
Run Time: 65 minutes
Dove Approved ages 12+
Suggested Retail Price: $14.99
 
My Thoughts:
 
I made the mistake of turning this on with both kids (6, 3) in the room.  There was not a problem with them watching the movie, but it made it difficult for me to watch the movie.  This is a movie that makes you think so you need to pay attention.  I also was a little turned off at the beginning with the talk of death of a young man.  I just had some friends lose a newborn baby and being a mother it was not something I wanted to think about.
 
My favorite part of the whole movie was when he showed "The Pitch".  None of them wanted to hear him out or do what he was asking and you could see the frustration on Kirk's face.  It showed the big picture of how people look at things and want to focus on different aspects.
 
I love that this was a Liberty University film...Liberty is only a few hours from us and it is a great school.
 
I hope to re-watch this film alone to be able to take it all in.

University of Richmond defeats U. Mass!!

We were lucky to have tickets to see the University of Richmond basketball team play last night.  These were not your average tickets, these were court side....as in inches from the court...as in let me wipe the sweat off your brow.  It was phenomenal!  We took O with us since he's big into basketball right now and he loved it!  Unfortunately we thought it was a bit too close to bring B with us....I could just see her running out to help the cheerleaders or even the players so she stayed with Missy and Papa.

U of R defeated the #13 ranked team U. Mass, so it's always nice to see your team win and even better when they beat a ranked team!

We hope to be able to do this again (ummm....like every game please!).  I didn't get my usual ton of pictures because I was trying to make sure none of us go slobbered by the ball or a player.  Next time I may take the risk!  These were perfect seats for awesome pictures...no random heads in the way or anything!

O got to hold the ball during the under 12 minute time out....he thought it was the coolest thing ever!

So here you go...my raw, unedited pictures from last night (sorry folks...I'm no fancy dancy photographer, I don't edit my pictures which is why I take a ton!)

 
 
 
This was taken from my cell phone (by T...pretty cool shot)
 

 

 






 
 

 
 









 












 
 

 











Believe it or not, I didn't post ALL the pictures that I took!!  Such a fun family experience.  If you are in the area you have to check out a home Spiders basketball game....so much fun!
