The mom bathing suit.  Looking for a great one? Check out these cute, flattering, functional suits!

Mom Bathing Suit Options: These swimsuits are flattering, have great support and are NOT expensive!

Oh hey warm weather.  Here you are again.  So let's talk bathing suits.  Now here's the thing.  When I think of mom bathing suits, I think of the function they need to have.  Let's be honest if you have LITTLE kids…..you need a suit you can run, swim, dig in the sand and play in.  Right? I think there are some great one piece and bikini options……and my main requirements? Some type of support on top just to keep things in place when I'm running and swimming or jumping into the waves at the beach and medium to full coverage on the bottom.  My personal preference? A higher waisted bottom if it's a two piece (bonus these look great on postpartum bodies and I just love the style).

Just a reminder (I know, I say this a lot) every one of us deserves to feel beautiful in a bathing suit.  Take the time to find one that you love, and enjoy the warm weather.  It's good for the soul.  If this is hard for you (I get it, it was for me too) I encourage you to work on developing a positive body image .  And then read about my own journey, and our Just Wear The Suit community……it will help you to see that this is something so many of us struggle with.

The Mom Bathing Suit

Mom Bathing Suit Options: These swimsuits are flattering, have great support and are NOT expensive!

I rounded up some of my favorite options for mom bathing suits.  We've got a variety of styles and price points.  I know you'll find one that you love!

  1. Ruffled One Piece: This adorable one piece is my favorite style and it's a STEAL (it also comes in red and a simple print).
  2. Boho Print Off the Shoulder: Isn't this boho print pretty? It also comes in a leopard print, but I love how soft and beachy this one is (bonus it's under fifty dollars).
  3. Seesucker One Piece: I know this is cheesy, but I'm a total sucker for seersucker.  I love the high neck on this, and it has great support (also a really good price).
  4. Colorblocked One Shoulder Suit: Isn't it ADORABLE? It comes in a pretty botanical print too.  This one keeps selling out, so if you see your size…..don't wait!
  5. Twist Front One Piece: This simple suit comes in a BUNCH of colors and prints and is SUPER flattering (so is the price tag).
  6. Melon Colored Two Piece: When I tried this two piece on, I was SHOCKED at how much I loved it.  Isn't the color stunning?!?
  7. Melon Color Two Piece Bottoms: Can't forget those, right?
  8. Lace Up Scallop One Piece: Looking for a classic suit you'll have for YEARS? This one in black or the pretty olive color it also comes in? It's a keeper (and it's $35).
  9. Red Floral One Piece:  I love this tropical one piece, and the side cinching? Is great for adjusting to your body type!
  10. Macrame Strapped One Piece: Looking for a touch of trend? The macrame straps on this one piece add just the right touch!
  11. Color Blocked One Piece: This is one of the most flattering suits I've EVER tried on.  It's comfortable, has great support (and it's a GREAT price).
  12. Sport Bra Style Bikini Top: This two piece has KILLER support, and is great for chasing kids or a day of water sports.
  13. High Waisted Bottom: This high waisted bottom is GREAT for active beach days!
  14. Isabel One Piece: I own this suit in red from a couple seasons ago, and it has truly stood the test of time.  It's flattering, has great support and is super stylish!
  15. Miracle Suit:  I have to admit, I was apprehensive about buying a compression suit.  But this one? So comfortable and super flattering!
  16. Tie Bikini Top: I love the blue print on this bikini (and it's got great support).
  17. Bikini Bottom:  The high waisted bottom is SUPER flattering.

