Get kids involved in chores and cleaning

Back in June, my brother sent me a link to a story about getting your children to help around the house without resenting it.

Huggies Wipes… A Mom’s Best Friend

If there’s one thing I’ve learned since joining the mom club, it’s that babies/toddlers are a messy crew. Since I’m not particularly attached to any certain cleaning products and I also like anything convenient, time-saving or easy… baby wipes have changed my life. As a first time mom, I only bought baby wipes with the intention to use them on my baby. Little did I know they’d become…
