My Favorite Things

🕯 Resistance Candles

I love these so much! Hand-poured in America by a family-owned business with values that match my own: faith, family, and freedom. These candles make great gifts, especially with America 250 right around the corner! Show off your love of liberty with a candle!

Red Land Cotton Sheets

These are pricey, but they’re made in America with cotton grown in America and they arrive in a beautiful box. Plus… they’re amazingly comfortable!

Charlie’s Soap

Really love this! I ordered for the convenience of traveling with little laundry soap packets. Not only is it convenient, but it works great! I was impressed from the very first load I did. One packet per wash. Easy!

Two packages of soap power called Charlie's Soaps that are green and white is just one of Jessica's Favorite Things.


Cork Globe with Push Pins

I love this as a gift for world travelers. Just stick the pins in after a trip. It makes a great conversation piece and a great memory piece!

Globe that is brown with push pins is one of Jessica's Favorite Things for gift-giving or memory making.


Liberty and Destiny: Celebrate America 250

The spark from a single candle can light a sacred flame.
Patriot? Or Traitor? That is the question that Colonel Morgan must answer when Sophia Adair becomes his prisoner. If he releases her, will she disregard her pledge and harm the Patriot cause?

Or become his secret weapon?
