Six Reasons to Quit


"Mommy, can I change my dress?"
 "No, why?"
"Jenny, (the neighbor-girl accross the street) said she didn't like my dress."
"She said that?"
"Well no, but she said she liked Anabelle's and didn't say anything about mine." 
Tears starting to swell in her beautiful brown eyes...

My four year old is worried about her clothes.

I have work to do, and it's surely not here.


When I began Pure Modesty, I had no idea I would end up with over 1500 fans and friends! (I'm seriously amazed!) 

Because we are all given the same amount of time in which to use our day, I need to be a good steward of every minute I am blessed with. I want my Heavenly Father to say to me,"Well done..."

With prayer and counsel from my husband, this season of blogging for me has come to an end.

It has been my prayer from the beginning, you would find encouragement and resources to help you along in your journey, where ever it may be, to glorify the Lord through feminine dress, and homemaking by breathing life into your home.

Even though I will no longer write post or share other wonderful links, this site will remain open as a resource for you.

If you notice, there is a new tab titled, "31:24 & More" If you have a cottage industry, web-site, ebook, Etsy store, or you are a "consultant" working from your home, I would love to have you listed under this tab. I created this tab to help women who are contributing from home to aid in their "home economy" Please email me at puremodesty info at gmail dot com. If you would like to be listed.

I will also be removing my Facebook account, as it is one less responsibility to look over.

Just as I began this blog with a giveaway, I would love to end it with one as well! Stay in touch this week to see what the prize will be!

Thank you for your loving support!

In His service,

Stephanie

YES!!!! I have a lot of blogging friends and it genuinely concerns me how much time they carve out of their day to write about mommyhood- all the while missing it. Praying for you!

I will miss your posts, but know that you are doing the right thing. My family is already out of the nest, so I know how valuable your time with your children is. Thank you for leaving everything here as a resource. I do often refer to your tabs as resources for myself and others. Blessings and hugs!!!

I just saw this now (I've been a little out of touch this past week from moving to a new house). I will miss you too! Sometime I think of quitting for the same reasons. Enjoy your children, your family, and your home!
