If the idea of swimsuit season makes you tense up, stick with us. We know it’s not always easy to fully embrace our bodies, but times are a-changin’! Social media, fashion websites, even store mannequins have gotten with the program and are showcasing a wide range of body types. Now more than ever,  it’s much easier to find models and influencers that represent our own bodies. And although there’s definitely a lot of work still to be done as far as size inclusivity goes across the board, there’s progress in the air. The body positivity movement isn’t going anywhere, so the perfect mom swimsuit is out there. We promise.

Let’s remember, no matter how you feel about your body, every body is a beach body. Our kids just want us to put on the bathing suit and spend the season creating memories with them. Not only do they not care about your oh-so-human “imperfections”, they likely don’t even see them. We can guarantee that no one sees what you consider to be flaws the same way that you do. At the end of the day, we want to set an example for our children. Showing them that their own bodies are perfect just as they are starts with us learning to love our own. We aren’t saying it’s that simple; but we are saying that the first step in getting comfortable at the beach or pool is just doing it. Putting on the swimsuit and getting out there. And we’re here to help.

These mom swimsuits from Amazon are totally mom-friendly. They’re flattering, confidence-boosting, and downright cute. We’ve made sure that they’re also supportive, offer various levels of coverage, and include a wide range of sizes. These are some seriously adorable and wearable suits that we’re confident you’ll feel great in. Get ready to flaunt that hot (yes, hot!) bod this spring and summer in one of these mom swimsuits, all snaggable from Amazon!

SweatyRocks Monokini

SweatyRocks

This little number is like a bikini without the commitment. It also comes in a ton of colors so you may want to pick up more than one!

Amazon Review: I have an athletic build (with a few extra winter pounds in this pic ;) but love the suit for the most part. I wish it was a little less cheeky / narrow cut in the back and the off shoulder side was a little higher for a little more chest coverage. Overall very happy with it. Quality fabric and stays in place. I returned L because it was too small and the XL fits well. I usually I'm somewhere between a medium and large both for top and bottom. —SavvyStagerAndHomeMaker

Amazon Review: First of all, I am just under 5’9” and it’s very difficult to find a one piece that not only fits correctly, but is also flattering. The color is beautiful and I can’t wait to wear this on my upcoming vacation. Buy the suit. It really does look good on everyone. —Scott Christensen

I took a chance with this one, hoping it would work. I’m going on a cruise on April and wanted something cute. This one is stunning! I got the white and the wine color. It makes me look good!! —Melissa

Amazon Review: After three babies, I’ve struggled to find something I’m comfortable in swimsuit-wise. This suit is perfect. I never write reviews, but felt a fellow momma needed to know this suit is great for covering the mommy tummy due to the ruching and good support. Buy it! I got a size large and am 5’6”, 175lbs. Fits perfect. —Jennifer B.

Amazon Review: I needed a new swimsuit for a trip and took a chance on this one. I couldn't be happier with the pattern, fit and detail with the one-shoulder bandeau! I am 5'3 and 128 lbs. and the Large fit so well. It showed on chart that LARGE is a 10-12 and I am usually a size 8-10 but this fit perfectly. I chose the Red Leaf design and love it. —Amazon Customer

It is plus and of very good quality, but it is nice. I wear 2 pieces all the time but I make sure they cover me and cinch me and I have very large DD cups or may even go to specialty stores and go up to an F or G. I am impressed that it offers support for me. That said I’m ready to hit Cancun in this 2 piece! —MBakerpsych

The shorts come down to just above the knee and are really comfortable. The top is not so low cut that I spill out, and the fit was GREAT. Not too tight anywhere. The top is long enough to cover my belly without riding up constantly and it dries fairly quickly. Definitely glad I bought it! —Aja Collins

Powerful words can make a difference before kids head to middle school

Dear daughter,

1. Someone else doesn’t need to think you’re beautiful to make it true.

Please know that you are beautiful. And not in the least because of how your eyes and nose fit on your face or the size of your waist. You are beautiful because of who you are. Those who care about you will not only see your beauty, but they will love you for loving yourself and knowing all of your own great strengths.

