Week Thirty-One

June 29, 2015 by Aliesha

Whooo hooo! Only 10-11ish weeks until we get to meet Baby Apricot!

I’ve been feeling really great and I have a good bit of energy. I started taking an iron supplement… maybe that’s helping?

I definitely feel hot almost all the time, but to be fair, we have had a bit of a heat wave here! I’m so thankful for air conditioning and fans!

I’ve started making my “buy before baby” (you’d think I’d have everything by now, right? ha!) and “to do before baby” lists. I’m also planning on doing some major freezer cooking this week. I’m starting to really think about getting everything in order for when Apricot comes, but that time still feels like a long way off.

Incredibly thankful for a healthy pregnancy and for Baby A’s strong heartbeat in the 140’s!

Connectedness

June 26, 2015 by Aliesha

Have you ever had this thought?

Other women are more connected than I am.

Or variations on the above:

Other women have more friends than I do. Other women aren’t lonely the way I am. Other women have closer, more meaningful relationships than I do.

I am finding, the more women I meet, that women everywhere long to have deeper friendships with other like-minded women, and to be challenged by them in their roles and wives, moms, and Christian women.

It’s really easy to sit at home waiting for an invitation to get together with someone, while the truth is many women are longing to form relationships with other women in their churches and communities. Someone has to make the first move!

We tend to think that other women are busier than we are and have more thriving social lives. Or we’re too caught up in our own busyness to realize that there’s a woman at our own church who is longing to get connected.

So whether you are feeling lonely or have lots of friendships with other women, make a call this weekend. Invite another woman to a play date, a Bible study, or out to coffee. Plan a girls’ night out. Welcome the new family at church over for dinner. Send an encouraging card or email.

Stop waiting for the phone to ring (or vibrate… mine is always on vibrate!). Get connected today and start reaping the benefits of friendships with other women.

This sale is now over!

I often have friends and family members tell me all the time, “Your camera takes such good pictures!” Yes, this is true, but I know for a fact that their camera could too if they learned how to use it well! I have lots of friends who own DSLR cameras yet have just scratched the surface in their ability to use it to take awesome photos.

Perhaps this is you too! You have a good camera, you have lovely subject matter you wish to capture, yet you constantly find yourself disappointed with the images you capture. Blurry, washed out, too dark, etc.

If you can relate, I have good news for you! My friends Ryan and Steph at Ultimate Bundles have put together an incredible product to help with your photography woes. It’s called The Ultimate Digital Photography Bundle (Beginner’s Edition), and it contains a curated collection of ebooks and video training guides to help you become a better photographer.

All the resources have been provided by professional, world-renowned photographers who are experts in teaching others – even complete beginners. You won’t need to switch up to a more expensive camera to make full use of the bundle (even if you just use your iPhone for photographs), and you don’t need to neglect your family for weeks upon weeks of training! You can learn everything in little chunks – whenever you have a spare moment.

Click here to see the full range of ebooks and training courses included in The Ultimate Photography Bundle (Beginner’s Edition).

There’s even better news! Everything in the bundle has a combined total value of $555, but for this week only, The Ultimate Bundles Team is selling the entire bundle for just $37 – a discount of more than 90%! What’s more, they’re also throwing in a FREE copy of FX Photo Studio Pro software from MacPhun (which provides stunning filters and photography effects) worth $29.99!

No blurriness, no exposure nightmares, no bad angles. Just perfect, happy memories!

Oh, and if you happen to be beyond the beginner level, there are two other bundles available as well … intermediate (if you know the basics and you’re ready for the next level) and business (if you’re currently a pro photographer or hoping to start a business soon). They are awesome as well (and include tons of sweet bonuses)!!
