Swimsuits for Littles

A few months ago some fellow bloggers and I were invited to the Mud Pie showroom in Atlanta for a sneak peak of their incredible home decor, clothing, and accessories. Aside from wanting to move into their space and purchase everything I saw, we really learned a lot about this amazing brand. They are a family run business out of Stone Mountain, GA and are very active in the community; providing support to numerous organizations with financial and product donations and employee volunteer efforts. I am definitely more inclined to support businesses when I know they give back, and apparently I’m not the only one!

I really love how Mud Pie has matching pieces for boys and girls so you can still coordinate if you have opposite genders! These crab swim trunks are SO cute on Henry and just scream “welcome to the South!” and it doesn’t get much cuter than a red polka dot ruffle on this crab one piece. My favorite however is the Flamingo Ruffle, of course! I love how the flamingo neck creates a strap for the suit and the ruffles mimic actual feathers. A few other styles I am obsessed with: Seersucker Ruffle Bow (OMG), Flamingo Coverup, and Fish Lure Swim Trunks. All of the Mud Pie swimsuits sell for under $40 and a lot of the styles are currently on sale. If you are looking for a some unique pieces, be sure to check them out!

Goldfish Swim School

Back in February Henry started taking weekly swim lessons at Goldfish Swim School, a brand new swim facility near our house. I was a little hesitant to enroll him because the summer before he never really caught on when we signed him up for a few lessons. After his first lesson at Goldfish he was hooked. The 30 minute lessons are perfect for his energetic self and he truly looks forward to swim class every week. Although Henry is still working on his confidence, he has acquired all the skills to be a great little swimmer. Goldfish has everything I’m looking for in a swim school for kids. The staff are always friendly, welcoming and helpful. The instructors are well trained, attentive, and interact nicely with children. They are patient, positive, and encouraging. I love how energetic they are and they all seem to truly love what they’re doing. There is a lifeguard who is constantly walking the pool during classes and monitoring the kids. I absolutely love the small group lessons which have 4 kids or less. There have been a few times when Henry has been the only child in class and wound up getting a private lesson.

Everything in Goldfish has been specially designed and created with children in mind. From the colorful chairs to the changing stalls, this swim school caters 100% to children. I love the adorable blow dry station which has plenty of hair dryers and the swim suit drying machines are pretty genius. There are multiple changing stalls, bathrooms and cubbies as well as showers for the kids. Every inch of this amazing swim facility is extremely clean and never smells like chemicals. The indoor heated people is kept at 90 degrees all year long and there is a separate air conditioned viewing gallery for parents to watch lessons or work. Goldfish also has an extremely flexible make up policy. We all know how schedules can change and they have always been so accommodating when we’ve had to make up a class or change the date (they also do not charge extra for make up classes!) We’ve had such a positive 10 weeks at Goldfish and I am certain that is the main reason Henry has adapted so easily.
