7 Quick Takes Friday

-


Exciting News! From now until January 1, 2014, The Goat Milk Soap Shop will be donating the proceeds of all of our sales to the St. Gianna Molla Shrine fund in Yorkville, IL. Our parish is building this national shrine and we want to help. Won't you join us in helping to build this peaceful place of pilgrimage. For more information on the Shrine, go here. 

 Also, take some time to explore our website. Not only will you find the best soap you've ever tried (or smelled), you'll also learn all about the benefits of homemade natural soap.

Say good-bye to dry skin and sticky soaps and hello to great-smelling, moisturizing, all-natural handmade soaps!
As I am sure you have heard me mention in last weeks 7 Quick Takes and in my post on Sunday, I am working on a blanket. The first section is finished and looks very nice and I am working on the second section. Once the second section is finished and they are sewn together I will take a picture of the finished project and share it here :)

Jumping back up to #2 and the topic of soap my mother, sisters and I are still selling soap. And as of right now we are selling Christmas-y smelling soaps and then donating it to the shrine, as mentioned above. Since there is still time to order soap and donate to the Shrine you can hop over to the website and check it out :)
I am pretty much done with all of my Christmas shopping now it all needs to get wrapped before next week. Even though it would be nice to sit in front of a fire with a mug of hot chocolate and wrapping presents while listening to Christmas music, I know it's not going to happen since there are a lot of us. 


I had this craft idea stored on Pinterest and decided to share it here :) The craft is How to make a TARDIS land in your home! Though I haven't had the chance to make it yet I want to try making it :)

The Other Side of Modesty

When we hear the word modesty, the first thing that comes to mind is clothing that covers everything or the majority of your body. 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...

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...