Have you ever attended a luau? This was the first Have you ever attended a luau?This was the first I’ve EVER attended (fun fact, when we came to Aulani 5 years ago we were supposed to and it was rained out). The night before on this trip, we had some storms and I thought….oh no, round 2? But……the Hawaiian sun did it’s job and the weather for this was PERFECT. To be honest, this was not cheap.  I was a little apprehensive about whether I would feel it was worth the money but…..WOW was it ever.  The food was amazing, there were really fun activities for kids at the beginning and the cultural performances were phenomenal.  All three of us (including not wanting to spend even more $$$ vacation Robbie) left raving about the experience. Aulani wins for us so far on this trip that I’m so glad I booked in advance (highly suggest doing this as far out from your trip dates as you can)- the luau (try night 2 or 3 of your trip so you’ve had time to adjust to the time change)- Aunty’s Beach House (this is still at limited capacity so you DO need to book in advance, I booked a session for days 2, day 3, and day 4 and we’ve enjoyed having a bit of time each day)- character dining and prix fix dinner at Makahiki (we are one big meal each vacation day people, so DON’T book these the same day, I’d do character breakfast early on your first full day….you’ll wake up early with the time change and the dinner on whichever night you AREN’T doing the luau)Already dreaming of booking another trip here.
🌴🌺Postcards from Aulani: the Food and Charac 🌴🌺Postcards from Aulani: the Food and Characters are the Best🌺🌴(if you could only pick one of these treats, what would it be?!?)🌺 Mickey Masubi from the Ulu Cafe🌴minnie red velvet waffles (character breakfast at Makahiki)🌺 aulani special from the coffee cart (available each morning until 10:30 am)🌴olu rice crispy treat from the Ulu CafeFav meals so far (ha) were both at Makahiki.  We LOVED the character breakfast (so many unique local food offerings) and the Disney Team treated us to the prix fix dinner our first night here….I can’t even begin to explain what a lovely experience it was.  Killer cocktails, a GREAT kids’ menu and I had the best Ahi of my life.Now swipe all the way to end for an appearance from Vacation Robbie.  We love to see it.And place your votes…..pick ONE treat.
Five years ago. This exact place. Robbie had jus Five years ago.  This exact place.  Robbie had just finished two years of grad school.  And it had been a long, tough two years.  That year involved one major teacher strike in my district, many many many jobs and gigs for both of us, minimal time off together, a whole lot of unknowns and a whole lot of stress.The Disney and Aulani team probably had no idea that they were giving us the gift of much needed peaceful time together when they invited us on a trip to this magical place.  A trip that….to be honest, was beyond our means at the time.  We cherished every moment. A lot has happened since then.  A move, buying a house, seeing those years of hard work pay off.  And now….we did it.  We’re back.  Lazy river here we come. TLDR? If you’re in the thick of it, I see you.  We’ve been there. Family, Welcome Home……we did it.  Aulani for the week.
Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled muscle? I should have known better.  When training for my race, I didn’t stretch or warm up enough most days and….here we are.Lesson learned.  I’m 4 weeks post race (do not recommend running a 10k on a pulled muscle) and I’m……almost better.  I’m learning to stretch and walk and to take better care of myself so that I can start running again REALLY soon (we’re almost there I think).For now? I’m doing recovery walks and trying to strengthen my leg.  And trying to make sure I get enough protein.  When I talked about Built Bars on my stories, a LOTTTTT of you raced about their Puffs.  Yup, I get it.  They’re AMAZING.  I’ve been bringing them along on my walks (and gluten free friends….they have some great options for us).Have you ever pulled a muscle? What was recovery like for you?#youGOTTAtrythis #BUILTProtein #BUILT #BUILTbar partner
💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zo 💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zoo (and swipe to the end for a close up)⠀⠀🌴Coming to San Diego for Spring Break or a Summer Vacation?⠀⠀📍Let’s talk San Diego Zoo (and yes, I got off a plane yesterday, picked up Lydia and we spent the afternoon at the zoo…..it was LOVELY).⠀⠀A few things to help you plan visits to San Diego and the Zoo:⠀1️⃣ the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park are NOT close together.  The Zoo is close to downtown, the Safari Park is about 25 miles north.  I’d suggest one day at each.  They’re totally unique and both worth a visit.  The Safari Park is smaller, but has REALLY unique exhibits (Walkabout Australia is my favorite).⠀2️⃣ both have some really fun and unique dining experiences that you can reserve in advance: Albert’s at the Zoo is a FANCY and fun sit down option, and The Watering Hole at Kijamii Overlook at the Safari Park is great for happy hour or a fun lunch ⠀3️⃣ there are great kids play areas at both locations, the Wildlife Explorers Base Camp area at the San Diego Zoo is brand new and absolutely amazing⠀⠀✨ Now, a bonus tip.  Undercover Tourist now has NATIONWIDE savings on over 500 attractions in 50 cities and up to 25% on tickets for theme parks, zoo, museums, aquariums, city tours, water parks, and movie tickets. And the deals they have for San Diego?  AMAZING (I’m sharing details in my stories).⠀⠀@themeparkfrog #UncoverSavingsNationwide #ad
