This is a new site, with lots of content planned – including video tutorials.

Check out the site, and leave a comment or suggestion on projects you’d like to learn how to do.

I hope you and your family take time this weekend to reflect on why we celebration Independence Day.

On to other news….

Spark People

No, I’m not talking fireworks sparks – I’m taking fitness and weight loss. Spark People is an awesome site I first started using a couple years ago. It’s free and you can track your exercise, water intake and log your food. It’s helpful to see how every bite you take adds up and it doesn’t take much extra to overindulge and see where those extra pounds came from.

What I like best about Spark People is their new mobile apps. I can log my food from my home computer, laptop or now from my mobile phone and it all syncs together. No more not logging food because I’m away from my computer.

They also have a very nice Spark People Recipes site and also a recipes mobile app with a ton of great healthy recipes. Using the app for that makes it nice when you’re shopping, just open the app on your phone, search for your recipe and see what ingredients you need. Easy!

All that to say, enjoy your BBQ this weekend – in moderation.

Traci

Common sense isn’t so common, and apparently less so when discussing issues of modesty. This trend toward immodest clothing has been slowly working it’s way into our society for that past 50 years, at least.

I have nothing against fashion and style; but when fashion and style mean showing all that the good Lord gave ya – it’s time to say no.

Today a tweet came through my Twitter account with a link to view a modest dress, the site itself also discussed modesty. Refreshing to know I’m not the only one who believes in the virtue of dressing modestly. (check out http://www.colleenhammond.com ) When I visited Colleen’s Facebook page, I found the above modesty sign.

In reading her Facebook thread on this sign, it appears the sign itself is located outside the entrance to a CHURCH!

The fact that such a sign would need to be posted outside of a church is a great indication of how far away from common sense modesty our society has come – even for those within the church.

Definitions of modesty have so greatly changed, that I guess a sign (with pictures) is absolutely needed.

I want one of these signs! If I can obtain the info on how to get one, I’ll post it here for you.

In the meantime….

Here’s Colleen’s great list of modest clothing resources. My own list of modesty clothing resources is found to the right, in the sidebar.

What is your definition of modesty?
