and a swimdress...

Well, that's a post for another blog that I'll someday start - about embracing my curves and feeling comfortable in my aging body, and not having stupid prejudices about swimdresses, and realizing that they're actually really great. Anyway, that blog would be called Stop Waxing and Get a Swimdress! or something like that.

and beautiful sunsets.



It's good to get away for a few days.

If you're ever in Guatemala, Posada de Santiago on Lake Atitlán is an amazing place to stay. The cabins and gardens are dreamy. The food is SUPERB. And, the lakeside pool-hottub-sauna-bar area makes for perfect days of sun, swimming, and relaxation.

    1. If you're ever in Guatemala, you're going to stay at my house, and we'll definitely do a weekend at the pool place ;)

  4. I totally find myself embracing swim dresses. I look back at women's bathing suits from the 20's and 40's and LOVE them. I'd like to see more of that style.
    This was a neat blog post I found with cool pictures of women's suits from back in the day.

  5. What a beautiful place. I were in Antigua some years ago, and it was a splendid place. Your family is very lucky.
