When I find stuff I like, I love to share it with my friends so I thought I would share some of my favorite things with you here on the blog. I'm sure this will be the first of many because I had so much fun doing this post and can think of so many more things that I'd like to add. Hope you enjoy!

She Reads Truth

I LOVE She Reads Truth! My sister told me about it almost a year ago and I've been hooked ever since. She Reads Truth is a daily devotional resource for women to read God's word, study it, and apply it to your daily life. They have different writers who are so gifted in studying scripture and relating it to the hearts of women. They have recently done a study on Ruth, The Sermon on the Mount, Justice, and now they are going through Hebrews. The devotions are fairly short and the content is FREE! There is also a great app that you can download on your phone to access it easily wherever you go. Each study through the app is $0.99 each, but if you don't want to use the app, you can always just go to shereadstruth.com

She Reads Truth coffee mug

She Reads Truth also has a shop where you can buy beautiful prints, study resources, decals, shirts (so comfy!), and mugs! I am slightly obsessed with this mug. It's a good size, sturdy, and perfect for coffee, tea, or your favorite soup!

Noah saying "Bubbles"

My son Noah "talks" constantly. From the moment he wakes up, until he falls asleep he is talking...you just can't understand most of it. He knows what he is saying and is very expressive. He uses his hands a lot too when he talks, which he definitely gets from his Grandma Kyle. He can say some things we understand like daddy, mama, ball, go, ouch, yay, and yum, but most of the time he speaks in "Noah language". However, last weekend, when I was visiting my sister, he was playing and watching a video while we were putting on make-up and getting ready for the day. All of a sudden he looked at the TV and said "bubbles" as plain as day. There were bubbles on the TV and he knew exactly what they were! So I rewinded the DVD a bit to see if he would do it again, and got a video of it. So Cute!

Johnnyswim's "Live While We're Young"

Please go download this song off iTunes right now! Better yet, download the whole album Diamonds! It's excellent! Johnnyswim is a married duo made up of Amanda Sudano and Abner Ramirez. Amanda used to sing backup for her mother, Donna Summer, and is a beautiful singer in her own right. This song is constantly on repeat these days. Trust me. You won't be disappointed.

Noonday Collection: Annie's Feathered Earrings

If you've seen me at all in the last 6 months, I've most likely been wearing these earrings. They are part of Noonday collection and if you've never heard of Noonday, you should definitely check them out. They make jewelry, handbags, and other accessories and everything is beautiful and very well made. More than their products, I love their mission!

"Noonday Collection's mission is to create economic opportunity for the vulnerable. We partner with artisans in the developing world, empowering them to grow sustainable businesses. By creating a marketplace for their goods, we create dignified jobs at living wages. This allows our artisans to earn more in order to support their families."

So when you buy a gorgeous necklace or scarf, you are helping a family or single mother use the gifts they have been given and earn a respectable income to provide food, shelter, clothes, and education for her children. There is also opportunities for you to earn an income as well. They make great gifts!!! (Hint, hint Erik Fowler.) I've got my eyes on these earrings next. :)

Party Party App

I recently discovered this app from a blog I follow and have been using it to capture fun moments ever since! It's like having your own Photo Booth with you wherever you go! You can capture 4, 9, or 16 images at a time and can also add some cool effects. You can save your pics together as one image or can turn it into a looping animation. Love it! Noah makes a pretty good model and has given me plenty of opportunities to use this app.

Well, I'm off to run errands and play at the park with my son. Have a great weekend!

Love Always,

Cara
