***THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED, CONGRATULATIONS TO WINNER #10 Tiffany***
With a new year, also comes wishes of organization. This year I am obsessed with not wishing but creating organization!
It’s one thing I’m kind of horrible about. Between work stuff, kid stuff, blog stuff, and house stuff often things fall through the cracks. I’ve blogged before about how I use Thirty-one bags to organize my documents. During that time I was hosting an online Thirty-one Party. I purchased for myself a Fold n GO Organizer and I have to tell you it’s become my go to for keeping my days/life on track. When in doubt, write it down.
It folds up into a really manageable size. It fits easily into my purse and is great to grab for taking quick notes during phone calls on the road. But also works very nicely for keeping track of coupons. I’m a huge couponer and have been since my youngest was born. Thanks in large part to my good friend Lauren over at IamthatLady. I feel naked just walking into a store and paying retail for things. Plus every dime I save gets me closer to a new pair of shoes (running or heels I’m not fussy)
I wanted to share with you this little gem that has made such a difference for me!
The pocket on the left side has two velcro seals. It makes a great place to store coupons especially the kind that you know you are most likely to use. For my family the coupons you will find in there are for coffee creamers, wipes and yogurt. Obviously we have a problem!
I also love the pocket on the right side. I can store pens, calculators and business cards in it. It makes for easy access when I need them.
What is also great about this little organizer is the elastic band that keeps in closed and all together. Since I rarely rip paper out of my note books it also provides me the perfect way to fold back used pages. I don’t know about you but I often go back and reference notes I’ve taken for work. I even write down blog topic ideas in this puppy right as I think of them. It’s great to able to go back on the run and look at the notes I’ve taken. Heck even my to-do list is at hand in case I have a few extra minutes.
I have this thing with me at all times. I know I’m going to be sad when the paper is gone but looking around online they are mutli-functioning even after! I saw on pinterest people using them to hold nooks/kindles as well as baby wipes and accessories! Not a bad deal.
It’s also pretty easy to clean. Mine has fallen victim to my children’s “coloring” a time or two and with the simple wipe of a warm wash cloth, problem solved. And we haven’t even talked about how cute it is yet?! I’m a sucker for black and white. My house is covered in it, my wedding was themed in it and I just adore the contrast. Thirty-one makes a great product cute, functional and affordable! These are available from your local consultant for $24 and come in a variety of colors.
Here is an example:

I want to get organized because it helps everything else fall into place better when I am! We had a family meeting in Jan & got big wall calendar which we used to color code every family members activities & schedule! It has really made a difference-we will be sitting down 2 plan/chart Feb next week! Having a smaller planner w/notebook & pockets would be perfect as I too enjoy couponing but honestly leave them home half the time! Great idea & I love the size and cute layout of this planner too!
i need to get organized for 1,000 reasons!! the biggest: to save some more $$ (i also coupon, not big league TLC style) & need to keep them organized as opposed to scattered across the coffee table, their current location!
So thankful for my family – so grateful to have such wonderful people in my life!
I’m the new president of my local romance writer’s group, which will necessitate me getting much more organized.
I am so very thankful for my husband and three sweet children.

I do NOT function without planners, phone apps for organization, note pads, etc… and THIS THING LOOKS AMAZING!!! My organizational self is DROOLING!!!
This looks like a great product/tool. I’d like to get my desk organized and this would help me know where a number of things are- in one place!
Oops! I still mean my first comment. I’m thankful for family and good health!
No Nicole you were right the first time! I duplicates an old raffle copter to Save time but it has all the old contest info in it
I’m too scared to change it, I don’t want to loose all the entries. Live and learn I suppose!
With my blog doing well, staying organized is essential! I have a few different things set up, but it would be great to have it all in one place!
This looks awesome! I just recently found out about Thirty One and the minty chip pattern happens to be my favorite!
Hopefully giving someone an organizer as a gift be taken as an .
I’m thankful for my healthy family!

A mom of two boys…need I say more;)
I really need something that I keep all my coupons in. I clip the coupons and forget to use them. This will really help me.
What a fabulous giveaway!! I literally carry my planner at all times – but it’s annoying because I always have papers and pens falling out of it. I would LOVE to have an all-in-one planner like this one! It would make this Type A girl extremely happy!
I would love to have my purse organized, and with a planner, everything would be kept all together in one spot. This is a great giveaway btw
I would love to “stay” organized in many areas of my life. My purse is the one that I think this would help out the most. I have tried a small to medium purse and they still look messy inside. This must be the key! Great tip…also lovin the cusefit2013. Thanks Renee!
I’m thankful for my fiance, family, friends, a home, food, and good health!
I’m thankful for our fire in this cold weather!
I am thankful that winter will be over in a couple of months
Also thankful to have a wonderful husband.
My fiancé and family!
I need to be more organized because my blog is growing but I don’t have the time I need because I procrastinate on other things… I need better organization!
I need to get organized before I have my first baby in June! Life is about to get crazy!
I definitely need to be more organized with my 4 kids in so many activities, trying to use more coupons that I print from the Internet, trying to run at least 13 races, attend gym classes, plan & cook meals plus snacks and so much more!! This could truly save me in many areas of my life. Thank you so much for this giveaway!! It’s a great way to help someone make their life more efficient and easier!
I have every reason in the world to get organized! I would love to feel like I am on top of things instead of doing everything at the last minute and just “scraping by”. I have wanted to start couponing for a long time and this organizer looks perfect and your way of using it sounds ideal! Thanks for the chance to win!
This looks so awesome. Anything to help keep more organized!!! Life is a zoo…we need all the help we can get keeping the animals in line! LOL
As a Thirty-One consultant, I can attest that the Fold N Go is an awesome product. I have a lot of clients that LOVE this product, just like Renee. Thank you Renee for sharing a little of the magic that Thirty-One products can do for others! And I loved reading how this little thing has made your life easier!
I am so disorganized this would come in handy thanks for the giveaway
To simply manage paying bills easier by having them all in one place so I can finally discard my old planner that is heavy.
I need to get more organized, so this giveaway is perfect for me! I work as a service coordinator for developmentally disabled adults. My caseload is pretty large and it’s hard to keep track of everyone’s information, schedules, and everything I need to do for them. I have a planner, but I’d love the compartments and pouches for important papers and pens.
Hi Renee! What a great post. I am a Thirty-One consultant and love the fold-n-go as well. Just wanted to let you know that when your notepad runs out, our li’l expressions notepad with the cute people on it will fit in that spot just perfectly. You can make one up with you and your family on the bottom and you might enjoy your fold-n-go even more than you do already!
Amy that is great to know! You have NO idea, I love this thing so much I’ve been trying to figure out what size note pad I could put in once the first runs out. Replacement note pads would be GREAT!
