*I wrote this post as part of my participation in a blog tour on behalf of TapInfluence and Glad and received compensation to thank me for taking the time to participate. However, all opinions expressed are my own. As the mother of two sons, I consider it my personal responsibility to teach them the life skills that they will need to be independent and productive members of the community once they become adults. This includes spending time with them teaching them how to take care of things around the house such as cleaning, cooking and doing laundry. Every week, we spend a family night reinforcing how to get things done in these areas and it is also a wonderful opportunity to bond and spend quality time together. This past week, I taught my boys how to get the kitchen ready for entertaining when the whole family comes over. We love to get everyone together for the holidays and it is important to make sure that the kitchen is clean and … [Read more...]
Tips For Child Safety In The Laundry Room! #ArribaYLejos @Tide @GainLatino #Ad
I have always been a firm believer in teaching children how to be self-sufficient. Part of imparting that independence unto kids includes modeling how to do certain chores like the laundry for them from an early age. Along with learning how to wash and dry their own clothes, it's important to show them how to safely and responsibly use and store laundry pods and other cleaning products or detergents. This year, I started teaching my eleven year old son how to wash his school uniforms since both of my boys attend private school. Although he is very mature and responsible, his nine year old brother is a little more curious so I have to make sure that they both learned the ins and outs of laundry room safety. Since my younger son watches his brother all the time, I had concerns about him being with his brother, while he is washing the uniforms, and improperly handling the laundry pacs. Here are my tips for child safety in the laundry room: Even older children need to … [Read more...]
Unlock An Unexpected Dose Of Joy! #MusicToYourNose @GainLatino @Gain #Giveaway #Ad
*I participated in this campaign on behalf of Gain. I received a promotional item to facilitate this review and as a thank you item for participating. All opinions are my own. Many people don't know a lot about the Bronx aside from what they have seen on television or in the movies. This borough of New York City is often depicted in a less than favorable light and we don't get the credit that we deserve for being full of decent and hardworking people. That is why I was so excited when I found out that Gain was coming to the Bronx to transform local neighborhood laundromats into something special. I immediately knew that this would help to spread an unexpected dose of joy throughout our community! This past Friday, I had the pleasure of meeting Bronx-born musician Leslie Grace, who has partnered with Gain, to showcase how art, music and culture collide to celebrate the launch of six community-decorated Laundromats throughout the Bronx, Spanish Harlem and Washington … [Read more...]
