Mommy Hobbies: What's the new beautiful?

Oh, the stinking media.  How it has twisted our perception of beauty, women, womanhood…socially acceptable behavior.  Who knows how we’re supposed to act anymore??  I tend to go back to the Bible, personally, or Godly women in my life and pattern myself after them. However, one aspect of beauty that seems to slip by is [...]

 

Sunday Best:

I had to run some wedding errands yesterday (I had to see if a wedding dress I saw online was the one I wanted–it was!) and before going to my appointment I stopped at Forever 21. I honestly can’t stand being in that store. I typically make my F21 purchases online or early in the [...]

 

Sunday Best: Another $4 Skirt and My Self Esteem

Um, Fashion Blogger? The other day someone referred to me as a “fashion blogger”.  I had to laugh because I NEVER call myself a fashion blogger. Blogger, yes. I never set out to be a “fashion blogger“. I’ve been blogging since high school (I started off on Diaryland, then Xanga, had a blog or two [...]

 

Mommy Hobbies: Distaster? Be prepared. Proverbs 31 style

My last post received a lot of attention, so happy! It gave all of MoMoMod’s faithful readers a little more insight as to who I am. I cover a lot of easy MIY (make it yourself) home supply recipes, cooking recipes and decorative projects on my blog. I’m also, highly, *cough cough* highly opinionated But, [...]

 

Sunday Best: $4 Make You Hollllla

Yesterday was one of those days. You know the kind. Nothing fits. Easily irritated. You feel like a heffalump. BOO. Salvation Army had one of their oh-so-awesome 50% off sales the other day, and I snagged this skirt for $4. It’s my first pleated skirt; I don’t own any pleated skirts because I always thought [...]

Modest Fashion: 5 Black Wardrobe Staples You Need to Own

Nix what Marie Claire or Glamour magazine have told you. You don’t need a faux fur vest, bright yellow neon pumps, or a ______ to complete your closet. I love my faux fur vest and own several pairs of shoes in brightly colored hues. I don’t, however, wear my faux fur vest and pink heels [...]

 

Mommy Hobbies: Proverbs 31 Woman and Stuff I'll Never Buy Again

As much as I’d like to think I’m living a Proverbs 31 lifestyle, I fall short.  Waaayyyy short.  My childhood was filled with Proverbs 31 women; you know the kind — waking up with praises on their lips to Lord, a kind face, gentle, soft answers to all the irritations around them, seamstresses, fabulous cooks, [...]

 

Sunday Best: Austenland Hair Accessories and Giveaway

Rain! Is it raining in your neck of the woods today? Rain has pelted Central California and I couldn’t be happier. We haven’t seen much rain around these parts, and rain is most definitely necessary for food to grow. Central California (well, many parts of California) is home to grapes, peaches, almonds, alfalfa, oranges, and [...]

 

Modest Shoes: Chelsea Crew

I love shoes. I love heels. I love platforms. I love sparkly shoes. I like stilettos. I like peeptoes. I have a continuously growing shoe collection that includes designer shoes and some designer inspired shoes.Shoes are my thing. In fact, I closed out my March budget by purchasing these Zara shoes (I had a little [...]

 

 

Sunday Best: Vintage Polka Dots

We had a bit of a hiccup with the blog this week. Apparently the server that hosts MoMoMod got h a c k e d and when readers would visit the blog they would be redirected to other unpleasant websites. Eek! It looks like everything is well now. Back to our regularly scheduled broadcast(ing)! Brandon [...]

Pretty Is This Product Review: The Halftee

Good Friday to all! This last week I got the opportunity to try out the Halftee, and oh-my-gosh! They are genius! I had heard about this product before, but never thought I would get the chance to review one. Tami from Half-Tee was gracious enough to send the halftee of my choice over for me to review. There [...]

 

Modest Clothing: Thrifted Thursday

I never set out to be a blogger that thrived on telling tales of thrifted treasures. After I started blogging and taking outfit pictures for my blog I realized that many of the things I wore were from Goodwill, Salvation Army, and local thrift stores. Thrifting is a fairly new term, but the act of [...]

Sunday Best: Favorite Black Skirt

I first wore this birthday cake skirt here and have worn it faithfully ever since. I’ve worn it to three weddings, two funerals, to church and to a concert. No other skirt in my closet has received so much love. Today I paired it with a striped Old Navy shirt, a vintage belt I found [...]

 

MIY: (No Sew) Blazer Refashion

Since becoming a mother my “Sunday’s best” has shifted a bit. My knit tops, maxi skirts and cute high heels have been replaced with structured blazers, cardigans, midi skirts, flats and kitten heels. (Unfortunately, denim skirts and Pumas have become my weekday staples — but I’m working on that!) It’s not that I no longer enjoy my [...]

Modest Wedding Dresses

Since I created a Wedding Inspired Pinterest board in July of last year, I have been fielding questions left and right about “my engagement”. I’ve had to politely remind folks that when I am engaged they will most definitely know, and oh, by the way? Nearly 99.9% of the girls that have a wedding board [...]
