Tiny Bubbles (from May 30, 2006)

"There comes a time in every woman's life when the only thing that helps is a glass of champagne," said the venerable Bette Davis in the movie Old Acquaintance. For busy moms, that time usually comes at the end of a day that couldn't possibly feel any longer.

Test Bette's theory and make time today to buy a bottle of bubbly; you needn't spring for official French champagne -- sparkling wines work just as well. Before you start the kids' bedtime routine, stick a bottle in the fridge. When you're sure they're off to sleep, enjoy a glass with your husband and toast one another for being great parents. On your own? Then cheers to you for holding it together today.
