And some time IN the pool this summer. We have a membership to a pool that is within walking distance from our house….so the boys and I are excited to spend some time there.
I just had to get a couple new suits. I have bought exactly one suit since I had my 6 year old. And that one suit was a Walmart one, that is so not flattering at all. I think I have avoided it mostly because it is so painful to swimsuit shop…you agree, right?
So…I went on Lands End’s site…and measured and re-measured (uggghhh..not fun but better than trying on swimsuits myself!)..and got myself a virtual model to try on the suits for me. The virtual model is free, all you have to do is click on “try on” when you are looking at a suit. As far as local shopping is concerned, there are no good places to go buy a suit anyway…and if you are going to do something as scary (and downright depressing LOL) as try on a swimsuit…you might as well have a virtual model do it for you. Besides, what else is technology good for?
It is funny….because Land’s end already had an account for me, it seems I had a virtual model already set up and never had the guts to order the suit!
So I ordered these tops: this one and this one. And a cute skirt bottom (this one) and then just a regular black bottom. I got them in yesterday…very flattering…very happy with the whole experience…now that it is over! 
By the way, they even have special recommendations for you “anxiety zones” as they call them on the site…tummy would be mine…something about giving birth to a couple hefty boys (9 and 10 pound bruisers) left me with issues…errr…”anxiety zones”.
