Self, meet fake-tanner. Fake tanner, Self.
Mamas - is anyone else in love with the bikini mix/match trend? It's been around for a few years...but it wasn't until recently that I realized how perfect this trend is for moms.
I never bought maternity swimwear...so my old bikinis got put through the ringer when worn all summer by a huge-bellied me. And...
Reader Polina left this comment on Lane's One-Piece Swimsuit Manifesto:
Mamas, could someone please suggest a swimsuit for those of us with a real pooch problem? Like when your pooch has plateaued at looking 5 months pregnant even though you have lost all the baby weight and than some?
I get it. I so, soooooo get it. As you may recall,...
Mamas, we take our job seriously here at Ain't No Mom Jeans. (I know you are thinking, "what job"? but I have a point. I do.)
We do consider it our job to not only find practical yet stylish inspiration for mamas who love to be involved with their kiddos, but to be very upfront about certain body issues that...
Being top heavy and nursing has made finding suitable swimwear a nightmare for this ANMJ reader this season.
R, my little toddler, was complaining about his old swimsuit. Apparently, being three, it bugged him when wet. He didn't like it flapping around his legs. He solved this problem, however, by simply taking it off. Which...OK...no biggie, but still. So when I found MiniBoden's Swim Trunks for toddlers.....oh, baby. So. Stinkin. Cute.
He feels like a super-hero (the lack...
Getting out of the house with a baby and a three-year-old is a total gong show. Getting out of the house armed to the teeth with suits, sunscreen, floats, buckets, sun hats, umbrellas and towels?
Madness.
But I love the pool. And R loves the pool. And Pax loves the pool. We are water babies, all of us. So it...
Are you ready for this one? This is a pic of gorgeous Esther from last summer. Merely weeks after her fourth kiddo was born.
Did you catch that? Her fourth. Just weeks after.

Looking good sometimes starts to feel like a New Year's resolution - especially come summer. I mean, I know what I SHOULD do (*cough* apply self-tanner *cough*), but that doesn't mean I feel like slathering that stinky stuff on after the whole bathing, reading, lotioning, taking back to bed, nursing, crying, taking back to bed, rocking, taking back to...
Here on The Mom Edit, there is much talk about ways to cover our postpartum stomach while clothed. Personally, I've flattened mine with shaper camis, distracted from it with deep v-necks and fun swingy tops...but baring it all in a swimsuit requires actual...baring.
Obviously we should all wear whatever the heck we want, whatever makes us feel good, but if...
Ok, Mamas!! Get ready....it's Swimsuit Confidence Week! We've teamed up with Lands End and the CurvyGirl's Guide, as well as 20 other bloggers to all loudly proclaim:
WE HAVE SWIMSUIT CONFIDENCE!
(as I use my cute baby to strategically hide the pooch)
Swimsuit Confidence week was started to celebrate women of all shapes and sizes, and inspire them to have fun this...
