I’m back! Sorry for the long break…I’d thought I might squeeze in a few blog posts while I was on vacation, but I ended up just relaxing and enjoying our time off. No work, no blogging, no laundry…it was pretty great, not gonna lie! We spent the first half of last week in Austin, where we stayed with Ben’s grandparents. It was crazy to be there during all the flooding, thunderstorms, and tornado warnings. But we survived! We didn’t do a whole lot of sightseeing, what with all the scary weather…but the point of that trip was really to spend time with family anyways, and we did lots of that. Plenty of poker games, swimming in the pool, sitting on the porch and chatting, and of course lots of barbecue (hey, when in Texas). Plus, I got to see fireflies for the first time! The second half of the week we went to Friday Harbor, which is in the San Juan Islands here in Washington. I’ll share more photos later, but we had a great time there as well! One of the best parts of that trip was seeing a pod of orca whales from the ferry on the way home. SO cool.

While we were in Texas, the strap on my swimsuit started fraying and coming apart…so now I’m on the hunt for a new swimsuit! I still have a couple bikinis, but I always like to have one suit that’s a little more covering--but not a boring one piece. That combination can be hard to find, so I thought I’d share some of my favorite options with you guys. 

1. Front twist one piece - $210 / 2. Seersucker one piece - $115 / 3. Mix & match tankinis - $90 / 4. Scalloped one piece - $68 / 5. Set the serene one piece - $85

What do you think? Which one should I get?? I’m leaning towards those adorable mix & match tankinis from Kortni Jeane (the top photo and the middle one), but she’s out of stock in a lot of my favorite colors and patterns right now.

Name, please

   LOVE these! I have found a love for one piece swimsuits! I have never felt comfortable in bikinis and have been searching for some more one piece suits! I adore the palm like printed one! Trina Turk has great selection. Thank you for sharing!

   These are adorable! So difficult to pick a favorite. My husband bought me a navy and white polka dot one-piece for Christmas one year. For someone who has difficulty finding a swimsuit that fits right (i.e. probably all women!) I was thrilled when it fit perfectly and its still a summer staple. "Onesies" rock!!

     Yes! It's so hard to find one that fits just right. Good job to your husband!

   So glad you took a well needed break! I love the scalloped orange one :) (for my grand babe ;))
