They are the chefs who get meals on the table and lunches packed; the chauffeurs who get kids where they need to be; the doctors who bandage up scrapes; the listeners to problems big and small; the social directors of playdates and parties; and so much more. With all that they do, moms rarely get a moment to take a break and enjoy a bit of time for themselves. Dr. Wendy Walsh, busy single mom, TV personality and college professor, understands what it's like to be busy. Here are her tips for helping other moms sneak a little "me time." * All moms should take a guilt-free break during their busy day. Try arriving at school carpool early.

The granola bars are 150 calories and contain 3 grams of fiber*.
