AND Graham Gardens posted a special code (“Sale30”) in honor of We are THAT Family readers on our homepage for 30% off all our products!

 

 

I wish I had a scratch n sniff screen, so y’all could smell what I’m smelling right now.

It’s my husband’s neck.

Unexpected, no?

We’ve been using new soap. Now, it’s not just any soap, it’s homemade chunky wholesome bar soap with names like Avocado and Oatmeal, Lavender and Coconut Milk, and Peppermint Cream that are smooth on the skin and smell as good as they sound.

I love soap. I’m not a perfume girl and don’t like heavy colognes. There’s just something about smelling the hint of soap on my kids and hubby that feels like home.  And also, I like clean people.

I’m a big fan of Graham Gardens. They sent an awesome variety of soap samples for my family to try out. We loved the variety of scents and how long each bar lasted. They also just look so much better than store bought soap!

One of my favorite, favorite items at Graham Gardens is the (also one of their best sellers) Lotion Bar. I love this little tin because it’s in solid form. It’s not messy and it’s perfect for my purse.

There are so many uses: dry skin, chapped lips, hands, feet, cracked fingers, etc! My oldest daughter confiscated a jar and even my hubby uses it.

We’re hooked. We also smell really good.

I’m happy to say that Graham Gardens is giving away this lovely basket of goodies:

    Lavender and coconut milk soap and Silver alpine soap both sound wonderful. My usband could use some grease monkey soap as well.

    With the approach of winter and dry lips, I’d have to say the Peppermint Candy Lip Balm. Sounds wonderful!

    I’m obsessed with lip balm, so I’ll have one of each of those! 😉

    I’d love to try the lavendar body oil. It seems like something that would be good to use on baby as part of a bedtime massage (and I would probably get it under the guise of being “for the baby” but if I’m honest, it’ll end up being for ME!!!)

    How I LOVE natural soaps! I would love to try the baby bird line as in two days I will have my third little bundle of joy. I would also really like to try one of the Salves. Unfortunately it will have to be another c-section and I would love to try the Salve to help with the healing of the incision. Thanks for sharing and for the great chance to win!

    Grease Monkey. As I type my manly husband is working on his 1977 diesel Mercedes that is currently apart in our garage. He had so much oil on his clothes that when he washed them last night it left an oil residue all over the washer. sigh. He had to use my hand and face exfoliate to be work presentable today as we are in desperate need of a grease monkey soap. 🙂

I've never commented before but am so encouraged by Mercy House and the love you have for those girls! me too! Also the purity talk/weekend you did with your daughter is so inspiring! Praise God!

    I would like to try their soaps- I’m not a fan of perfume either, but sure do like good smelling people!

    I’m sure the “grease monkey” would get frequent use at our house 🙂
