Candy makes everything better, don’t you think?  Especially when you’re enjoying it in the hiding spot that is your pantry. (Or closet, in my case.) That’s where this idea was born – in a moment of self imposed Time Out. A few deep breaths and a small pep talk (in the time it took to finish my lollipop), and I was ready to face the world (ie my children) again.  So the secret is more in the act of stealing a few moments to yourself when needed. And don’t forget to be kind to yourself, most of all.
