Do what?! Who is this person who once said that yoga pants or running shorts do not an outfit make!?
Before I became a mom, my spending/splurge list looked kind of like this:
- Designer handbags
- Fancy shoes
- Pedicures every 2 weeks
- Fancy manicures to go with those fancy toes
- Lots of sunglasses
- Heels for each outfit
- Concert tickets
- Nights at the bar
But when you become a mom...
that list tends to change.
No, the spending and splurging doesn't necessarily stop, although it does slow down. What really changes, though, is what you splurge on.
If I am going to splurge on myself, it's usually on something like this:
- A haircut...yes, you read that right... a hair appointment is a mom-splurge these days!
- A pedicure... oh, but I assure you they are not bi-weekly anymore!
- Ballet flats
- Salon shampoo/conditioner
- Anti aging skin care
- Yoga pants or leggings
Or if we want to look at household splurges, they tend to look like this:
- Preschool tuition... ok, so it's not a splurge per se but it's a huge chunk of change!
- Tickets to see characters from Disney or Nick Jr *live*
- Dance class tuition
- That toy you couldn't leave behind in Target
- Redoing spaces in your home to be more toddler-friendly
But you want to know what the cool part is?
I would have it no other way.
So, what are some things that ya'll splurge on?
xoxo,
Linda

So true. I "splurged" on some clothes for myself at a thrift store the other day lol. Hadn't gotten myself anything new in months. My current upcoming splurge is Noah's fancy computer math curriculum for the year. It's way more than I usually spend, but it looks fantastic, and education is not the place to cut corners!
