Encourage Happy And Healthy Development During Bath Time! #SoMuchMore @Johnsonsbaby #Partner

*This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with JOHNSON'S® and Latina Bloggers Connect. All opinions are 100% mine.     As a new mom, I learned right away the importance of encouraging happy and healthy development during bath time with my babies. It became immediately apparent to me that bath time was an important part of ensuring that my babies had a restful sleep and I quickly established a bedtime routine that we followed religiously every night.     In the evening, my husband and I would bathe our son with JOHNSON'S® baby HEAD-TO-TOE® wash. Not only did we love its scent but we also knew that it was gentle enough for our son's delicate new skin. Smell in general can evoke powerful emotions, and a clean, fresh, after-bath smell appears to be no exception for parents in the US, especially Hispanic parents. Parents around the world spend 10 hours per month on average bathing their babies and 90% of Hispanic parents consider this a special time to bond with their … [Read more...]

My Promises To My Children… #PromiseToBaby #Partner #LatinaBloggers

*This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with JOHNSON’S® Baby and Latina Bloggers Connect. All opinions are 100% mine.     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 … [Read more...]

From The Mouths Of Babes… #YoureDoingOkMom #Ad

*This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with JOHNSON’S® Baby and Latina Bloggers Connect.   All opinions are 100% mine.       Ever since I found out that I was going to become a mother, I worried over whether I would be able to do a good job.  After all, being a mom could possibly be the most important role of a woman's life.  Unfortunately, however, parenting does not come with a handbook and children certainly don't come with instructions.     I love being a mom but, like most moms, I often wonder if I'm even doing this whole parenting thing right.  Luckily, my boys seem to think that I am the cat's pajamas and they remind me on a daily basis that I'm doing a great job after all.  I asked my eight year old son what I'm really great at and his response included, "Giving me hugs, taking care of me, scratching my back, and making sure my clothes are clean."     The old saying is so true, "From the mouths of babes…"  Who knew that scratching his back every … [Read more...]

Moisturizing Skin Care That Is Not Just For Babies! #JohnsonsBaby #Ad

Disclosure:  This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Latina Bloggers Connect and JOHNSON’S® Baby.  However, all opinions expressed are my own.     Every single time my husband is in my car, he complains that I never keep any lotion in the glove compartment.  You see, he has very dry skin and is used to having hand lotion in his own car readily available at his disposal.  We have always trusted Johnson's Baby with the care of our sons' skins so I thought it would be the perfect moisturizer to use on my husband's skin.     My husband has told me repeatedly that his dry skin issues are not just about dryness but that they also cause him discomfort that can only be alleviated when he hydrates his skin with moisturizing cream.  This is the reason that Johnson's immediately came to mind due to the fact that it has always been gentle enough for babies' skins but is also strong enough to lock in moisture in adult skin.     When our oldest son was born, one of my … [Read more...]
