Hi, friends!

Did you know today is Take Your Kids to Work Day? I bet you know if you’re taking your kiddos into the office with you today! Around here, everyday is take your kids to work day because my little ones are always around while I’m working. Luckily, my hubby is on patrol while I’m upstairs in my office – but even though I work from home, I still feel like I’m missing out with the kids. It’s a classic case of mom guilt, I absolutely love my job, but I sometimes get torn about making the choice to work and not “stay home” with the kids.

I feel like to remedy this, I have to make good use of the time I do have with my kids. Make every moment count. We love doing fun things together as a family, and when I was chosen to be a HERSHEY’S Ambassador I was so excited because – hello, chocolate – but also because I knew it could lead to some fun activities to do with my kiddos! HERSHEY’S is trying to encourage families to choose happy – to find little moments in their day to just take a moment to smile.

For us, our Hello happy moment was to spend time together building treats! It was something simple, easy to set up, and FUN. We were sent a box with some HERSHEY’S products and we set them out on the table with the idea of building “sandwiches” – I don’t know why, but my kiddos LOVE making pretend sandwiches, so we just went with it! We all sat at the table together for over an hour laughing and making various “sandwiches” and I’ll tell you what – it’s the most fun I’ve had in a long time!
