    I would absolutely love this bag and would take it with me to Ethiopia as we have just started a ministry to orphans, prostitutes, pastors, and the whole town of Hosanna. We will be there two more times in the next few months to do ministry, bring our three kids on their first mission trip and pick up our 7 year old daughter and finally bring her home.

    Thank you for all you do, a blessing to watch you and others like you spread the heart of Jesus.

  34. Jennifer Campbell Says:

    I would LOVE to have a bag! I love the messenger style, so I can take it on the 4-wheeler when I go on home visits to see the malnourished kids and their families. I wouldn't have to worry about falling off and getting lost. I would fill it with medicenes, creams.soaps, bandaids, and of course candy for the kids!

  35. April Says:

    Totally want to win the red bag. Thanks for being an inspiration to us all!

  36. Katie B Says:

    My husband and I are planning to begin the process of adoption. If I won the tote, I would love to use it when we get to go pick up our child!

  41. Katie B Says:

    Maybe I would carry this bag everywhere…it would be a great conversation starter about orphans around the world. :-)

  42. Jessica Rudder Says:

    Sorry if this double posted. I thought I entered the first day, but I don’t see my comment.

    I liked the My Crazy Adoptions page on Facebook. My FB name is “Jessica Fields Rudder”.

    As for where I would take the bag, I’d love to take it to Ethiopia in the next year to pick up some adorable 10-year-old siblings thathave spent the last year on the Waiting Child list. I just have to convince my husband (or, rather, allow God to covince him) that having children is not scary.

  43. Jen Lyons Says:

    I absolutely love everything you do and your heart for missions! I would love any color tote:)

  44. Susan G Says:

    I linked you up on my blog! Everyone should know about My Crazy Adoption!

  45. guessmom Says:

    I gave a shout out to you on my blog. Thanks for all you do for the orphans.

  46. Faith Says:

    Posted on fb

  47. graceling Says:

    I shared this blog/giveaway and your mission fundraiser on FB (but can only go to your personal page on FB? I can't find a place to "like" MCA on FB- just a link to your personal page?)

    Anyway, if I win, I would take this tote everywhere. I think I would use it to replace my current "durse" (diaper bag + purse). Because this tote is way cuter than the black thing they sent home with me from the hospital.

  48. Debi Says:

    I like you on Facebook. If I had a bag, I’d use it as my purse and ditch the Coach purse! I’d carry it everywhere! Not only would it be filled with my stuff, my kids would stick their things in too…it’s just what moms do!

  49. Brittany Hughes Says:

    I would love to take this tote with me on my trip to Kenya this summer to minister to orphans at Gathiga Children's Hope Home. As much as I love this tote, I would probably pass it on to someone else. What good is love if it can't be shared? :) I also "liked' your facebook page! Blessings!

  50. Katie B Says:

    I would use this bag everywhere…travel, work, church, etc. :-)

  51. Kari Gibson Says:

    Marybeth Rolfe- you are the WINNER of the Mama Kiki Tote bag- please email me and let me know what color you pick and your mailing address!!
    Congratulations!!

  52. guessmom Says:

    I gave you a shout-out on my blog. Your tote would be my day-to-day take-everywhere can't-do-without sidekick.
