Maternity Pants

One of my favorite things about being pregnant is maternity pants! I love maternity pants! I am not sure why we don't wear jeans with an elastic waistband all the time. Maternity pants are super comfortable and thanks to Motherhood Maternity and Target they are also fashionable.
During the first part of my pregnancy I bought a belly band so I could still wear my regular pants as my belly grew. A few months into my pregnancy my mom bought me two pairs of super comfortable and cute jeans from Motherhood Maternity. Just yesterday I finally bought a pair of black maternity work pants - my regular black work pants were too small in the waist to even wear with the belly band. Today is my first day with my maternity work pants and they feel fantastic! It feels like I'm wearing pajama bottoms! I have already told Spencer I plan on wearing maternity pants even when I'm not pregnant :) These things are fantastic!

Halloween Is NOT A Garment Holiday

This is something that has been bothering me for a long time. I do not understand why temple married, garment wearing, LDS members feel like they don't have to wear their garments on Halloween! Why do girls think they can wear any costume they want even if it is not garment appropriate. I just do not understand that logic. Garments are meant to be worn at all times, minus a few exceptions which are clearly stated and understood when you go through the temple - Halloween is NOT one of those exceptions. Why in the world would Halloween be a Church approved time to dress immodestly and not wear your garments! I do not understand. I get very upset when I get on Facebook after Halloween to see LDS members, who I know have gone through the temple, wearing a costume that does not allow them to wear their garments. Yesterday I ran through the news feed on Facebook to find a girl who got married in the temple two months ago already decide it was ok to wear a strapless black mini dress as a Halloween costume! Hello girl! Halloween is not a garment holiday! Halloween is not an excuse to dress immodestly! It really makes me upset when people completely disregard the importance and purpose of the garment and decide not to wear their garments on Halloween. I do not understand it!
