I don’t buy into the theory that nice guys finish last. In fact, I’m certain that nice guys finish first. It may not always seem that way, but in my book, being a kind person is one of the best things someone can be, and I’ve tried hard to impress this upon my daughter. If I want her to be a nice person, I know that I need to be a nice individual myself. I’m aware that I have to not just talk the talk but also walk the walk. There, it however, one thing that trips up my goal of modeling kind behavior: hunger.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I have the “I apologize for what I said when I was hungry” sign in my kitchen, because it’s true that I say less than kind things when my tummy is growling and that usually happens right before dinnertime. Saying that I become grumpy is a bit of an understatement. It’s a little Dr. Jekyll\/Mr. Hyde. That may sound dramatic, but when I asked my husband if it was true, he replied, “No comment.” So there you have it.<\/p>\n

Hunger makes me a different person, not one whom I like and not one who is as kind to the people I love as I should. Quick pick me ups like\u00a0SNICKERS\u00ae are key for both my happiness and that of my family, as well as achieving my parenting goals of modeling kindness.<\/p>\n

I’m a far better mom, one I like a whole lot more, after I get something in my tummy. This blog is based on the idea that mom need info to be their best, but moms also need energy, and SNICKERS\u00ae provides that boost.<\/p>\n

My latest favorites are the SNICKERS\u00ae\u00a0Peanut Butter Squared. I love the combination of peanut butter and milk chocolate, and with the addition nougat and roasted peanuts, these little guys are especially good.\u00a0 I think the bit of protein you get from the peanut butter stays with me and helps keeps me full and the chocolate keeps me happy.<\/p>\n

I love the fun size fun size, so small enough to fit inside a purse or a pocket (or inside a plastic Easter egg, should you be so inclined this weekend). And they’re just the right snack to alleviate the hunger that makes me cranky. I think of them as my kindness enablers.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s a Walgreens near my house where I like to stock up on my kindness preservers. You can find SNICKERS\u00ae\u00a0Peanut Butter Squared, SNICKERS<\/b>\u00ae Extreme and SNICKERS<\/b>\u00ae Almond. At my store, they’re all in the Candy aisle, also known as the land of goodness. You can find candy bars or go for the bag of fun size SNICKERS\u00ae\u00a0Peanut Butter Squared that I found a few steps down from the candy bars.<\/p>\n
