I don’t receive many items that aren’t books to review so when this opportunity from Saddleback Leather came around I had to do it, especially since I needed a new purse. Long gone are the days of hauling a large bag to keep all the things kids needed so I typically carry a medium to small bag to keep my essentials.
When I saw the Mini Bucket Bag on the website I fell in love! I loved the color and the adjustable strap (since I wear my purse crossbody style). I was a little wary on the size, I mean I don’t carry a lot of stuff but I need to carry these items so I was so ecstatic when everything fit! I love that it’s real leather and I know will last me a very long time, so definitely worth the money since it’s a great quality product. The only thing I would add is a magnetic closure . It does have the cinch but I’m wondering how that will hold up in the coming years.
The website was super friendly to use and their story on how it all began is a great read so go check that out. I also love that this company has a wonderful ministry called Love 41 based out of the Bible Verse Psalm 41:1-3. They support different organizations helping children who are orphaned and single moms in impoverished countries.
If you are looking for a great gift that will last a while and have the budget to do so I suggest checking out this company!
Thank you @saddlebackbags for the purse to review! Needless to say I’m in love with it! All views expressed are my own!

My Thoughts
Who does subscription boxes for their kiddos? We’ll have I got good news for you! Check out the Kids Faith Krate.
When I was sent this for review I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I mean I’ve seen other types of subscription boxes but never one that helps parents disciple their children into God’s faith. The best way I can describe it is like having VBS in a box all ready for you with everything laid out so you can just do it! Everything is included. Lessons + crafts = timesaver!!!
As you scroll through the photos you’ll see there’s an:
✅ Overview for Parents
✅ 4 Weekly Bible Lessons
✅ 4 crafts to go along with the lessons
📦 Boxes are delivered at the beginning of the month so that you have all 4 weeks to walk through the material!
Have multiple kids? No problem! They have subscription boxes for up to 3 kids! And this is for ages 4-10.
We are planning to use our June box for our Bible Time during the summer since we take a lighter workload for the summertime! But this would be an awesome tool for Bible time during homeschool time!
Want to grab one?! Go to the link on my bio and use code “campinabox” to save $10 off your subscription! Let’s keep the kids busy, have fun and strengthen their faith in the process this year!!

I love that it has both a calendar and a vertical layout where I can write my Bible Verses. The last page of the month has a Praise Report page to reflect on the month! And I really liked that the beginning of each season has a prayer and a reflection on what you are looking forward of God doing!
If you are a planner fan then I recommend you grabbing this one! I can’t wait to start this one!
Thank you @horacioprinting for the copy of this beautiful planner for review!
A Gilded LadyPublisher: Bethany House
Hope and Glory Series
Genre: Christian Historical Fiction
Summary: Secretary to the first lady of the United States, Caroline Delacroix is at the pinnacle of high society--but is hiding a terrible secret. Immediately suspicious of Caroline, but also attracted to her, secret service agent Nathaniel Trask must battle his growing love for her as the threat to the president rises and they face adventure, heartbreak, and danger.
My Review:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
| The Gilded Lady is the second book in the Hope and Glory series. I have not read the first book yet (insert gasp, as I hardly ever read books out of order) but I was super excited to receive a copy of this book. I actually did not feel like I was missing important information because I did not read the first one. So if you happen to pick this one up you should be okay. That being said I will be reading the first in the series before the third one comes out because that's just how I roll! The Hope and Glory series follows siblings Gray, Luke and Caroline Delacroix. The Gilded Lady is mainly about Caroline but it does have her siblings as well and it definitely ends perfectly to introduce Luke's story which will be the last in the series. This book is set in the time of President McKinley and the beginnings of the Secret Service revamping itself to provide more protection not only to the president but for his family. In this story Caroline Delacroix has matured into a no-nonsense, go-getter. She is the First Lady, Ida McKinley's secretary, right hand woman, confidant and friend. And this is very evident in all the responsibilities she holds in her job. You can tell that she is definitely more than just a secretary. We meet straight laced, rule follower Nathaniel Trask who is the new head of the Secret Service. He has a tragic past that he carries with him and it is the main reason why he's so determined not to fail at anything he does. Being in close quarters at the White House he can't help but notice Caroline and fights his attraction to her to no avail. I loved the "slow burning" relationship they have going. Camden definitely lets you go through the ups and downs of it and it was lovely. It definitely gets you to be invested in their relationship and you feel as if you know them personally. One of my favorite lines from their conversations (and there were a few) " ...I've learned a few things over the past month. Life is short. We can't know what it holds in store for us, but I won't ever take you for granted again." Gah!! Insert heart eyes!! This is so romantic and so true!! While the whole romantic plot is going we also encounter Luke, Caroline's beloved twin brother who is in jail in Cuba for treason! What an awesome twist in the story. Loved how this brought some intrigue, mystery and suspense to the story. The way it develops and unfolds is great and I will not delve into it because you need to enjoy it like I did! But it was great! It also gives the perfect continuation for Luke's own story which will be in the next book! I for one cannot wait to learn more about him and see what happens! I have found very few authors that write historical fiction that I absolutely love and Elizabeth Camden is always at the top of my list when it comes to this genre. You can tell that she does her research well and I appreciate that about her. If you enjoy historical fiction then this is definitely the book to pick up! I for one cannot wait until her next book! This Gilded Lady will be released on June 2nd and can be pre-ordered on Amazon. About the Author: Elizabeth Camden is best known for her historical novels set in gilded age America featuring clever heroines and richly layered storylines. Before she was a writer, she was an academic librarian at some of the largest and smallest libraries in America, but her favorite is the continually growing library in her own home. Her novels have won the RITA and Christy Award, and she lives in Florida with her husband who graciously tolerates her intimidating stockpile of books. |
