I know most women dread shopping for swimsuits. I’m a Miami girl at heart so I never minded it… until I had a kid. Now I can’t just reach for my go-to string bikinis because a) I don’t feel comfortable wearing them anymore and b) they’re definitely not kid appropriate. I’m still working on rebuilding my bikini wardrobe. But I’m happy with my one piece swimsuits collection: All three styles have a moderate leg opening. I’m self conscious about my postpartum hips. So I looked for suits that won’t cut into my sides or rise too high on the leg, accentuating the hip area. And they all have medium ..read more

No need to wait for the day after Thanksgiving to get your holiday shopping done. I’m doing it all this weekend. Why? Because so many retailers already kicked off their deals with early Black Friday sales. Could you get more of a discount if you wait until Friday or Cyber Monday? In some cases, no. The deals will actually be exactly the same. In others cases, yes. With some retailers, you can save a little bit more money. But a lot of items sell out. And I don’t know about you, but for me, spending the day after Thanksgiving with family is priceless. So if you’re like me, and want to stay on ..read more