Do not put the power of your truth in the hands of another to decide. Hold onto it and boldly believe in yourself. You already possess it. Whether they see it or not, it’s yours.

2. Feeling good about yourself is not a bad thing.

To know one’s own strengths is a great skill. It is necessary for success in life, love, friendships, intimacy, careers, and even physical and mental health. Do not be afraid to trust in your strengths. You can know where your greatness lies and balance it with the awareness of where your faults and struggles hold you back.

We are not meant to ignore our bright light, nor are we meant to pretend as though we lack imperfections. You may be tempted to step heel to toe to make others feel more comfortable or accepting, but we all fall off that tightrope. Your feet belong on solid ground because you are incredible and flawed. Accept both.

3. You can blame me for anything.

There will be times when you find yourself in a situation that you know is trouble. You will be faced with drinking, drugs, and other “just do it” situations that are harmful to you or that you just don’t want to participate in. And yet, what should you say? Dear daughter, say that your mom has the superhero power of knowing all and you will be indentured to a life of chores and Friday night board games with your parents forever.

I trust you to make good choices, but when you need an excuse, when you need someone to blame, I can be whatever you want me to be to get you out of a bad situation.

Related: Daughters (Who’ll Conquer the World) Need to Hear These 8 Things

4. Everyone is exaggerating.

Fear of missing out can lead to bad choices, loneliness, jealousy, and hurt feelings. When you are feeling that way, remember that pictures exaggerate the truth. A simple night of three friends sitting around staring at their own phones can look like the sleepover of the century with one selfie posted on Instagram. Filters are there for a reason, they make the image of the truth look better than it really is. Likely you didn’t miss out on anything. And even if you did, your turn will come.

5. Build up your friends; it doesn’t take away from how awesome you are.

An unfortunate lie that girls are told in our society is that we must compete with one another to be the best. Healthy competition in sports and activities is a good thing when everyone knows the rules and is on the same playing field. Unhealthy competition is unspoken or hidden; it is not acknowledged and there are no rules. It leads to covert bullying also known as relational aggression.

Magazines and movies want us to think that only one girl can be the beautiful one at a party, only one dress can be the prettiest, and only one girl can get the guy. Do not be held back by needing to be prettier/smarter/cuter/trendier/sportier than your friends. Don’t be friends with girls who are stuck needing to be better than you. Be yourself and then give your friends props for being awesome, too.

6. You are in charge of your body.

Okay, this is a serious one—the most important one on this list. I want you to close your eyes and think really hard about this now for a moment because you only have one body. And your body is precious to me. I hope your body is precious to you. I hope that you treat your body as the strong, capable, incredible form that it is.

Every part of you is beautiful and perfect, designed for anything and everything you want it to do. Listen to your body, be the driver of your vessel, treat it with respect, and others will, too.

7. I will always be here. You are always my girl.

Life is hard. And like I said, we are all just trying to figure it out. As you learn and grow and change, I will always be here. I hope you will feel the warmth of my arms around you no matter where you are, like a ribbon tethering you always to the place from where you first came. I love you more than the air I breathe. I love watching you unfold and figure out who you are and claim your path.

You already have everything inside of you that you will ever need, and I am the luckiest mom in the world to have you as my daughter. I am always on your side, I’ve got your back and am holding a spotlight over you as you learn to fly, forever your cheerleader. Thanks for being you.

From prenatal yoga to grocery store runs, these maternity workout clothes will keep up with you

Maternity clothes have come a long way from the shapeless dresses and empire-waist tent tees that used to dominate the industry. Designers have realized that we mamas want to be comfortable, of course (duh), but aren’t always necessarily interested in covering all the way up. More fabric doesn’t always equal comfort. In fact, it can even mean feeling downright awkward. Instead, we’ve started rocking maternity workout clothes!

