Modesty ... Through the Eyes of a 19-Year-Old Guy
Posted by Lynn Wehner in Faith on Thursday, November 11, 2010
Unless we’re sleepwalking through life, we can’t miss the dire situation our world is in with regards to women’s modesty.
I’ll never forget my husband’s face and demeanor when he returned from dropping off our daughter at high school one day several years ago. He was pale. And he was almost speechless.
“It wasn’t only the half-dressed girls that shocked me. What on earth is going on in the heads... READ MORE
Nursing Wear To Fit Your Needs, Style and Budget
Posted by AGroup in Reviews on Friday, August 13, 2010
Am I the only one who is less-than-satisfied with the current selection of nursing-wear fashions available? Don’t get me wrong; I do occasionally stumble upon a piece or two that are pretty cute but, all in all, the options out there leave a little something to be desired, don’t you think?
Maybe I’m crazy, not looking hard enough, or not looking in the right places, but from what I can tell most... READ MORE
More Modest
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Tuesday, July 27, 2010
Thanks for all the great discussion and food for thought from yesterday’s post on modesty.
Point No. 4 is getting a lot of attention and I think it deserves its own conversation, or at least a clarification.
Yesterday I wrote that “4. Having these standards, while good and important, are between a person and her conscience. It is not our duty to go around telling everyone else how to dress.”
To clarify:... READ MORE
Modesty
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Monday, July 26, 2010
I read with great interest the comments from Hallie Lord’s recent post on a fabulous fashion find. And I went away thinking, “variety is the spice of life!”
Modesty is certainly an important topic to discuss and ponder, but it is tricky because it’s also a very subjective topic. I realize no one wants to hear that—shouldn’t we all be able to clearly articulate what is immodest? If we all have a deep... READ MORE
Pretty & Comfy Without the Peekaboo
Posted by AGroup in Reviews on Friday, June 18, 2010
Girls, please (oh, please) tell me I am not the only one who has flashed perfect strangers while tending to my baby. I ask you: Is there anything more mortifying?
You try to be a good Catholic girl, you watch those necklines and hemlines, but then the baby goes and tugs a little too exuberantly at your top and poof!, in the blink of an eye, there you are waving goodbye to your dignity.
If you’re lucky... READ MORE
Different Shades of Modesty
Posted by AGroup in Reviews on Friday, March 05, 2010
One of the things I find most interesting about the subject of modesty is the wide variety of ways in which individuals interpret it.
Unlike some aspects of our faith, God hasn’t given us a strict or specific list of rules to apply to our wardrobe, which leaves a lot up to personal discretion.
It’s been such a pleasure for me over these last few months to hear your modesty-related thoughts and opinions.... READ MORE
Heidi Montag 'Blessed' By Life-Threatening Plastic Surgery
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Thursday, January 28, 2010
I don’t know where to begin with this.
First of all, there is Heidi Montag—a “celebrity” whose name I am vaguely familiar with, but I can’t really say if she’s an actress, a model, a singer, a ... what?
A quick Google search turns up the fact that she’s a regular on talk shows, has appeared in a “celebrity” reality TV show, and was a regular, playing herself, on The Hills. I think that’s a fake reality... READ MORE

More Skirts, More Comments
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Saturday, January 09, 2010
UPDATE: I think we’ve said all we should on this topic at this point. I’ve closed comments on this post.
I am thrilled that so many of you have answered Hallie’s call for a civil discussion of the pros and cons of women wearing pants versus skirts.
When a post here receives so many comments, the comments form paginates which can make it difficult for people to follow the discussion and reply to specific comments.
We know this is a problem and will continue to work toward a resolution, but in the meantime, please feel free to continue the discussion here, in a fresh new combox.
