If you order from Amazon, all commissions go toward foster care through Grace and Hope (who sponsored my son's foster care in China...making a HUGE difference in his life!!!) at no additional cost to you. THANK YOU!
Tune in! (and feel free to submit ideas by emailing love 2 learn 2 day @ gmail dot com)Question in Comments: What if I want something from Amazon that is NOT on the list?
Answer: If you click on any of the links below or enter through the Amazon link on the right side of my home page, everything you do is credited toward Grace and Hope even if you don't order what I recommend. As long as you enter through this site, everything you do in that transaction is covered. All toward Grace and Hope! I'm hoping to earn them enough to put one additional child in foster care for one year!

What a wonderful list! Awesome about Amazon, however I have a question, if I buy something not on that list is there a way for Grace & Hope to get honored? Thanks!
