Thirtysomething wife and mama to three kids who are known to the blogosphere as T, A & E. We live in Maine with the kids’ dad, R – who also happens to be the boss of our marketing agency. The fun never ends, I tell you. Currently trying to remember how to take care of a baby, due to the four year age gap between A and E. In my spare time (HA!) I take endless photographs of the tiny humans and sew ill-fitting clothes for A. Me, in three words: always perfectly imperfect.
Earlier this week, a post appeared in my Facebook newsfeed that said something along the lines of "Thanks, now I know what each of your children look like and what grade they are in." As if I needed a reminder that I'm smack dab in the middle of "Club 30", the prevalance of back to […]
When I found out I was unexpectedly expecting Baby #3, part of me began mourning the loss of the family of four. We had just reached "the sweet spot" with the big kids – everyone was using the toilet on their own, everyone was sleeping through the night, R and I were beginning to remember […]
My biggest little girl is starting kindergarten this week. All summer, people have been asking if we're ready, and all summer we have answered the same way. A says "I'm so excited!", and I say "She's so ready." What I do not say is "I'm not ready." I was not ready to send T, but […]

Hehehe! Buying swimsuits has to be my least favorite thing to shop for!
Ugh, I know. The WORST!
Definitely my least favorite thing to shop for. I think my last succes was mail order from Victoria's Secret and it actually worked! I figured it was a chance in a million for that one.
That is lucky! I hope you played the lottery that same day!
YES! Why must stores put out bathing suits right when everyone’s feeling their fattest? On a side note, did you know that Target offers free store returns, and free shipping over $50? Order those things online in another month, and just return to the store what doesn’t fit…boom, no scouring store racks for your size or wondering if it’s juniors!
Gold Star, Leslie! I think I even get free shipping on any amount because I have a Target card, but I never thought of doing this online. I will now!
I love Target, but know exactly what you mean about them putting swimsuits out in the middle of the winter. I have thankfully not looked, because I probably would buy too and don't feel bad, because what you did with tthe juniors sizes is so something I would and could do!! Thank you so very much for linking up with us!! 🙂
Happy to link up! You are smarter than I to bypass the swimsuits in winter. Next year, I will know better. 🙂
I have done the same thing with the juniors department at Target! Except with pants. I thought that I must be going up a size since pregnancy (because I never buy new clothes anymore), but then I realized it was juniors. They must make their sizing more clearly marked, or they're going to continue to have a lot of annoyed women on their hands.
So glad it's not just me!
Buying swingsuits is such a hard task! I know I've had my fair share of returns in that department!
They should offer wine in the bathing suit department the way they offer champagne in bridal shops. It’d make the whole process better!
