I'm going off topic with this post. Since most of my readers are moms...I think you'll be able to relate to the following story.
We have to put our house on the market now. That alone is heartbreaking for me. I've been cleaning out closets and cabinets to prepare the house for showings. To add salt to my wound, I have had to face the truth about the contents of my closet.
As I sort through the extensive wardrobe, my rule is: If it doesn't fit right now, sell it! I am filling box after box of clothes in a vast array of sizes to sell at what will likely be the yard sale of the century. I'm okay with letting go of 'stuff'. I find it therapeutic. At least that's how I felt until it came time to sort through my swimsuit collection.
I must say, it was an impressive collection that told the tale of a 20-something, then a 30-something, then a mom...then, apparently a mom that gave up somewhere along the way.
My beachwear evolved from bikini, to tankini, to skirtini. Now I'm shopping for a burkatini.

When you find a burkatini, let me know! I need one.

Chrissy, I'll keep the prayers going for your family. I'm sorry that you have to sell your home, will pray that you are led to a place of blessing (in every way). I'm so glad you always keep your sense of humor-thanks!
Chrissy, I will be praying that you and your family are led to where you need to be. Remember that where one door closes another opens. Oh and the evolution of beach wear happens to us all unfortunately I have found that out myself this year.
I hear you on the evolution of the beachwear. As a mom in her late 30's, with two young boys, I have entered the realm of swimwear that is a)something that can get wet and b)something that covers my body without being to close to a tent.
Sigh. Time and time again, I have asked myself why our bodies are at their best as teenage girls? Doesn't it seem more wonderful to imagine that you would hit your 40s and then - suddenly - to have the best body of your life? You could eat whatever and still be young and FIRM??
Thinking of you.

I love it! But, I am sorry you are selling your home. Thoughts are with you.
