Some of you know about Noah Estes, the sweet little almost-three-year old with a mito disease.  He has been in and out of the hospital a lot lately, and is there now, waiting to go home (unless his fever spikes again).

I've had his picture on my sidebar and we lost it when we had our last blog catastrophe.  I need to get that back up!  Anyway, if you want to subscribe to their blog where they update so you can pray, click here:  Noah's Blog.

Jeff and Kate, Noah's parents, have a business called Hands and Hearts. They used to make really neat history kits, but with the new CPSIA laws (which are about as clear as mud!), they've had to discontinue them until there are further clarifications (in case you didn't know, the fine is a stiff $100,000 per incident if not per item not in compliance--you are responsible to test every batch of stuff no matter if the stuff all came pre-tested.  It's a bureaucratic nightmare!).  

Although they can't sell their history kits, they do have a lot of neat things to offer.  And there may be others selling the same things, but if it's something you're looking for for your homeschooling, would you consider helping this family by doing business with them?  

They are having 20% off everything sale, which is just for their newsletter subscribers, but you can go to Hands and Hearts and sign up, and it will be delivered quickly to your inbox so you can have the sale code.  The sale ends Friday.

I'm heading over there now to see what I might want!    And please share this with all your friends via e-mail, blogs, message forums, etc.  She has given everyone permission!  You can read about it here:  Spinning Our Wheels.

Thank you so much for helping this family!  And please DO pray for Noah Estes!

Editing to add that the link didn't work earlier for Hands and Hearts--I have it fixed now!
