We thought all you bargain shoppers would like knowing that www.themodbod.com is doing a winter blowout sale by offering 30% off all their perfect long sleeve shirts.

The extra long shirt with extra long sleeves comes in 6 different colors and will be on sale from Feb. 2 through Feb. 7

When I was down last week in Safford I drove by the new Temple being built down there. They are calling it the Gila Valley Temple and here it is … Its going to be a beautiful Temple!!

The Undertease clothing company has a great new line of maternity wear cleverly named the O Baby line.

The O Baby line features both a cap sleeved tee and a camisole, which come in a variety of different colors. The O Baby Collection was designed specifically for mothers-to-be and therefore is cut fuller in the bust and front of the shirt. The clothing line’s goal is to provide the same level of comfort and confidence from clothing that a woman enjoy’s when not pregnant.

The staff at Blend Fashions (retailer of the O Baby line) stated that women rave over this line of maternity clothing because of the comfort, cut, and durability of the shirts.

Recently we have been posting about companies that should be applauded for joining the modest clothing movement. One of the companies my wife likes to shop with is www.themodbod.com so I thought I would give them a shout out this morning.

The modbod produces a line of long camisoles, long tees, and other modest clothing. I have met the creator of the modbod clothing line and she is a lot of fun. She recently joined Twitter so if you like to Tweet you can follow her @ModBod.

I also found a 15% off modbod coupon that they are promoting via Google local. So, if you live nearby any of their retail locations bring in the coupon to save some cash.

I just received a message on Twitter that @blendfashions is offering a 15% off coupon via Google Maps.

So, I thought I would pass on the savings. Thanks Blend.

MyLDSDirect supports the modest clothes movement. We also understand that “modest” does not have to mean “old fashioned”. In fact, today there is a lot of modern clothing that is also modest clothing.

For example long camisoles have been an awesome accessory for the modest but modern woman.

Those readers who live in Utah county should really go check out the new Blend Fashions store on State Street in Pleasant Grove. Blend Fashions offers the definition of modern but modest clothing in a full line of undershirts, camisoles, dresses, skirts, jackets, swimwear, and denim. You can find clothing from modbod, Undertease, See thru Soul, David Kahn, Rock Revival, Devon Leigh, Pathway and more.

Blend Fashions is the brain child of three fashion conscious and dynamic women: Suzanne Broadbant, Shellie Slade, and Amanda Behrbom. MyLDSDirect wishes these women and their modest clothing movement all the best!

I found an amazing service on Twitter tonight called Bloggled and they offer a service that will allow me to print my blog.  I know all of my friends who run family blogs on the Blogger software (powered by Google) who worry all of the time about Google deleting their blog.  It actually happened to Google.  They deleted their own blog.  If they can accidentally delete their own blog, they can delete yours.

The reason I share this information about printing your blog though is because this service will do much more then just print your blog they will also help me archive my blog and so much more!

I was thinking it would be cool to print off my family blog and have a book that I can put on my coffee table for when family comes over.  These days the younger families don’t have picture albums anymore.  All of their pictures are digital and that is one thing that I miss - having something to hold and look at away from the computer.  Something that you can do with your kids for a family home evening.

I am glad I came across this site on Twitter and I just wanted to make sure all the readers of this blog were aware of Bloggled and the services they offer.  Thanks Bloggled - you guys rock!

Had another opportunity to go check out the lights at the Mesa Arizona Temple this year and wanted to share with everyone here:

I read a great post today asking the question (and analyzing) if drinking caffinated sodas as a Mormon was allowed, and I wanted to get reader feedback and their take on it.  What is your guys take on it?  Are you a Mormon that drinks caffinated sodas?  I use to, but sadly I did not stop because I felt I was breaking the Word of Wisdom, but rather because it gave me horrible headaches and I was addicted to it.  I sleep better at night because of it, and I am losing weight too.  These are obvious benefits, but I have many friends that are Mormons that drink caffinated sodas with zero effects (obvious to me or them anyway).

So I ask again - What is your take on the official policy, and do you drink caffinated sodas?  Do you have any negative effects from doing so?  I would love to hear and get this question answered finally.  Thanks guys!
