blissful inspiration

I am going to be completely straight with you…this week’s blissful inspiration post was created for purely selfish reasons. I grew up swimming, I loved it…our family vacations often times revolved around staying places with a pool. Sadly, my love of swimming did not continue and now I have a little one of my own. The vacation season is looming over our household and our b now realizes that there may be something pretty fun about this whole swimming thing. I, of course, turn to photos in situations like these…and I am so glad I did…

well friends, I do believe its time to dust off the old swimsuit and slip on the water wings. Who knows? I may find that swimming giddiness I have lost or at the very least enjoy seeing it on the face of my b…xo mrs. french

    swimming was my childhod as well. i had so many bathing suits hanging from my bathroom door that i could not close it properly. swam all day till i heard my mum call us in for dinner. now scared of thh bathing suit i rarely swim except on holiday at the beach or by the lake. these pictures make me want to change that.

    Wonderful set of photos. I love them. I just want to head out to the coast and dive into the sea now. Water is freedom to me. I hope you fall in love with water again.

    I adore these images….
    summer and swimming…aaah. These are taking me to a good place since in NY we’ve had nothing but rain for days on end with brief teasers of sun here and there.

    T-
    I don’t know if my photo deserves to be included alongside all these beauties. They take my breath away! I can certainly relate… we had a lovely pool from when I was 8-12 years old. I miss that feeling so much.
