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.

What's for Dinner: February 28 - March 6

(My eyes are actually welling up as I write this...)

I know I should continue to push for what I need. But, honestly, I don't want to risk yet another reminder that no one is listening. My cup is almost empty and I'm not sure what another disappointment might do to my spirit.

So I'm going to keep my head down and try and find comfort in the routine. Maybe I'll make another cup of coffee... Hopefully, things will get better soon, and that I won't feel like this for much longer.

While I do that, why don't you check out what I've planned for dinner at our house this week? And if you have any tips to help me recenter, then drop them in the comments!

As always, thank you for being here. I am grateful for each and every one of you.
