Note from the Publisher: Chocolate, Chocolate & More Chocolate

April 22, 2014
Ever have one of those days where drowning yourself in chocolate is about the only thing to help you keep your sanity? Spring break + kids "bored" at home + lots of work for mom to do = an extremely high need for chocolate {because wine probably isn't acceptable at 10am, is it?} Oh, and throw on top of that a school project on castles for mini-mac #1 and some make-up math work on fractions for mini-mac #2 {on second thought wine might be necessary at 10am} and this mama becomes a wee-bit stressed out. 

While I wish I was that super-mom who could do it all with ease, grace, and a smile, I'm not. And, it's okay. Yes, my kids are playing video games right now. And yes, there is a half-eaten chocolate Easter bunny on my desk. But, it. is. ok. You know why? Because it has to be. Some days you just get through it the best you can knowing that tomorrow is a new day. And, I promise I'll exercise extra hard tomorrow, too, to burn off the excess chocolate. {No, really, I will!}

So now you know my secret to getting through the day when I'm having "one of those days", what's your secret to keeping your mommy sanity?


Peace, Love, and Macaroni {and chocolate}
