Trace those precious baby hands in your bible.
Reminding you of thus tough season where you learned on the Lord.
Reminding you of your little blessing and all you have to be thankful for.

Here are the three scriptures I traced my girls hands in:

Deuteronomy 6:4-8
Matthew 28:19-20
Ephesians 3:20

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. Deuteronomy 6:4-8

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. Ephesians 3:20

Leaning heavily on this scripture right now.

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭

Here is an ESSENTIAL swap for summer: SUNSCREEN!

Here is an ESSENTIAL swap for summer: SUNSCREEN!

My go to pick is @rowe_casa_organics
WHY?
Their sunshield not only has vitamin c which acts as a barrier in the water, but it is a natural mineral base from the sun. It is made with non-nano zinc oxide aand non-nano titanium dioxide, these work together as a broad-spectrum blocker, protecting from UVA, UVB, and even UVC rays! There is even a tinted version!

If you are looking at your current sunscreens, here are some ingredients you may want to avoid:
- Octocrylene
- Avobenzone
- Octinoxate
- Oxybenzone
- Nano Zinc Oxide
- Fragrance
- Parabens
- Artificial Colors
- OD-PABA
- 4 Methylbenzlidene

Many of these ingredients are carcinogenic, endocrine disrupters and MORE!!!

Want to grab some sunshield? Use code BYOK20 for a discount and the link below:
