Becoming a mother has been the greatest joy of my entire life. Despite my many other accomplishments, whether academic or professional, motherhood has been the most rewarding and truly the role that I want to be remembered for.
As a mother, there are certain promises that I have made to my children that will be true for their entire lives. These promises coincide with what I deem to be my responsibilities as their mother.
Although the list of promises that I have made to my boys is extremely long, I tend to focus on the top five when we are going through our daily lives. These are the five most important promises that I vow to my two sons:
- I will keep you safe from harm and protect you at all times.
- I will love you unconditionally for the rest of your lives.
- I will always be there for you, to support you, no matter what.
- I will teach you right from wrong.
- I will always be there to listen, without judgment.
JOHNSON’S® Baby listens to moms and have always provided only the safest products. They recently took a stand and changed their formula to give moms peace of mind when using their products. As a way to express their commitment to babies everywhere, they have launched the video “Your Promise is Our Promise.”
Make sure you view the video and share it with other moms! This Japanese inspired video shares a legend of folding 1,000 origami cranes to result in a wish granted and a promise fulfilled, which is thought to be a big labor of love.
The JOHNSON’S® Baby Family is excited to introduce you to seven newly reformulated products:
- JOHNSON’S® Baby HEAD-TO-TOE® Wash
- JOHNSON’S® Baby Lotion
- JOHNSON’S® Baby Shampoo
- JOHNSON’S® Baby Shampoo & Conditioner for Thick and Curly Hair
- JOHNSON’S® Baby Shampoo & Conditioner for Thin and Straight Hair
- JOHNSON’S® Baby Shampoo with Calming Lavender
- JOHNSON’S® Baby Soothing Vapor Baby Bath
As part of my commitment to my boys, I am comforted by the fact that JOHNSON’S® Baby made the decision to stand up and change their product formulas to put moms at ease. This certainly helps me to be able to keep promise number 1 on my list, to keep my boys safe and to protect them at all times.

The first thing to come to mind is that on the day they were each born, I promised to do anything to love and protect them for their whole lives.
My promises to my kids are that I will always be there for them and always be honest with them whether they want me to or not.
I promised that if they ever find themselves in trouble, they can call on me, any time of day or night, without punishment. We’ll figure the details out later, but if a friend had been drinking and is the driver, or they are someplace they don’t feel safe, I don’t want them to not call me because they fear getting in trouble!
Awe, very sweet. I told my son the other day that I promise to love him forever and that no one will ever love him like his mommy. 🙂
Your vows made my eyes fill with tears. I see your photos and I know how much you love your children. Beautiful! You’re such a good Mom. My promise is to forever love my daughters without judgement 🙂
This is so lovely! And what perfect vows for your children! I have no doubt you are fulfilling everyone of them!
I am very glad that Johnson’s redid their formulations of their products. I have always trusted Johnson’s products now I will even more. I love the top five promises you have made to your children.
What a lovely post. My biggest promise to my children is to love them unconditionally.
I appreciate how you point out that although your list of promises, like any parent’s list, is very long, you focus on the top 5 (which are hard enough!). Anyway, nice to know that J&J are making an effort to give parents peace of mind about their products.
You are such a great mom, I have heard a few people say their greatest accomplishment is their degree or their job position at work and all I can think is – but you have children, they should be your greatest accomplishment. We are still a Johnson & Johnson family, both of my boys were raised with their products.
Such a great mother! My children are grown and gone and now we are expecting twin grandbabies sometime around Christmas and Johnson and Johnson has been a product I trusted with my own kids and now we will definitely be using for the new babies! Love their products.
I promise to be the best mom I possibly can be to my son. I’ll keep him safe and work to raise him to be the best person possible. I love Johnson’s products. We have many in our house!
I promise to always do the right thing for my kids, even when its tough!
Beautiful. Every parent should make those same promises to their kids – and keep those promises!
My promise for my children is to always do my best and love them unconditionally.
This is a lovely post,I promise to love my kids unconditionally and always protect them amongst so many other promises.
This is so sweet – I hope you shared this with your boys. What a great mom you are!
This is so beautiful. I should make a similar list like this for my kids = )
Great post! I promise that my kids will always be loved, safe, and protected for as long as I breathe.
Those are pretty sweet promises! I promise to always take care of my son and try to be his friend but also his parent.
Those are nice promises.. i agree with them and try and do the same for my kids.
As the momma to a little one with special needs, I have promised to meet him wherever he is at in life and not force him to come to me. Not in a physical way, but in an everyday life kind of way. Most people don’t realize how that little step can make a huge difference in the life of someone with special needs. 🙂
My promise to my child is to love him for him unconditionally and to never make him feel he isn’t good enough.
Those are beautiful sentiments. I think unconditional love and forgiveness are two things I promised my children.
These are all great. I have a lot of promises for my kids and I will keep them.
My promise is very similar to yours that I would always be there for my kids no matter what happens. I remember using Johnson and Johnson with my oldest. I don’t use their products now since I tend to go more all natural now but they’re the #1 name when it comes to baby products.
Great promises for your boys! I’m sure they’ll really treasure all you do for them 🙂
Those are wonderful promises! Especially the unconditional love one. Above all, children need love. With love, all the rest fall into place. 🙂
I’m not a parent yet, but I really think you should let your boys read your promises to them 🙂 That will mean so much!
You’ve got some great promises listed there. We like Johnson & Johnson products here, and have for a very long time!
My aunt always used Johnson’s products on my cousins. I used to love the smell of the shampoo and creams and used to beg to get some for myself. I was about nine then.
I love the promises you made to your children! I also love the Johnson’s line… so much that I use some of the baby products for myself as well!
Awww… love the promise you made to your kids.. Johnson’s products have been in our home even before I had my little ones.. always loved the smell of the baby products…and it worked well on my skin, too
I promised to always love my children and support them in their dreams.
I love this! I promise to always be there to listen and support my children. I hope they will always know this.
Wonderful promises you have made to your children. I do have to say, I am now curious what Johnson and Johnson have changed. We used to use their products a lot.
