Hey y’all! I’m Melani. I started blogging almost two years ago; the purpose of my blog being sharing my convictions on modesty. I am 16 years old and am about to start my junior year of high school. I am the oldest of seven kids, and we are all homeschooled. My mom is expecting baby #8 in August-September!
About the Blog: My family’s modesty standards are different than most. While most in our society don’t give what they wear a second thought, I think it is really important and worth talking about. I mostly share posts on modest outfits that I wear on a day to day basis. Where to buy modest clothing, etc. I also like to share occasionally why I dress the way I do. I think it’s hardly a modesty blog if I share outfits but don’t give the reason. ; ) I also share articles every once in a while about my faith and family. And, I love having friends and bloggers coming over to guest post!
I live in North Georgia in the countryside that doesn’t have Wifi. ; )
I never leave the house without a book.
I *love* Pride and Prejudice, Anne of Green Gables, and Little House on the Prairie. ❤️
I could eat Junior Mints every day and be perfectly happy. ; )
Hamburgers are disgusting, in my opinion.
The majority of my books are Amish and Historical fiction.
I keep about four journals. ; )
My sister and I are I Love Lucy and When Calls the Heart fans. ; )
I love learning how to speak Spanish.
I am a sinner saved by the grace of God. : )
I love dancing too! English Country Dancing. 🙂

I just found your blog and I have found it so encouraging. I wear modest apparel as well, and it’s so nice to see another teen who actually does dress modestly! I am also homeschooled, and I, too, love to read! What is one of your favorite classics?

Hey Aria! My favorite classics? Hmm…. I have many! I love Pride and Prejudice, Anne of Green Gables, and Little Women! Just to name a few. 😉

It is really difficult to see a girl who reads a lot. Pride and Prejudice used to be one of my favorites. But nowadays I only “look through” a couple of “useful” readings like How Google Works. Miss the days I never thought of money.

Reading is an excellent way to wind down! I completely understand what you’re saying. Life gets busy, and books are expensive, so I also have times where reading is a challenge! Have a blessed week, Molly. 😊

Dear Melani…I just discovered your lovely blog! I love how you strive to dress to bring glory to the Lord – what a joy to find another young lady walking a similar path to me! I am also the eldest of seven children…six girls and a boy! Caleb was born at the end of April… How exciting that your family are about to welcome baby #8! Praise be to the Lord for this wodnerful blessing! I also love When Calls the Heart, Pride and Prejudice and of course, Anne of Green Gables!

Melani, I don’t want to be annoying, believe me, but I was just wondering if you got my comment about us being pen-pals? I know we don’t know each other well yet. 🙂
Does your mom have a blog? My mom was wondering.
Thanks!
