Savor the Moment with Pepperidge Farm® Milano® Cookies (+ $100 Visa Gift Card Giveaway)

Being a mom is hard work! I give so much credit to parents that juggle work and kids, I don’t know how you do it. Sometimes I feel like there is not enough time in the day to get everything done on top of being the best mom I can be to my adorable 4 year old twins that are my world. Why do the hours in the day seem to go by so fast?
I have been fortunate to be able to stay at home and be a full time mom, but there are moments during the day that I need to turn off the noise and have a little me time. From the kids chasing each other around the house, hearing them play the same song again and again (yes, I need to “let it go”) or kids just being kids, sometimes mommy needs a moment to herself too.
I’m sure many of you can relate to this, right? #mommyneedsatimeout
My kiddos are in preschool a few hours each day. It’s the fastest two and a half hours. I drop them off at nine feeling like I have all the time in the world and before I know it it’s time to pick them up. I do miss them when they are gone, but I also love when I come back home after dropping them off at school to a quiet house.
When the kids are in school I enjoy curling up with a good book or magazine, pour a cup of coffee and just chill. I usually give myself 30-45 minutes of time to myself and the remaining time before I get the kids to do housework, run errands, etc…
Often you can find me lounging on the couch while the kids are at school with a cup of coffee and one of my all-time favorites – Pepperidge Farm® Milano® cookies. I remember the first time I had one; it was love at first bite. What’s not to love about these delicious cookies with an irresistible filling? These beloved cookies come in a variety of flavors such as Mint, Double Chocolate, and even Raspberry and Dulce de Leche. My personal favorite is milk chocolate, it’s simple and classic.
Have I mentioned Milano cookies are perfect for dunking? What I love to do is take my stash of Milano cookies (yes, I hide a package just for just ME) and while I’m relaxing, reading or even blogging you can find me dunking them into a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee.
So go ahead and take a moment for yourself, you deserve it. And enjoy it with a tall glass of milk and a yummy Milano cookie.

When I take a moment for myself I love to make a cup of coffee and enjoys sitting on my deck watching the birds!
For a “me moment,” I like to step outside to see what’s happening in the natural world around me–what birds are singing or are at the feeder, what clouds are in the sky, which way the tide is flowing, whether any interesting insects are nearby, how the flowers are doing–and maybe even learn something new.
