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.

While I figure out how to dig up the energy to push through these next few days... why don't you check out our menu plan for the week?

PS. Is there anyone else out there who wishes they could do more right now but doesn't have the energy to make it happen? 🙋
