Call me crazy, but ever since hitting a certain age, I only crave one-piece swimsuits and pretty cover ups that “cover”. Occasionally I will wear a very modest two piece but we can certainly say that my days in a skimpy string bikini are gone. The good news is that I have found a lot of really pretty designs that are modest while not losing any design appeal. Oh, and I’m being brave and showing you my swimsuit today…

Happy Friday! Are you dreaming of sandy beaches and clear blue water? Whether you’re headed to the beach, pool, lake, or anywhere else to soak up the sun…I’ve gathered up some of my favorite vacation essentials! I hope this makes packing for your next summer vacation easy!

Remember the Mom Makeover contest that I had on the blog in May? I’m excited to introduce you to the winner today and show you what she got as she spent the day in Southlake Town Square. We met and shot a video together. And also, how awesome is this lightweight side-tie pullover?
