147 Million!

The other day on facebook, I saw that 147 Million Orphans had some new products, so I decided to go take a look. I just admire this ministry so much, because it is run by two moms who wanted to make a difference for the Lord, and what a difference they are making!

When I saw this necklace, I knew I had to have one. I know my favorite color since I've been in the blog world has been hot pink, but my all-time favorite color has always been red! I love red and I'm going back to it, I think. :) These necklaces are so amazing! They are made by women in Uganda, from magazines, and this helps them support their families! I absolutely love the idea that buying this directly helps these women! Love, love that!!

And when I saw this water tumbler, I knew it would be perfect for me, since I've been drinking so much more water now that I'm expecting. I love it! It helps build water wells.
I just love buying things that make a difference. I was thinking the other day that since the baby will be arriving in November, I should probably start Christmas shopping this summer so that I don't have the stress of that and a newborn all at the same time. I haven't been buying much since I don't have my own spending money from my business like I had before, and I don't know when our house is going to sell, but it felt great to buy a few things for a great cause again. I am going to try my best to support the fundraisers and things like that, that everyone has going on, for my Christmas shopping.

Early Christmas shopping sounds like a great idea. You'll be so busy with your new little one during that time!
