a sweet escape - Natural hairstyle for mens and womens

     Happy weekend my friends:) Looking around at the craziness of life lately and realizing that it's really been a non-stop hustle for years now, I've pretty much accepted that there will never be a time when things 'slow down' like I keep hoping for.

     Life is not meant to be slow, not for me and my family, and not for most of us I imagine. Things will never stop coming at us, so we have to guard our private time more than ever. We have to create our moments of quiet and peace. They have to be deliberate and intentional, and so I'm very happy to be partnering up with Werther's Original in their effort to help people across the country enjoy more 'werth it' moments, to take the time to slow down and enjoy the little things.
     After the accident, there are so many things that we've simply not been able physically to do, so we've had more down time than is usual for us. But on the bright side of things, I've had more one-on-one time with each of the kids than I've had in a long time, especially with it being Spring break here. These are really the kind of moments that you don't forget as a parent and a child, and that's where the Werthers come in:)

     I don't know about most of you guys, but I grew up on Werther's Original candies. Richard and I both realized months ago that they brought back special memories to both of us from our childhoods. For me, it was going into my dad's home office and sitting down to wait until he was off the phone so I could ask him a question, or to simply visit him while he worked. He would smile as he continued his conversation, and then open the jar of Werther's on his desk and hand me one to suck on while I waited. Werther's have always reminded me of special moments like that, like sitting on my dads' lap or of his voice reading to me, and it's been such a special tradition to carry on in our house with my own children. They all love and treasure time with just the two of us, but you grab a bag of candy to share while reading a book together or catching up on their lives, and you're creating a memory that will stay with them... a sweet escape from everything else when they're reminded of just how much they matter to you:)
     Lately, we've switched from the hard candies to their newest flavor, Werther's Original Cocoa Crรจme Soft Caramels which have a rich chocolate filling wrapped in creamy caramel, and they've quickly become a favorite in our house. I've always loved everything from their product line whether from their hard candies to their sugar-free caramels and even the caramel popcorn, so finally having chocolate and caramel together is what all Werther's lovers have been waiting for.

     All in all, the faster we live life the less emotion is left in the world, because we don't have time to stop and savor and take everything in, to really appreciate things. That's why beginning March 27th, Werther's is helping fans and followers everywhere to have more 'werth it' moments by hosting a Cocoa Creme giveaway. For six weeks, fans can enter to win sweet prizes weekly, as well as a Luxury Spa Getaway Prize for two in Naples, FL at wertherscaramel.com . Because our time will fill up anyways without us working at it, and joy comes to us in the ordinary moments that we risk missing when we get too busy chasing down extraordinary moments. I really believe that once you stop rushing through life, you'll be amazed at how much life you actually have time for.

     Thanks so much for reading, and I'd love to hear of any traditions you have for escaping a bit, or encouraging yourself to take little breaks from your busy life.

Enjoy your Friday guys,