Whether you’re an avid athlete, dedicated gym-goer, or someone who just prefers a sporty vibe, activewear is a go-to! And that doesn’t have to stop once you’re expecting. Of course, with a doctor’s okay, prenatal exercise is hugely beneficial. Considering all the changes a pregnant body undergoes, staying strong, flexible, and energized matters a whole lot. But even if you’re not big on formal workouts and just prefer a daily hot girl walk, athleisure is the trend. It’s comfortable. It’s easy to mix-and-match. It’s ultra-layerable, seasonally versatile, and super cute if you know where to look. And it just so happens that you’re looking in the right place, right now. We’ve put together some fabulous on-trend maternity workout clothes that are both fashionable and functional. We even added some shoes and accessories, and your water bottle go-to list is right here!

11 Fresh Mom & Me Styles That Make a Statement

“Traveling with kids is so easy,” said no one ever. If you’ve ever boarded an airplane with a baby, you know that the amount of stuff a small person needs is in inverse proportion to their size. Diapers, wipes, a change of clothes for all parties, snacks, a breast pump, and more and more and more—they all need to fit into your carry-on bag. And you want everything to be easily accessible.

That’s where No Reception Club comes in to save the day.

Co-founders Gemma Gaisano Ng and Daniel Ng are parents themselves and they know the struggle it is to travel with little ones—the constant digging through your diaper bag to find the paci clip or favorite toy. No Reception Club just released its first two products, the Getaway Bag and the Sidekick, and you’re going to want to get in on the kickstarter pronto!

The sleek Getaway Bag speaks to Gemma’s fashion background as it is totally functional with design features you don’t see in other family travel bags. The narrow shape makes it easy for any parent to carry and the stylish black exterior makes it more of an everything bag than a diaper bag. Gemma and Daniel worked with a bag designer with 20+ years of experience and you can definitely tell when you see the bag in person (which we did!).

Here’s what you’ll love about the Getaway Bag: 

  • Instant Side Access into the bag’s two largest compartments, making it easier and faster to retrieve what you need.
  • Flexible Organization System with 2 “shelves” that velcro securely into the main compartment. Create 1, 2 or 3 sections. based on your needs.
  • Odor-Resistant Emergency Compartment at the base to isolate and contain any “accidents” along the way. It’s waterproof too.
  • An Essentials Compartment for the quickest side-access to critical items including diaper changing essentials—it also perfectly fits Sidekick!
  • Parent Pockets in the hood, front, and back panels to store everything you personally need like a laptop, passports, money, snacks and more. 

The Sidekick is awesome for so many reasons:

  • It’s a totally discreet waist or shoulder pack that fits all the diaper-changing essentials.
  • The magnetic back flap gives you one-handed access to your wipes pouch inside. This totally brilliant feature makes it so you can use one arm to muscle your squirmy toddler on the changing table while accessing wipes with the other hand.
  • There’s an included changing pad.

How to Get Your Getaway Bag and Sidekick
Get in on the Kickstarter that launches on July 13, 2021. It wraps up August 15, 202`1 with products shipping out in time for the holidays.

While I was growing up, I absolutely loved Barbie. I would beg my mother for a new Barbie every time we ventured into the toy department. As soon as we neared those Pepto Bismol-pink displays, I would get butterflies and daydream of Barbie’s and my next adventure together.

On one such trip, my mother finally acquiesced and bought me Peaches ‘n’ Cream Barbie. She kept her in the closet and said she would be my birthday gift.

Fortunately (or unfortunately) for me, Peaches ‘n’ Cream sat in her pink box staring down at me with her eternally painted smile through her see-through plastic window. I looked forward to our reunion with eagerness.

When the happy day arrived, I carefully removed Peaches ‘n’ Cream from her packaging, and slowly examined her with the precision of a doctor. She was perfect—she had waist length blonde tresses and big blue eyes. Peaches ‘n’ Cream Barbie was beautiful—and I looked nothing like her.

