Enjoying Life’s Simple Pleasures with Milano® and a Visa Gift Card Giveaway

I think we can all agree that as women, we lead busy lives.  Whether we’re mothers, wives, working women or (most likely) some combination, our lives are full as we try and juggle all of our responsibilities.  Even though we’re busy and we love our roles, it’s still important to take a moment for ourselves and enjoy some of life’s simple pleasures.  I think Pepperidge Farms® Milano® cookies are a perfect way to treat yourself and enjoy a quiet moment to pause and enjoy life’s journey.

I find my days are filled with blogging, cooking, photography, managing our household and still making myself available to our three kids.  My children are all adults, but even grown kids need their mom from time to time and I wouldn’t want it any other way.   With everything I’ve got going on, it can be hard to find a little time for myself. When I’m having a particularly busy day, sometimes just enjoying a simple pleasure for a few minutes is enough to make me feel refreshed and ready to tackle my next task.  It can be as simple as paging through a magazine while I enjoy a Milano cookie and a cup of coffee during the afternoon.

Do you have days where you haven’t been able to stop at all?  Maybe it’s an extra busy day at work, followed by picking your kids up from school and running them around to their activities, making dinner and finally getting the kids into bed.  When I’ve had a really busy day, I just want to put my feet up, relax with my husband and chat about our day.  A couple of Milano cookies, along with a glass of wine are a great way to make that transition from a busy day to a relaxing evening with my guy.

Remember, taking care of ourselves is just as important as taking care of our families and responsibilities, so make sure you take a moment or two for yourself every day.  What are some simple pleasures that you would enjoy along with a Milano cookie?  Let me know in the comments and you’ll have a chance to win a $100 Visa gift card.

ENJOY!
