Jeff Young

Jeff Young
Everyone is entitled to at least one good idea, right? Well, Jeff Young had his in October 2008 when he was struck dumb by the Catholic Foodie concept. It was a Reese's moment for him. Two great "tastes" that "taste" great together. Food and faith! Jeff produces the Catholic Foodie internet …

Mad for Plaid

From pants to pumps, I'm smitten!

What do you think of plaid? Is it a fashion do or don’t?

I happen to love plaid (especially in the cooler months), but I always wonder if those of you who went to Catholic school (or are married to lumberjacks) have had about all the plaid you can take. That’s okay—I can respect that—but for the rest of you, I thought I’d share some of my favorite plaid fashion finds:

How cute is this plaid dress from Target?... READ MORE 


Would You Wear This Sweater, 2010

It’s been two whole years since the last installment of Would You Wear This Sweater.

I am guessing I’ve found one no one would—if only because baking and wrapping would be so difficult.

But by all means weigh in if I am wrong!

As ever, you’re among friends…we won’t judge you!

(And if you made or own this sweater…forgive me! I’m sure it looks good on you!)


Gotta Love the Wellies

The history of keeping feet warm, dry and stylish!

Ever since I read Paddington Bear as a child I’ve dreamed of slipping a pair of Wellies (a.k.a. Wellington Boots) onto my feet. I recently checked out Paddington Bear from the library for my own little ones and the desire was rekindled. For any of you out there who are interested in the history of fashion, as I am, Google turned up some interesting facts:

“1817 was the year the wellington first made... READ MORE 


Modesty ... Through the Eyes of a 19-Year-Old Guy

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 


Cute & Cool Tees Make Great Gifts

some early Christmas shopping ideas

I realize Christmas is still about two months away but I’m determined to finish my shopping before Advent begins this year.

Will my determination trump my nature (my nature having a reputation for procrastination)? It’s highly unlikely but I’m giving it all I’ve got! Who’s with me?

While I was wandering the web in search of Christmas presents for friends and family I stumbled upon a website called... READ MORE 


Tights! Tights! Tights!

a little girl classic grows up

This week was the first week local temperatures dipped low enough to justify wearing my favorite fashion accessory—tights! For someone like me who favors simple, monotone clothing, tights can be an easy way to add a little flair. They can also add warmth to an outfit and are a fantastic way to “modest-ize” your wardrobe. Here are a few of my favorite selections from StockinGirl.com

I will often... READ MORE 


Will You Go Western?

What do you think of Glamour's '14 Most Wearable Fall Fashions'?

Happy Fall, ladies! I could barely believe it when I stepped out my front door this morning and was actually cold! Here in the South! In September! But let’s not talk about it lest I discover that it’s just too good to be true…

Let’s talk about fashion instead! More specifically, let’s talk about the Fall 2010 fashion trends! And no, not because I imagine many (any?) of us are planning on running... READ MORE 


S Is For Sweet

Time to Shop for Baby Fashions

Hi ladies!

Thank you so much for the many prayers before, during and after the birth of my little one! They meant the world to me! I’ve missed you guys and am so glad to be back! Having said that, I am just a tiny bit sleep-deprived so you will forgive me if my grammar, spelling, and/or clarity leaves something to be desired. Yawn…

Anyway, on to the fashion…

Since I’m currently living in the land... READ MORE 


Hair Therapy

Do you do your own "do"?

I like to think that I’m not a vain person, that I don’t give too much attention to my personal appearance, other than to make sure I’m clean, well groomed and appropriately attired.  My make up routine consists of applying some blush and lip gloss I bought at CVS two years ago on Sundays before Mass, if I’m speaking or have meeting, or if Greg and I are going out on a “date”.

That’s why I’m a bit... READ MORE 


Perfect Shoes

What are yours?

In a perfect world, I would own a pair of the shoes pictured here. In a perfect world, I would be able to walk in said shoes without looking like my knees were fused. I love these shoes; I suspect they wouldn’t love me back.

But red shoes—that’s where it’s at! I own a pair of red Dansko clogs—Mary Janes even!—and once the weather cools I will wear those shoes everyday until Spring. For me, they are... READ MORE
