its a sad comment on our culture when a size 4-6 is perceived as “fat”…

Hi Jen
yes, flip a coin: experience or appearance! one lasts longer than the other…

last year Shapely Prose posted a list of sites to shop for suits if you have a hard time finding one that fits, feels “safe” (nothing like having the top pop off!) and are also cute.

your memories (and your children’s memories!)of those days on the beach are what life is all about. I guarantee that nobody else on the beach that day was paying attention to you as much as they were paying attention to themselves! hope you find that “summer feeling” all season long!

finding the right suit is tough & discouraging…but soaking in the hot tub is fun!

I love this illustration. As far as swimsuits go, for some reason I have always had to buy a larger sized suit even when I was a fairly thin gal, which was both annoying and frustrating! These days I can’t even remember when I actually last had any kind of swimsuit on. I just stay away from the pools and mostly I wear shorts and t-shirts instead. Suits me fine!

Hi Diane
lovin’ the flip-flops and looking forward to that too!
Yes, you would need to become a follower of this blog, as the “friend connect” from my old blog doesn’t transfer over.
Making the change from Blogger to WordPress was a fairly simple installation; what was VERY time consuming, however, was customizing the template. Its very helpful if you know some basic HTML, or have someone who can help you with the WP interface. Lots of good tutorials and forums online, and once you get the hang of it, it’s very cool.

Hi Elizabeth – I got your note about changing your site from Blogger to Wordpress. Do I need to resubscribe?

How did your conversion go? I have a worpress acct, my host and paid for a theme already set up, but I am still going back and forth. I use Typepad and have been very happy with them, but keep hearing on all ends that Wordpress is where you should be. What are the differences for you, what was the hardest so far. I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

What I am looking forward to Summer for is: being able to wear flip flops!

As you “northies” are looking forward to summer, we “southies” are longing for Winter. We’ve had our sweatiness, we’ve had our sunburn, we’ve had our sleepless nights.

I’m looking forward to coloured tights and cute cardigans!
