Prepping for the Holidays with Little Hands

As the oldest daughter and the only daughter in law, I have taken it upon myself to host holidays. I actually love throwing parties–preparing my house is one of the biggest steps in the party process. I’m here to share you how my little man and I prep for the holidays.

My floors receive a lot of traffic–from dirty shoes to sticky crawling fingers these floors see it all. Because of this they often need a good clean wipe daily, but when company comes I have to break out the big guns and power clean them. I was lucky to find Bona PowerPlus, and I’m loving the way it’s making my wood floors look. 

The Bona PowerPlus has an oxygenated formula that removes heavy build up and deep cleans without all the extra scrubbing. I love that the solution comes in a simple spray bottle that you spray directly onto the floors, and then use the Microfiber Deep Clean Pad to wipe it all up.

My little man loves getting involved in household chores and who am I to stop him?! It’s great to start them at a young age so when they are older they know what is expected and can hopefully conquer those tasks on their own.

Bona’s PowerPlus simple spray bottle allows Bennett to work with me, while I am scrubbing he can spray. It’s a simple task but he loves it and almost thinks of it as a game. Below are other tasks that I have him work on while I am working on cleaning stuff that he isn’t able to do just yet. 
  • Make beds 
  • Put dirty clothes in hamper
  • Put clothes away
  • Pick up toys and books
  • Unload Dishwasher
You might say your little one doesn’t like cleaning, give it time they will love it. Make it a game– set a timer and see how fast they can pick up their stuffed animals. You can also have them find all the spots on the floor and spray them. My little loves to unload the dishwasher, because when he finishes he gets to wash the dishes (which essentially is play in the sink). 
This year get your little involved in cleaning, and use Bona PowerPlus to make scrubbing your floors a breeze.

As we pause to give thanks, my heart is filled wit As we pause to give thanks, my heart is filled with gratitude for the amazing family I was given. I recently was blessed with a new brother-in-law and being able to celebrate my sister and him during the week of Thanksgiving was so special. Here's to the shared laughter, comforting embraces, and the unwavering support that make every day a blessing. Happy Thanksgiving! #Family #Thanksgiving
We’ve all asked our kids to clean up after they’ve played. It’s a huge mess, and they don’t even know where to start. I don’t know about you, but tasks like that make me feel overwhelmed and I ask for help from @octiclean or my husband or someone (anyone). I’m not teaching my kids how to clean their room—I’m teaching them that sometimes there are tasks that are way too hard for one person to do on their own. That their is help available, and you just need to ask. 💙
We traveled the world Wednesday, and we’re sick We traveled the world Wednesday, and we’re sick Friday. 🤒 Hear me out though—you or your child can get sick anywhere. Target, a friends house, play gym, school—the list goes on. Yes we MOST LIKELY got sick at Disney, but did we have fun doing it? Yes. After we were locked in the house for that one sickness 3 years ago, I refused to not live. We got that sickness from someone entering our own house, not even being out in the wild. We’ve been to Disney tons of times, cruises, planes, and all the fun things since and honestly we haven’t gotten sick on or from our trips. So here’s to more adventures and stronger immune systems. 😬 Also, lots of vitamin c and all the good meds, cause I don’t say no to that.

We recently moved things around in C’s room. She We recently moved things around in C’s room. She got a new mattress, new princess @potterybarn sheets, and the most perfect blanket. We went to put in her in the bed and she got so upset that she wasn’t sleeping in her crib. Thank goodness I hadn’t taken it apart—I had only moved it to the other side of the room. At this point she’s still in her crib, and still loving her sleep! I’m just here to say that whatever schedule your other kids might have been on with development or changes—it’s okay if your other child isn’t ready. They will be ready and won’t go to college sleeping in a crib. 👏
