Regardless of commission, all opinions expressed in this post are my own. For more information, please review our site policies . As the weather warms up here in New England, it's the perfect time to give your wardrobe a little spring refresh. After months of layering up, our favorite basics—like tee shirts and tank tops —can start to show signs of wear. Whether it's stretched-out necklines, faded colors, or mystery stains that just won't budget, spring is the ideal season to replace those go-to pieces. As moms, we're so focused on taking care of everyone else that it's easy to overlook our own needs. But something as simple as replacing a few well-loved pieces can be a form of self-care —reminding us that we deserve to feel comfortable, confident, and put-together, too.

A Tag and Are YOU It?

I was tagged nearly a week ago by Sherri Jo @ The Adventures of Kitchen Girl. (Sorry it's taken me so long to do this, girl!)

The golden rules of tagging:
# Link to the person who tagged you
# Post the rules on the blog post
# Write six random things about yourself
# Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog
# Let the tagger know when your entry is published

Six random things about me:

1. While I love fresh blueberries, I can't bring myself to eat them warm or after they've been baked into something, like muffins or pies or cobblers.

2. My commute to work (one way) consists of walking 3.5 blocks.

3. I prefer chunky peanut butter and butter on my English muffins. The chunkier the peanut butter, the better.

4. I have a Master's degree in Music History.

5. When I was younger, I begged my parents to let me put "tonsils" on the tree come Christmastime.

6. I'm currently reading Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortensen and David Oliver Relin.

Tag! You're It.

    Jo - It was fun! Once I finally got around to it! ;-)

    As for the "tonsils"... When I was younger, I confused the word "tinsle" with "tonsil." So while it sounded like I was some sick twisted child, I really just wanted to put strands of silver all over the tree.

    Kevin - My commute used to involve taking a train from Connecticut to New York, so this is much, much better. :)
