My husband and I like to get a quarter pound of fudge from Fudge Yeah, and eat a slice (or two!) in the evening as a treat with a cup of tea. This happens after the kids are in bed. Not because we don’t like to share, but, well, this is just for us. My current favorite is a teeny slice of butter pecan fudge.

I never realized that becoming a mother I had actually applied for a customer service job that was 24/7!  It’s an exhausting, rewarding job!  I don’t know about you, but having a small brood to care for is an amazing job!   One that requires a great deal of on the job training.  One of the best gifts of the job is being able to listen to other mothers and learn from their experiences and know-hows.

I have found that it is often easier to look after the needs of my children, than admit that I need to look after my own Mommy-self.  It is not an easy thing to do and so often Mom doesn’t get a break!  Who’s with me?

If you agree that you would like to have a little more time to look after resting and refreshing yourself, today is the day you can nominate yourself to win one of our three fabulous packages.  Of course you can still nominate a friend to win, as well.  We are drawing three winners from all our nominations for the three prize packages you will see: Monday, today and tomorrow.

We will be randomly drawing a winner from all our entries, on Friday, May 10th.  Until then, you can vote for a Mom you care about or you can enter for yourself!  Feel free to enter every day!  You can leave a comment on this post, yesterday’s post or head over to our facebook page.
