Top 3 Mom-Approved Swimsuits

Top 3 Mom-Approved Swimsuits

May 2, 2019 · In: Fashion

Summer is near, meaning swimsuits shopping is underway. As a mom of 3, I have found that this time of year has become more stressful than it was prior to having kids. Why has swimsuit season become so difficult?

New family, new body.

I knew that becoming a mother came with so many changes. My heart would grow in size as would my body as I carried each and every one of my kids for 9 months. After their birth, my body did what it could to ‘bounce’ back. We all know the challenges we all face during this time. So my bathing suits don’t quite fit the same way any more.

Finding that perfect mom-approved swimsuit.

Now to find that perfect swimsuit. When looking for that bathing suit, you need to keep in mind what aspects of your body you want to shine and if there are any areas you want to lessen. I never thought I would be a fan of one pieces until this past year. I LOVE one piece swimsuits! They are not only flattering, but they can be sexy as well.

I also am a huge fan of tops that provide not only support, but ones that I won’t be afraid of giving a surprise peep show at the beach while my toddler is crawling on me. Ladies, you know what I mean! As for the bottoms, this momma got back 😉 I need a bathing suit bottom that offers full coverage as well as a high waistband. The high waistband bathing suits are not only flattering when you find the right one, but they also provide the abdominal support that a lot of us mothers need after having babies.

My top 3 mom-approved swimsuits!

Target does it again! I found all 3 of these swimsuits at Target. You heard that right. What does Target not have that we can’t love and approve? All 3 of these suits offer support, coverage, and a bit of sexiness that we deserve as mothers and women.

Kona Sol Women’s Tortoise Ring One Piece Swimsuit – Kona Sol Animal Print

This suit is super cute on! V-neck top and a cheetah print that will have you feeling more than stylish. I have to add that the cinched sides are super flattering as well!

Top 3 Mom-Approved Swimsuits

Shade & Shore Women’s Tall/Long Torso One Shoulder Mesh Inset One Piece Swimsuit – Shade & Shore Black

Another one piece that will make you feel like a million bucks without showing too much skin. The mesh detailing gives the classic, one shoulder swimsuit a touch of sophistication and a sex appeal. Who said you couldn’t feel sexy while also being a mom?

Top 3 Mom-Approved Swimsuits

Kona Sol Women’s Twist Halter Bikini Top and High Waist Bottoms

Now I have a love/hate relationship with two pieces. They have to fit just right for me to feel comfortable chasing my kids around a beach or pool. This swimsuit is not only flattering, but is full of full coverage features. The halter top gives enough support while also providing enough coverage to prevent any unplanned peep shows from occurring. These high waist bottoms just might be my favorite pair yet! The full coverage back doesn’t make my butt look hungry and the ruched detailing on the front is very flattering. Plus, I love a good high waist bottom that provides support.

Top 3 Mom-Approved Swimsuits

 

Be proud of that body you are in!

Lastly, the summer time can be a time where we all concentrate too much on how we look. Remind yourself that you are beautiful in the body you are in. It was created perfect, and then it turned around and created even more perfect little bodies: those kids! Now go enjoy your summer 🙂

    That mesh one is SO fun, i love it!! And the bikini might actually work for me. I’ve been blessed with lovely stretched out wrinkly “twin skin” on my lower belly and high waisted is key haha! So cute, thanks for sharing!

      I have become a huge fan of the high waist bottoms since kids. I honestly don’t own a pair of regular bikini bottoms haha1

    I especially need tops with support and high waistbands. I didn’t realize Target had great options!

      The high waist bottoms are perfect! They give just the right amount of support 🙂 My go-to if I do a two-piece 🙂

HUGE fan of Odele products, like their Moisture Repair Shampoo & Conditioner ( for intense hydration to restore + nourish) as well as their one and only Air Dry Styler ( smooths, conditions, gives soft separation for air dry perfection and made with plant proteins). 

Did I mention their products are also Sulfate-free, derm-tested, cruelty-free, vegan formulas made with 100% natural fragrance or none at all?! I mean, what else can we ask for?! Oh and this super cute tote bag is a huge bonus 🖤🤍

2 chicken breast ( butterfly them open)
1 1/2 cups of bread crumbs
~ 1 tbsp Aglio Olio Seasoning Blend ( Trader Joe’s)
2-3 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 roll bread of Garlic Parmesan Butter ( from TJ)
Pack of noodles ( Gigli from TJ)
4oz Cream Cheese
12oz Shredded Italian Cheese ( Quattro Formaggi from TJ)
1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella cheese 
Mozzarella Peals 
16 oz Chicken Bone Broth
Salt & Pepper to taste ( plus salt water for pasta)

Preheat oven to 350.
Prepare noodles, drain and set aside- want to be al dente.
In small bowl, add Aglio Olio and bread crumbs to bowl and mix; butterfly chicken breasts and toss in olive oil, then cover in bread crumbs mixture.
Heat about 1 tbsp of oil in Caraway saute pan, and cook chicken for about ~4 minutes each side. Remove chicken and add cheese on top and place in oven to bake for ~15 minutes.
While chicken bakes, add the butter to sauté pan and melt; add chicken bone broth; once heated, add cream cheese and cheeses. Stir on and off ( make sure cheese doesn’t stick and burn) and add seasonings. Once cheeses have melted, toss in pasta. Sprinkle rest of cheese on top as well as scattered mozzarella pearls. Put lid on and lower heat to low, allow to cook longer to melt cheese. Serve with chicken!  #FriendsOfCaraway #traderjoesfinds #traderjoeshaul #onedish
