I DECIDED TO LOVE MY MOM BOD & HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED

Never in a million years would I have thought I'd be posting pictures of myself in swimwear, on the internet, especially after having a baby. When we started getting ready for our recent beach trip, the all too familiar feeling started to creep in that I've become so familiar with in the past.
