Better Life Bag (Brynnda Black and White Stripe) – $207 value

Cross body bags are SO HOT RIGHT NOW. And this 100% genuine leather, handmade bag from Better Life Bags is no exception (I want one of these SO MUCH!!!). But the thing I love most about Better Life Bags is their mission. Owner, Rebecca Smith, needed help with her growing company, so she turned to the women in a local, impoverished community for help. By providing these women with work and a steady income, Rebecca watched them experience a shift in their attitude and economic status as they began providing for their families like never before. Each bag you purchase arrives with details about the woman who hand cut and hand sewed the bag with love and careful skill – the woman whose life is made better because of your purchase. What a Cinderella story and one that I support 100%.

You can find out more about Better Life Bags (and even design your own) by clicking HERE! Get 10% off your first order by simply subscribing to Better Life Bags’ newsletter! Also make sure to follow Better Life Bags on Facebook and Instagram.

Stevie the Sea Turtle – $21.99 value

I am completely in love with The Wee Believers Toy Company and their line of Lil’ Prayer Buddies! These irresistible, huggable animal friends recite precious songs and prayers with the push of a button. Your kids can snuggle up with Stevie and hear him recite 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. What a fun way to get God’s Word into their hearts! Check out the entire line of interactive, inspirational stuffed animals HERE.

M Is for Manger by Crystal Bowman – $8 value

I have used so many of Crystal Bowman’s books in my preschool classroom. They are all so simple, cute, and Christ-centered.

This book tells the entire story of Jesus’ birth – ABC style. The illustrations are adorable and the rhyming message communicates the Gospel powerfully to the littlest of hearts.
