Ø Homeschooling is probably a big part of your day, so we’ve got some goodies to help here as well. You’ll get a $10 gift card from www.sonbeams.com (we suggest that you consider her ABC Bible Memory Verse CD) and an e-Book version of Raising Real Men from www.raisingrealmen.com . We’ve also tucked in a package of gorgeous (trust us!) paper clips that will bring a smile every time you use them. Ø We’re guessing that by mid-afternoon you might be ready for a bit of a break. Now is the time to pull out your pretty new mug stuffed with gourmet flavored hot chocolate mixes and biscotti’s – yum!
Ø
Once the day is over, we want you
to climb into bed and relax. Pop one of the two enclosed Yankee Candle
votive candles into your new crackle-glass votive holder and light it
to set a relaxing mood. Kate has made you a reusable hot pad filled with
rice and lavender – it’s lovely draped around your shoulders to ease tired
muscles or tucked between the sheets to warm cold feet. Grab the Dove
chocolates if you need to nibble and enjoy reading the book you bought with
your $10 Barnes and Noble gift card! Sweet dreams! Don’t miss out on the chance to bless the Estes family while obtaining this amazing Thank You Resource Package AND being entered to win one of the prize packages!
