Cuddle and Kind 20″ Doll (of your choice!) – $65

I am very passionate about kindness (I even wrote a whole book about it – see it HERE!), so when I stumbled upon these adorable Cuddle and Kind dolls I fell completely in love.  Everything about Cuddle and Kind’s mission is to improve the lives of children and make a difference.  Each doll is beautifully hand-knit and for each doll sold, Cuddle and Kind gives 10 meals to children in need!

You MUST go check out all of the doll options – the one above is Benedict and I thought he was just so quirky and cuddly.  There are mermaids and girl bunnies and cats and deers!  You will have so much fun picking a Cuddle and Kind doll out for your child – AND being a part of Cuddle and Kind’s greater mission to provide for food impoverished children.

Favorite booksMy Favorite Books from 2016 – $51 value

I love to read and I love sharing with my blog friends when I find something awesome.  Both Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet: Tasting the Goodness of God in All Things by Sara Hagerty and Simply Tuesday: Small-Moment Living in a Fast-Moving World by Emily Freeman (affiliate links) were like taking a big, giant breath of fresh air.  I found so much hope and encouragement from these women and their faith, vulnerability, and the way they keep running to Him no matter what they are going through.  I promise you will love these books, too!

And because this is my giveaway, I HAD to offer one of my own copies of my book The Kindness Antennae!  This beautiful, hard copy edition is filled with fun ideas, hilarious stories, and encouragement to help you and your families spread God’s love through acts of kindness in your world.  I hope you like it. 🙂

  6. I think my favorite part is being introduced to new (to me) talented folks through the products you’re giving away. I always need unique gifts for friends and family and it’s nice to have some new sources.

  10. Oh goodness! It is so hard to choose just one thing that I love about this giveaway! I think my most favorite things are the beautiful mama and papa bear mugs. They are unbelievably adorable! Thanks for the change to win all these amazing gifts!

    reply to this comment

  40. I love this sort of fun giveaway where a bunch of beautiful prizes are put together by a group of supportive women. I have yet to win anything, but it’s still fun to read through all the prizes and dream of one of them showing up at my door.

    reply to this comment

  88. Oh man! All of it? 🙂 I’m a missionary wife and mom (currently home for a couple months) and we very seldomly have the “extra” for any fun or even needed stuff. Thanks for giving the chance for this fun giveaway! 🙂

    reply to this comment

  94. My three year old daughter LOVES Goldilocks and the Three Bears. She “reads” it to me every day. If I am not lucky enough to win, I will probably order the mama bear/papa bear mugs for her birthday (Girl has enough toys and lots of generous grandparents – so I’m always on the lookout for non toy gifts!) Thanks for sharing so many nifty ideas.

  96. Those little dolls are adorable. My cousin will be having a baby in September; my niece’s son turns 1 in August. I can’t decide who I’d gift it to if I were to win. I love that they donate meals when they sell a doll.

    reply to this comment

  106. Seriously, there is no way I could choose just one of your items as my favorite. I like that you selected things that are not just great products, but also that help others (donating meals, etc). I also like the scripture cards, roll-ease activity kit for the little ones, the t-shirt, coloring book, . . . I could go on and on.

    reply to this comment

  116. What an awesome giveaway! So many prizes that I’m excited about…who can choose a favorite?! I am excited about the Scripture print and the coloring book…and the Lila Rose products…and really, just about everything else 🙂

    reply to this comment

  140. I’m loving exploring new blogs this week. Thanks for teaming up with everyone else. I have not yet jumped on the adult coloring bandwagon… but Paige’s books are BEAUTIFUL! What a neat way to meditate on Scripture AND relax! Thanks for sharing this and all your other favorite things.

    reply to this comment

  141. What I love about this giveaway is the variety of products you are giving away. There is something for everyone in the family here. Thank you for such a wonderful giveaway. God bless.
