Band Angels is brand line of products created in 2009 to provide mothers and caretakers a way to comfort and teach children in the ways of the Bible when everyday, minor injuries occur.

Who would have that a product most commonly used to cover my daughter’s ouchie boo boo’s  could open the door to ministering to my children, their friends, and to complete strangers about the healing love and power of God Almighty!

These band-aids feature two fun angel friends carrying a scroll that features up to three Bible verses that talk about healing such as Ex. 15:26 “For I am the LORD that heals you”. Jeremiah 30:17 “For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds”. And Isaiah 53:5 …by His stripes we are healed.

My Thoughts….

I received a box of these to review and I’ve had to use them plenty. My daughter turning two years old next month is a bit of a tom boy. She’s about afraid of nothing and when she gets outdoors, there’s no doubt that she’ll return back to me with all sorts of cut, scrapes, and bruises to be bandaged.

S he also gets blood draw every six weeks to three months depending on how her thyroid condition is doing and these are always great to pull out to put on her boo boo’s after she ends up pulling the other band-aids off. She’s getting older and I’ve been sharing more about God with her and she really likes these band-aids a lot. I like them too because they are less likely to just fall off as well. One day I left the box out and Melody was putting them all over her dolls whom apparently fell down and got hurt. Did I mention she’s got quite the imagination?

You can purchase Band Angels straight from their website and in most christian book stores. Boxes contain twenty band-aids and right now are three boxes for ten dollars or you can buy each box individual for $3.50 box which includes shipping in the United States!

There’s always been something extra special about using handmade soaps. I’d prefer them over any soap that I’d typically be purchasing at my local retail store.

You can imagine how excited that I was when I was contacted personally to review several 2 ounce bars of soap from the company The Joy of Soap. This company offers natural skin care made from organic, natural and sustainably grown ingredients perfect for skin types of all kinds.

I reviewed several different scents that their soap are available in and I must say that I love all them. Each of the soaps I received arrived in a 100% cotton muslin bags, which  can be reused for many other purposes around my house! Recently we’ve been using the Cucumber Curious soap in which not only do I like but my husband does too. We both love the fact that the scent isn’t over bearing but instead smells light and wonderful. This soap also gives a fantastic lather as well meaning that just a little goes a long way.

If you are thinking of purchasing soap for yourself or for as a gift for someone else, I encourage you to check out The Joy of Soap. Their soaps would make the perfect addition to a gift basket and the perfect gift for Mom this Mother’s Day. Be on the look out as well because they will soon be offering more skin care products such as scrubs, cleansers, and creams.

If you are looking vegan, organic baby, and kid products, you may want to check out Kid Bean. While visiting there, I found everything from clothes and toys to bath and body to a fantastic selection of ec0-friendly furniture!

I was given the opportunity to review Maggie’s Organics Organic Cotton Penguin Stuffed Toy , an adorable toy just perfect for the Christmas and winter season!I love the fact that this toy is made with organic cotton and recycled materials, and fair labor. Another fun fact is that each penguin is hand-sewn on a 100% worker-owned co-operative in North Carolina, so each one is unique. This toy is great for children of all ages as Maggie’s Organics hand embroiders each penguin’s face so no small parts can come off.

I’m not sure who loves this little penguin more my daughter or me! I’m really glad that Kid Bean has chosen to include such great eco-friendly companies on their site and have rightly earned the Green America seal of approval . Their prices are definitely something to brag about too!

Pretty Please Press publishes various titles of children’s books that were made to be read aloud and later discussed. Each of the books available are hoped to be building blocks in helping to enlighten and teach children various values through each issue displayed with the end results of learned life long character skills.

A special thanks to Pretty Please Press for giving me the opportunity to Review and Giveaway a set of their character building books! I hope you benefit from the short write up of each book below.

My thoughts…

Kick Block Punch by Jacquie Hann

This book is the perfect story for children who may have an interest in martial arts. We find the main character, a boy named Sam, learning that to master a certain skill he must start at the bottom and work his way up. This story teaches patience, practice, and determination and is perfect for discussion. I personally love seeing the character development through the story. This book is quite special to me because I took karate classes growing up and learned these lessons in self-discipline first hand.

Basset Ballerina by Laura Aimee Garn & Illustrated by Valerie Sokolova

This book will be quite a treat to all dog lovers out there. I know a friend of mine who has a basset hound, and I’m sure she would just eat this book right up!  I love this whimsical tale of Bella the Basset hound whose dream is to become a great ballerina. The illustrations in this book are ever so delightful. Though everyone tries to deter Bella from the dream she has, she tries her very best no matter what, which is really counts the most.

Pynx by Jeffrey Greene

My husband being a fan of science fiction is a real fan of the illustrations that can be found throughout the pages of this book. The creatures have fun names Long- Tailed Lavender Cripe, White Fuzzbun, Blue Pipsqueak, and other names! In this story you’ll learn what it means to accept others despite their differences and to look within yourself in to try and make a point. Perfect story in teaching children to not be so quick to judge others who may live, look, and act a little different than themselves. It really makes me think about the song “Why can’t we be friends?”. 

The Scritchy Little Twittchell Sisters by Laura Aimee Gran and Illustrated by Erik Brooks

I literally laughed out loud when reading through this story. I grew up with four sisters, one older and three younger, so I can really relate to this book though quite a bit of the parts are exaggerated for amusement purposes, I’m sure. Siblings will fight, there’s no preventing that. In this book, despite the good, bad, and the sometimes ugly, the point put across is that through it all understanding and appreciation for each other can be learned. Anyone whom has a sibling especially girls with  sisters as well as their parents would really love this book, in my opinion.

Giveaway is now over.
