Great Escape: Comic Relief for Moms

Each week, we'll tell you about one great idea to give you a much deserved break, and make your life a little easier, maybe a whole lot easier.

Laughter is said to be the best medicine and a great escape from stress. Now that your kids have returned to school, you find yourself running back and forth from school to soccer to dance to music lessons, etc. You definitely deserve a night out.

Pizzi-Cerundolo, a mom herself, said she came up with the idea. 

"This weekend is special," she said. "We are welcoming all moms to have a fun night out at Chuckles!"

In order to get the discount, she said moms only need to show a picture of their kids.
