This story is from 2019 and it still sticks with m This story is from 2019 and it still sticks with me.

We were at the pool and one of my boys came up and told me a kid had called me the fat mom. We all just sat there for a second, looking at each other. I asked him what he thought.

He said, “I told him to shut up. Most days you look like a princess.”

My boys were ready to defend me. They just knew it wasn’t a nice thing to say.

I struggled with how to respond. I want them to know words can hurt. I also want them to know they hold the only opinion that matters about their own bodies.

So I told them, “Mommy isn’t skinny. But that doesn’t matter. I love wearing a bathing suit and swimming with you, and I am never going to let someone else’s opinion stop me from doing that.”
If I had cried, or asked them if they thought I was fat, or left the pool, I would have taught them that someone else’s opinion had power over me.

That is not the lesson I want them to carry.

People need to see all bodies in swimsuits. When we hide, we send the message that our bodies don’t belong in the same spaces as everyone else’s. That is wrong.

Wear your swimsuit. Take up space. Show your kids that all bodies belong, including yours.

If I am fat, I am fat. That is part of who I am. It is not who I am.
I used to feel like I was “on” the entire time I w I used to feel like I was “on” the entire time I was on vacation.

Always looking for the shot. Always thinking about what I could post later. It started to take away from actually being there.

So I changed how I do it.
Before I go, I make a simple shot list. Not a schedule, just a few categories of content I know I want to come home with.

For this trip my list looked like:
-A water park post
-Favorite bites while we were there
-What I wore to the beach recap
-An aesthetic recap of -the whole trip
-Swimsuit pics for LTK
-A few extra images for carousels throughout the summer

For the water park, I knew exactly what I wanted before we even got there. It came out to about 8 images. I got them early, put my phone away, and just enjoyed the day with my family.

One trip. Content for the whole summer and I actually got to be there for it.

Save this before your next trip.  Follow for more digital strategy tips every Tuesday.  That’s what I’m here for.

Eating out on vacation is probably my favorite thi Eating out on vacation is probably my favorite thing about taking a trip. This time at the beach we tried a few new places and some unique bites. Here is my list. 
1. @parlordoughnuts - French toast donut was my favorite bite all vacation. The donuts are huge and a dozen lasted us 3 days. 
2. @gulfshorescoffeeco - I was excited for this because they were so close to our condo. The coconut cold brew was my favorite and the cans made it so easy to take the the beach. Kids loved the dirty sodas. 
3. @delsicecreamob - we have ice cream every night on vacation. The red velvet and the iced box lemon at dels was amazing. 
4. @hightidedaiquirismimosas - a new to us place. Came straight off the beach for the most satisfying lunch. Pizza paninis and waffles on a stick. Obsessed.
