7 Quick Takes Friday

-
On the 9th I started the photography class that I mentioned before. It felt a bit overwhelming but I think I'll manage it :) The book we are using for the class is "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson (the 3rd edition). Each week we go through a different section/chapter of the book. This week was "Defining Exposure." I will try to keep you up dated each week :)
This is what the weather where I live has been like all week. Though I am glad that it got cooler today :)


Just recently two friends of ours came out with a cook book. Here is the name of the book:

"The Twins' Guide to Gluten-Free Baking: 25 Quick and Easy Recipes for Busy Bakers" [Kindle Edition].

If you are interested in getting it you can follow this link. You can also read the reviews that people have written about it :) They are also on Facebook so you can look them up at "The Twins' Guide" and like their page :) Before I forget they have a blog for their cookbook as well and you can find the link for that here.
This past Saturday was my mom's birthday. Since Pope Francis had asked for a day of prayer and fasting on the 7th we had to celebrate my mom's birthday on Sunday as well, though we just had the cake and sang to my mom on Sunday. We gave her a Despicable Me t-shirt as well as Despicable Me and we watched it Sunday night :)

I am planning on doing this in November because of the 50th anniversary!
the last three pictures were found on Tumblr and Pinterest

Dressing modestly is something I have grown up with and have been around my entire life. And it can be considered a "hot topic" regarding what girls and women wear. Especially when it comes to places like schools and the workplace. But most people don't realize that modesty isn't just about what you wear; it is also about how you act around others and toward yourself.  Photo by Amanda Canas on Unsplash I am talking about this because I read an article on my Facebook feed the other day about a father who posted a picture with his two daughters in their homecoming dresses. And it was talking about his response to the people commenting on the style of the dresses. I don't remember the article's name, but I do know that it mentioned "girls to dress, so they don't distract boys," as well as saying that they are "aski...

--- 1 --- The other day I was feeling a bit bored so I made a couple covers for the story that I started working on. --- 2 --- A couple of weeks ago I was looking up pictures of the minons from "Despicable Me", don't remember why, but while I was scrolling down the page I came across this minion picture: --- 3 --- I found this on Pinterest a while back... --- 4 --- On Sunday we had to shovel snow off the driveway. It was really cold out and it made my stomach kind of hurt a little bit afterwards. The only bright side, besides being able to come inside and warm up, was getting hot chocolate. --- 5 --- Since I couldn't think of anything else to write for this one I decided to share the first couple sentences of what I have written so far of my story let me know how you like it :) Standing under the only low-lit street lamp Xiomara looked both ways at the quiet street lit only by the light of the street lamps. Sighing to herself...
