Today my husband and I went shopping for some new clothes.  I have a pathetic wardrobe of three jeans, one in which has a large whole at the bottom of the leg.  My shirts have been either in my closet for many years, or they just don’t fit properly anymore.  If you are like me, I spend all of my money on my children’s wardrobe, or it is just so difficult to go shopping with 2 kids,  I don’t bother.  Shopping now post-pregnancy is much more difficult than before.  I have to try on everything, and I am lucky if 1/2 of what I put in the change room actually fits.

Anyways, today we went to another city, to a department store that we don’t have in our city.  The deals were phenomenal.  There is something so exciting about buying a whole new mini wardrobe for cheap.  I love saving money.  Now, I get to give away a lot of my old clothes to the Goodwill, and replenish my wardrobe with new clothes, pants that don’t have holes in them, and a whole new attitude.  It makes you feel like a whole new woman.

Go out today and buy something for yourself, or do something for yourself and not just your kids.  It is good for your soul.  So many mothers give up everything for their children, they often forget about their own needs.  Its so important for mothers to not lose their own identity in the journey of motherhood.
