I am very seriously on the quest to find a bathing suit.  Last summer I was having a baby and although this summer I am not quite feeling my best self yet, I am getting there.  I am a believer that a good fitting suit will make a big difference.  It needs to make your stomach feel flat, it needs to have defined cups, or at least a shape that does not look like a sports bra.  I have been bookmarking cute suite for months.  When will I take the plunge and actually buy one?  I'm not quite sure of that.

this one is cute.

I like this one but my hubby says no way.

Current fav!

And I also like this one.

Call me crazy, but I know everyone says how great Lands End bathing suits are, but I don't.  I feel like a grandma in them.  My current rule of thumb is, if my mother and mother in law are wearing something from a certain brand line, then I probably shouldn't be.

Mid thirties is waaay too young for that kind of nonsense.

However, I admit I did google various versions of bathing suits for postpartum multiple times.  How long do you get to say you're postpartum for, nine months one, nine months off... right?  I am teetering at the edge of not being postpartum.

I love this time of year when it is getting warmer, I love envisioning lazy days on the beach with me and my family.  Everyone is just so much happier when we can spend the days outside.
