Dare to Design
Posted by Hallie Lord in Family on Friday, August 20, 2010
Hi girls!
Do we have any fledgling designers out there? A little birdie just told me that Shabby Apple is currently hosting their second annual Dare to Design Contest!
Care to give it a go? Here are the details in a nutshell:
Simply design a dress and post an image of it to your personal blog with a link back to Shabby Apple by October 15th, 2010. The Top 15 entries will then be posted to the Shabby... READ MORE
Nursing Wear To Fit Your Needs, Style and Budget
Posted by Hallie Lord 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

Putting My Foot Down
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Just me on Friday, August 06, 2010
The September issue of Family Circle includes a full page photograph of a model’s foot sporting a delicate strappy stiletto sandal and a heavy woolen sock.
Not in the “fashion don’t” section, mind you, but under the headline “trendspotting.”
Googling, I find this dubious trend has been on runways for a year or more.
Ladies, I am not a fashion maven. I try not to look utterly out of step with the times, but as I have neither the temperament nor the budget nor the figure to make shopping fun, I’m content with a style (if something so haphazard can rise to the level of a “style”) I might call “presentable middle-aged mom.”
(Or perhaps “last year.”)
I give fashion lectures to no one, largely so I’ll be subjected to none.
But a girl has to draw the line. Please, I’m begging you, no.
Juicy Bites From Shabby Apple
Posted by Hallie Lord in Family on Friday, July 30, 2010
Oh my goodness! Just when I thought I couldn’t love Shabby Apple any more they’ve gone and proved me wrong once again. They’ve designed a line of aprons! Oh, yes they have! (You remember what a sucker I am for aprons, don’t you?)
Not only have they created some of the cutest aprons my eyes have ever beheld, but they named their line Boysenberry Pie! How adorable is that? They’ve assured us that their... READ MORE
Strolling in Style

Did you see this great picture of the Holy Father sporting a baseball cap while taking a walk around his gardens?
I love that it matches his white cassock, and it’s so practical! I know I always like to wear sunglasses or a hat when I’m outdoors in the sun - it’s much easier on the eyes that way.
Here has a couple more photos of the Pope in his cap, if you want to see them.
Pretty & Comfy Without the Peekaboo
Posted by Hallie Lord 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
Sleepwear Options for Nursing Moms
Posted by Hallie Lord in Reviews on Friday, June 04, 2010
Hey ladies,
I’m hoping you can help me out today. I need to buy new nursing pajamas before the wee one arrives in September. There are so many lovely options available but I’ve found it can be hard to choose nursing pajamas from a picture alone (and unfortunately, there aren’t many options available in the stores in my area).
Here is what I’m hoping to find:
—pajamas that are modest enough to be... READ MORE
Find a Fit That Flatters
Posted by Hallie Lord in Reviews on Friday, May 28, 2010
I imagine we’ve all faced the challenge at some point of finding clothes that successfully meet the needs of both our unique senses of style as well as our personal standards of modesty. Department stores have long been chock full of barely-there pieces while magazines try to convince us that confident women aren’t afraid to show a whole lot of skin.
Despite these attempts by the powers-that-be,... READ MORE
Arriving in Your Mailbox
Posted by Robyn Lee in Family on Sunday, May 23, 2010
The Summer 2010 issues of Faith & Family magazine recently arrived in our offices. Opening the boxes of magazines always causes such a commotion. Everyone wants to have their own copy and browse through the gorgeous pages.
Even though I have read every page in the magazine already, I get excited to see the finished product. We edit pages with black and white copies, so it is always exciting to see... READ MORE
