Five years ago I had never once believed in God, not even as a child. All my life I was a content atheist; it was simply obvious to me that God did not exist. I thought that religion and reason were incompatible, and eventually became vocally anti-Christian. In 2005 I began to have doubts about atheism and started this blog to ask questions of believers. Long story short, I blogged my way from lifelong atheism to Catholicism (my husband and I both entered the Catholic Church in 2007). I now write about faith after atheism. Welcome to my blog, I'm glad you're here!
I couldn't agree more
Everyone in my personal life is probably tired of hearing me rant about what young girls are wearing these days. It's really a pet peeve of mine. I cannot believe that everyone else isn't utterly shocked by the new fashion trends for pre-teens.
I don't generally put buttons on my site since I'm lazy and like a clean look, but I'll make an exception for the Moms for Modesty one. I couldn't agree more.

Do you know about Colleen Hammond's book, and website, Dressing with Dignity? It is quite good and has links to a lot of different vendors (some well known, others not so) of modest clothing.
May I also recommend True Girl Magazine? This magazine is aimed at Catholic girls, ages 12-19, and is a brilliant alternative to the usual sex-filled teen magazine like Teen Vougue and Seventeen. Lots of fun and fashion as well as Catholic catechesis. My sixteen-year-old daughter thoroughly enjoys it.
I've got 4 girls and this is something I always think about. My wife does all the clothes shopping and she does a pretty good job. No bare tummy's, no sassy/rude sayings, no short-shorts, no words on the butt. Just nice looking, cute stuff.
