Family Friday: Recycled Zipper Rashguard
This post may contain affiliate links and CorporetteMoms may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
I’m always scrambling to buy swimsuits on the eve of summer camp, but not this year!
This long-sleeved rashguard is made from over 80% recycled polyester. It’s easy-on, easy-off with a half-zip closure, elasticized leg openings, and stretchy fabric. And, as a rashguard should, it provides excellent sun protection — UPF 50+.
Gap Kids’ Recycled Zipper Rashguard starts at $19–$35 (on sale!). It comes in four colors/prints and sizes XS (4/5) to XXL (14/16). The navy-and-white stripe pattern is also available in girls’ plus sizes L (10) to XXL (14/16).
P.S. Happy Easter and Happy Passover to those who’ll be celebrating this weekend!

Is there a “golf sandal”?”….comfortable sandal that you wear around before you put your golf shoes on? Something better than a flip flop and more of an athletic type style?
My daughter has had some version of this gap swimsuit every summer and they are her absolute favorite.
My son is 5.5 and skinny. He’s too skinny for a lot of 5T clothes, even though the length is okay. He’s too small for kids XS. What do I put him in? So far, I have been having him wear too short 4T stuff since it fits around his waist.
Trying to figure out if my giant box of Kinder eggs from Costco is part of the recall. It looks like no, but then some Italian kinder eggs were recalled which makes me nervous. thoughts?
Happy Friday!
What are your favorite board/cards games for 5-6 year old kids?
Anyone have tips for dealing with something like PTSD from a prior birth in the week or two leading up to another birth? I thought I had been working through my feelings and issues, but they are flooding back badly. I am having a hard time doing anything besides cry all day in my office. I am 39 weeks now and had a check for dilation yesterday and it brought back such strong feelings and flashbacks from my birth 3 years ago that I can hardly cope. I have been trying to prepare for this birth with positive thinking, hiring a doula, visualizing things being better this time, etc. Now I am feeling like a fool to think anything would be better and realizing I should have been preparing for the worst case scenario all along.
Vent ahead. My bachelor’s degree is in music performance. I “retired” from music at graduation because I needed a steady income with health insurance and couldn’t move back in with my parents like all my classmates who pursued performance careers. I did not do anything musical for years and years and years. I have recently started doing a tiny bit of volunteer music and I am totally obsessed. I performed last night and now I can’t get myself back into real work mode. I just want to quit my job, start practicing again, and make music all the time even though I know that ship has sailed and it was never a viable career anyway. I am so sick of managing people and clients and projects. I just want to do what I’m really good at. Getting a little taste of it is almost worse than having given it up entirely.
Does this exist? I need to get a medical alert bracelet (for myself, not kid). Any recs for something that will clearly signal what it is but that isn’t cheap/terrible looking? Something I won’t hate seeing whenever I look down? My searches are admittedly short since I am exhausted and medicated and overwhelmed (three ER trips in three days) but everything that pops up is not sparking joy.
Posted late yesterday; trying again. Looking for recommendations for:
1. Financial advisor in San Francisco/Bay Area;
2. Maternity swimwear that will accommodate a disproportionately large bosom;
3. Maternity beach/pool coverup
Later two are for a bachelorette party for a future sister-in-law. TIA!
Researching going to St John USVI next April vacation for my in laws 50th wedding anniversary. Our kids will be 6 and 1.5 years old then looking at renting a house. There will be 6 of us total. Has anyone gone there with kiddos and do you have any recommendations? Thanks In advance!!
We just got new dining room furniture, which we really needed, and I’m struggling with buyer’s remorse. The new set has lots more seating room, which is great. But I let myself get talked into a “distressed” wood table and chairs. I thought it made sense because we have small kids who may occasionally scuff up the table anyway. But now it’s arrived, and I basically hate the way it looks. There are huge dents all along the edges (but only there), and then random tiny holes in various places. It’s not like the imperfections of real wood; it just looks more like we had what was a perfectly nice table and then just deliberately beat it up for some reason. And none of our other furniture is the distressed kind, so I don’t think it fits the rest of the house. I’m just really struggling with having paid so much for something I find viscerally ugly, and now I’m stuck with looking at it and eating off it every day for years. What would you do? How do I get over this? It’s not something we can easily return or exchange because it was “custom,” and supply chain issues meant it took forever to arrive in the first place. But ugh, it’s really bothering me.
