Ever have one of those days where you just need chocolate? Where you can’t scarf it down fast enough? And you’re not even that picky what kind it is? You’ll even eat Nestle morsels that you were saving for the cookies you never have time to make? Well, I have those days. I had them before kids and I seem to have them even more after kids.

Chocolate has always been a stress reliever for me, albeit not as healthy as exercise, but a quick fix that gets me through the day. Because most moms know that, sometimes it’s all about just getting through the day. This is something that I made abundantly clear to my chocolate seeking husband the other day.

Ok, so I did buy him the Dove box of chocolates for Father’s Day. However, he knew that I was enjoying one, two, or five pieces from the box. So, why would anyone in their right mind leave one piece in the box where a mother working 10-hour shifts taking care of two very young active boys can get to it? Uh-huh. That’s right; no one would dangle one’s drug of choice in their face. Except for my husband, that is until I explained why it was a chocolate kind of day and I had every right to devour that last piece, not to mention that I would do it again. Nevertheless, do not feel sorry for him, I did let him have my last piece of stashed chocolate. (It really wasn’t that good.)

So, now I have to replenish my stash. Since my pregnancies, my taste in chocolate has become very refined. I prefer mostly dark and gourmet chocolates, because you don’t have to eat as much to become satisfied. And let’s not forget about all the supposed antioxidants that dark chocolate is supposed to be providing your body. Seems a little too good to be true, but I will go with it. If you need to replenish your stash, visit the chocolate page and treat yourself to fine chocolates. Let’s face it, every mom and working woman out there deserves a little piece of chocolate bliss to get them through the day.
