Cindy was kind enough to let me take over her blog for one post. So
just a little about me… I’m <strong>Kim</strong>, I live way out in the country and I love it!!
I didn’t grow up in the country so I’ve had to get use to a couple things
like hearing cows moo A-L-L-N-I-G-H-T-L-O-N-G, but now I would not trade it for
anything! On Christmas Day, the man of my dreams asked me to marry him
(insert happy dance) so right now we are in the middle of planning our wedding.
I still can’t believe I’m going to marry my best friend, it feels like a
dream. I would love to hear any Bride-to-be and Wife-to-be advice you
might have.<br />
<br />
Let’s shift gears just a little bit or I will get carried away with talking
about wedding plans. A few months ago a friend of mine, Mendy, talked me
into becoming a Thirty-One Consultant and I have loved every minute of it.
I’m still learning new things about the company and their products and I
am amazed at the great quality of the products and the company as a whole.
As a Christian the Thirty-One vision meant a lot to me and I loved
joining a team of other great Christian ladies. “ The name Thirty-One is
derived from the Old Testament, where Proverbs 31 describes a virtuous woman
who exhibits hard work, wisdom, encouragement and care for others. Because of
these qualities she is worthy of reward, honor and praise. It is our intention
to celebrate, encourage and reward women for who they are as individuals.
Through God’s strength, we’ve built a family of individuals who are committed
to providing women with a fulfilling, enjoyable and rewarding experience,
whether as a Customer, a Hostess or a Consultant.” What an awesome vision
statement! Thirty-One has something for everyone. Have you heard of
Thirty-One? Do you already have a Thirty-One Girl?<br />
<br />
Here is the fun part……drum roll please……In honor of Cindy’s Birthday Month and
Mother’s Day we are doing a GIVEAWAY!!! It is a FABULOUS Giveaway if I
must say so myself. You could win the Perfect Party Set(you can pick your
print) all you need to do is leave your email address in the comments
below or on facebook and let us know if you already have a Thirty-One Girl.
To increase your chances
of winning type "add me" to the Thirty-One Group on Facebook in your comment. The
Facebook group is a great place to hear about the Thirty-One specials.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Behind the simplicity of Brunswick Stew lies a rather complicated past. A longtime dispute between Brunswick, Georgia, and Brunswick County, Virginia, exists over who cooked the first batch of stew.</i></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Traditionally, Brunswick Stew was cooked in an iron cauldron over fire for a large group of people, using whatever ingredients are on hand. Virginia’s version is thick and chock-full of pulled meat and vegetables, while Georgia’s has more broth and often a squirt of fresh lemon juice. You’ll also rarely see peas in a Virginia stew, but almost always in a Georgia stew.</i></span></div>
