I think there is Magic in Here
Seriously, this look amazing on everyone. I know you are looking at it and going, what the heck !! Trust me, it's worth a try. I have HUGE boobs and it totally works. The panels are flattering, I actually got compliment in my suit !  I have been told some of the colors start at $4.00

Take the risk, channel your inner Kim K. The worst thing that happens is you love it then remind your husband of the hotness you are and he starts shaving his back again . 

 You're Welcome 

There are a lot of colors available here 

Definitely Not for an Ocean Frolic
A hot tub with adults. For sure

Swimming in the ocean with your kids...not so much...  Only if you are ok with a boob popping out.  I am not French. I am a chubby mom who grew up at the Jersey shore. Nipples out ... Not Ok. 

Again, the girl with the huge boobs here, the ladies sit nicely in the hammocks there, I had to pop the built in cups out , they did weird things but if you want to turn up the heat with the husband or looking for a new one, this is the way to go !

Because Moms Need to Get it Done 

There is nothing worse than frolicing  with your kids in the pool and then you being the one to have to go to the bathroom.

You drag them out of the pool crying, then you have to bribe them with the snack bar to make the long 5 foot trek to the ladies lounge , eat the snack, run from the bees and the next thing you know it's time to go home and make dinner.  Two pieces, easy up , easy down. 

Not the most trend setting but this suit gets it done.

The # 1 Product People ask me about from my 2017 list 

Hypoallergenic, Vegan, Paraben and Gluten Free

Also coming back from last year's list....My kids are allergic to the most random things. On several occasions I have gone through the loving act of slathering one of my children in sun screen only to have them screaming in pain like I lit them on fire.  We finally found Sun Bum last year. Their products are truly a life saver for my sensitive family .

Their lip protector is yummy, like your favorite lip smacker from the 8th grade and we use their aftersun products as well. 

See their entire line of Sun Care Products Here. 

You can Sit with Me

At our swim club you have to stalk chaises, and when you finally get one, it's usually wet with someone else's... well gunk.  I like to think it's pool water but it's a nasty combination of sunscreen, water, who know what else. 

The greatest thing about our rectangle throws is that they are cool and cotton, the sand slides right off. We sit on them all day and then we wrap up in them as we head back to the car. Because they are cotton they are soft and tightly woven for sand management. 

Available for Local Pick up

I can't lie to you ...
 I have spent a few minutes cursing at this thing. 

It's one of the tests of motherhood wills. 

It's like a twist and a pop to get it back in it's case.  Sure. 

After spending 40 sweaty, sandy covered minutes figuring out the right twist and the right pop.  My daughter lives in this thing. If I forget it, she spends the day sitting under the boardwalk scowling. 

Well Worth the money. 

I also won't lie, there may or may not have been one really windy day that this thing was sitting empty and launched like a rocket and took out a few families on the beach. 

IN the long run, the shade is worth the social awkwardness.

This goes in the Tent
It's a portable, light weight battery fan.  Needless to say it probably is more wishful thinking that it has super cooling properties but it does come in handy.  There are days that we go for the long haul and it gets sweaty in the sand tent. It make everyone happy. 

Do NOT get the big idea that you can spray water into it and you will have a misting.... as I am now on my second one... 

Battery Operated. Under $15 dollars, fits in a beach bag and I would highly recommend carrying around  some extra batteries cause if this baby dies mid-day Mom's fun is over ! 

It's 5 inches in diameter and runs on D batteries. Great for young and old !

The Best $2 you can spend
We took a family vacation to Mexico and went to a waterpark. We got there late and there were no lockers to rent. We had our keys, our money and our cell phones. The waterpark was selling a similar pouch for 9 dollars. They are triple sealed to keep out the sand and water and they fit the really big cell phones. The pouch is touch friendly. Full phone functionality. I had seen people trying to take pictures through them and swimming with them under water. I am NOT telling you that this is the answer with these as they are $2 dollars but for safe water and sand protection we have them in stock.

Preparation is Key 

For those times that you have Youtube in one hand learning how to handle that Boo Boo emergency while fumbling for that old band aid in your purse 

There is NO Science here. But I did not get ONE mosquito bite last year. 

I was one of those kids who was covered in mosquito bites all summer. I swear the first mosquito of the season has a tiny picture of me in a Wanted sign. I guess I am just that sweet. All kidding aside and there is absolutely no medical or scientific claim here but I took 1000 mcgs of Vitamin B12 last summer daily and did not get ONE BITE. NOT ONE and I live outside all summer. The downside, your pee smells terribly and the capsules are the size of my chihuahua but it's worth it to me! 

Vitamin B12

When All Else Fails there is UNO

I have been traveling around with UNO for over 5 years. Ask me, anytime you see me ask me to show you my UNO. It saves my life on so many occasions. My purse pack is so old school and worn.We play all the time. waiting for doctors, waiting for food at restaurants.

Pool Side is a favorite time but the cards fly away at the first breeze. Then we found this off brand set.

These plastic UNO cards are awesome because not only are they waterproof they are plastic so they don't take off in a summer breeze.
