My boots have salt stains, my sweaters are pilly and my jeans are starting to look thin in all the notorious spots. I am SO ready to retire everything winter. Spring fever is in full effect and I’ve been dreaming of crisp, pretty things, spring cleaning, color and dazzling days. Now that my boys are both out of diapers (yahoo!) we have some free space in the ol’ budget, (sorry diapers.com), so just maybe some of these things will become a reality.
1) Tretorn Skymra – The boys and I have a lot of sidewalk to cover, might as well look cool doing it.
2) Porselli Ballet Flats – For the more girly days that I don’t have to kick soccer balls with the boys.
3) Penfield Kasson Parka Jacket – Because the boys like to jump in puddles and it’s really hard to hold an umbrella while pushing a stroller. This preppy, all-weather jacket may not be the best fit with the edgy Skymra high tops, but that’s what Hunter Boots are for, right?
4) Madewell Eyelet Hem Peasant Top – As a Mom you can never have too many tops that don’t drape open when you bend over for the thousandth time that day. This sweet, little top will be great with shorts all summer (and it’s on sale right now!). If you do have loose tops, I love Coobie Bralettes. They are pretty amazing – keeping things g-rated on the playground, but less annoying than a full camisole, which I’m usually tugging down.
5) Cosabella two-piece short pajama set – Okay, when I said lust list I mean it here. These are some pricey pajamas. My current pjs are all some sort of mix from Target, but wouldn’t this set be cute for making Sunday morning chocolate chip pancakes?
6) A set of waffle weave bath towels – In bright white, please. Nothing says fresh like upgrading your household soft goods. These waffle weave towels fold smaller and dry faster, so they are good for small apartments and no mildew (!) after that very sloshy toddler bath.
7) A three day juice cleanse – Reasons: Curious to try a cleanse; Juice Press just opened in my neighborhood and this winter I’ve eaten way too many discarded pizza crusts and left over Goldfish Crackers. I’m feeling a big sluggish.
8) A subscription to Blue Apron’s meal delivery service – One of the hardest parts about dinner is deciding what to make. Anyone use this service? Thoughts?
What mommy splurge(s) do you have on your wish list?

Love this list!! Those sneakers are the prettier version of my all black chucks.
I have had the same black leather bag for years, it’s so great I have not bought another purse in the last 3+ years so I would love a brown leather crossbody, when I clicked on your link to Madewell I found a great one.

Now that it’s warm enough to come out of hibernation, I’d really like a Fitbit, or an Apple watch in gold might work, too.

Wow, those PJs are pricey. Definitely cute. But also out of my price range.
I hadn’t heard of Blue Apron, but I have tried Hello Fresh, which I think is the same concept. We did the promo at a discount and I really liked it. DH thought it was too pricey at regular price, so we canceled the subscription. But, I’m still thinking that we should re-subscribe again. It’s really nice to eat “real” meals with fresh ingredients and they are healthy without having to think.

I so want to try Blue Apron or one of those meal services. I dread dinner so much.

I tried blue apron and while the meals are seriously delicious, there was far too much hands on time required to prepare with 3 little ones. With school age kids, I think it would eork fine!

I”m with @Mrs. Jacks! I haven’t been spending money at all lately and I would just LOVE to run out and do a bit of shopping just for me. Anything!

This is a fun list!
My splurge hopes are some great new jeans, some good flats like Tieks, and new workout gear!

@meredithnyc you are SO right! Glad that I didn’t buy those pjs – http://www.target.com/p/women-s-fluid-knit-top-and-short-pajama-set-gray-gilligan-o-malley/-/A-16672270#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=pajamas++women
