It seems like we moms live more in our swimsuit cover-ups than we do in our actual suits. Half the time I can't get in the water because one of the kids has to go to the bathroom or they're hungry and we need to hit up the snack shop. I also like to hide my skin from the sun because I've noticed way too many sun spots over the past few years, and I'm also hiding the bloated stomach from the cupcake I inhaled last night. Whatever the excuse is, here are my top 10 reasons why you should be flaunting your bathing suit cover ups this summer.
