Waffle with Smooth Raspberry Sauce and Strawberry Frozen Yogurt
If you have any relatives or friends with kids then you can easily realize that the new parenting style is much more different than the one you grown up with.

If your mood is low for most of the day, you sleep more than usual and crave carbohydrates and sweets that means you are probably having winter blues (or let say mildly SAD in medical terms). After devouring a large box full of chocolate covered delights in a few days (in general I am not really fond of it) and start falling asleep every night before ten o’clock (normally I sleep barely 6 hours a night) I should admit being on the verge of SAD especially.
