Ice pack
A few months back, one of my boys fell down and scraped his knees. While I was tending to him and kissing his boo boos, he asked if that was something that his Mother Mary could do, too? I told him absolutely and gave him kisses on Mary’s behalf, but I couldn’t stop thinking about his sweet request, and that is the story about how the Mama Mary ice packs were born. It has now become the first thing the kids ask for when they get an ouchie. They’re filled with gel and glycerin, and measure 7.5 inches by 4 inches.

Swaddling blanket
Soft and flowy bamboo/cotton muslin swaddle will wrap your precious babe in Mary’s Mantle. What does it mean to be wrapped in Mary’s Mantle? Jesus gave us the gift of His mother as He was dying on the cross when He said, “Behold, your mother.” Mary, as our spiritual mother, looks after us in a special, intimate way. As a mother comforts her baby, Mary gently comforts us.
