The videos are fun and the songs are catchy which makes them fun while teaching a godly message!

Renee Trudeau & Associates - Nurturing, supportive, and empowering, this year-long guide featuring monthly themes, inspirational stories, and soul-searching exercises, focuses on enhancing balance and emotional well-being in mothers’ lives. Recognizing that they are more than their “to do” lists, the Guide gives mothers permission to care for and nurture themselves and reconnect with who they are. Soothing the body, mind, and soul like a cup of hot tea, and providing a mini retreat away from the hectic stress of day-to-day parenting, this guide invites women to take control of their lives—to learn about the power of self-care and how it can be their best friend, to manage and increase their energy, to adopt a “good is good enough” approach, and to become more comfortable saying no.

I LOVE the personalized apron we received for my girls. It is the perfect addition to the new kiddie kitchen Santa is bringing them this year. ~Angie

Menza Designs - I’ve always enjoyed putting my creativity to work. To have a beautiful vision, then turn that vision into a tangible wearable work of art is so rewarding. I love working with my hands and found that designing and crafting jewelry is my true art and passion. Beautiful colors inspire me in so many ways. The colors of nature have so much depth and variation, offering limitless possibilities . . . wonderful autumn leaves of crimson and gold, crystal clear snow, the cool ocean waves and the amazing rainbow of garden flowers. I am proud of the fact that the jewelry I make is high quality; that each piece is handcrafted and carefully reviewed. It’s a wonderful feeling to know that women can wear my jewelry and feel happy about what they’re wearing! With every purchase, Menza Designs will include a free gift PLUS delivery confirmation e-mailed to you for the holidays! Just write “Mamas Like” in the comment section at the end of the purchase!
We both received a beautiful pair of earrings made just for us. They are simple, yet elegant enough to dress up any outfit. ~Angie

Caren Online - Creating a company to educate and help others in their quest for pure skin care products was the natural step for us. We searched the globe for the most effective, organic and natural skin care products available. The products we sell are truly wonderful, natural products. They have a shelf life because they aren’t filled with harmful chemicals that preserve them for years. Best of all, by using natural products we are sending a message to manufacturers of harmful chemicals that says we’ve had enough.10% off with discount code MAMA10.

Baby in Back - The signs are whimsical two-sided frames, which attach easily to a car’s dashboard with the included hardware. They eliminate the “out of sight, out of mind” phenomenon that oftentimes strikes adults in today’s hectic world. Parents and caregivers simply turn the sign to the reminder side when the child is in the back seat and flip to the photo frame after drop off. Even if a parent feels that he/she would never forget a child, the photo frame side is a cute way to keep your child’s photo in your car, similar to keeping a photo on a desk at work. At $4.95, the signs make great gifts for grandparents, shower presents, and new baby presents.