It’s bad enough that Barbie is a poor anatomical role model for young girls, all unbalanced rack and legs for days. But when I had asked my mother what was meant by “peaches ‘n’ cream,” she shook her head.

“I don’t know,” she had replied.

It was years later that I learned the meaning: a creamy white complexion with a blush of peach. Something I would never have. I was thankful that my 6-year-old self and my 30-something-year-old mother never knew this at the time.

Now that I’m a 30-something with young impressionable daughters of my own, I am determined that they have a doll who looks more like them. 

Enter Nahji, from Assam, India. Nahji is part of a collection called Hearts 4 Hearts Girls whose proceeds partially go to helping young girls in the countries they represent, including Dell (USA), Consuelo (Mexico), Rahel (Ethiopia), Tipi (Laos), and Lilian (Belarus).  

I immediately purchased this doll for Pumpkin’s 2nd birthday. Never mind that the box loudly stated For Ages 6+ or that my daughter was more interested in the box Nahji came in rather than in Nahji herself. She has dark beautiful hair and large lovely brown eyes. She is perfect—and she looks everything like us.

Every parent wants to keep their little one snuggled close after they’ve just entered the world, and wearing your baby is a great way to give both you and baby comfort at such a critical stage. But not all baby carriers offer safety and smart design. That’s why Nuna offers CUDL™ 4-in-1, an easy carrier that keeps your wee one close and secure, all while keeping your hands free.

Nuna has been creating smart, helpful and bold baby gear since 2007. Nuna designs its baby products around your life, which means this carrier is easy, flexible, safe and practical. Plus, the clean lines in the design of their products are often used to incorporate practical storage solutions, like a pocket to easily access your smartphone—win!

The new CUDL™ 4-in-1 has a handful of perks that make baby wearing a snap for new parents. One of our favorite features: it’s designed so you can put it on and adjust it by yourself, as opposed to relying on helpers to get your little one securely intact and get moving.

We love that the pack has four carry positions: newborn mode with integrated infant booster, facing in, facing out or back carry. All four of the positions allow your kiddo the ergonomic positioning to keep spine and hip development healthy. The carry options let you keep carrying your little one from infant to more than nine months, so when your kiddo wants to marvel at their outside world, you can have them face out. Or, switch to back carry mode for growing toddlers.

Here are some of the awesome features of the CUDL™ 4-in-1 carrier:

  • Four ergonomic magnetic buckles that make securing on the go quick and simple
  • Breathable mesh fabric and padded shoulder and waist straps
  • Set of two GOTS™ certified organic cotton bibs included
  • Zip open storage pocket on waistband that holds a smartphone the size of iPhone 8 and above
  • Innovative leg opening button adjustment for smaller babies
  • Removable and washable infant head support
  • Locking zippers are covered to add security and ensure no contact with baby’s skin
  • All-over comfort from even distribution of baby’s weight thanks to padded shoulder straps and a wide secure waist belt

It’s not just us that are fans—the CUDL™ 4-in-1 carrier has been recognized worldwide as an amazing baby carrier and was the Red Dot Product Design Winner of 2020. Parenting is tough enough, but you can make it just a little easier with the right gear. Shop Now for the CUDL by Nuna.

Now more than ever, parents want to keep their kids safe and a new product from Under the Weather is here to help. The company behind the WeatherPod, which gives families protection from inclement weather and bugs while spending time outdoors, has redirected their efforts to protecting the public during the pandemic.

Earlier this year, Under the Weather launched SafetyPods which were originally developed to help protect healthcare workers. The design was soon modified so everyone can use them and now the company has launched the ShieldPod Mini for kiddos!

ShieldPod Minis come in pink, blue and gray and pops open in seconds. Each one comes with an adjustable backpack, waist straps, clear panels that give a 270° view, armholes and a zippered front that makes it easy to move. The mini size is perfect for preschoolers through 10 years old and is super lightweight.

The $70 innovative pods are selling quick, with the gray color currently sold out. Want a matching set? You can snag an adult version for $80 or a walking pod for even more coverage ($110).
