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.

He’s a sweet kid, who loves to be silly. He likes his alone time to play, but also loves when his brother plays with him. He surprises me daily with all the things he knows, and I’m so blessed we’re going on our third year of learning together. He loves his baby sister something big, and she puts up with his shenanigans. We all love to watch him play and grow in baseball, and watching his skills develop over the years has been fun! Happy birthday sweet Bennett! 🎂

I kept thinking about party favors, and after chatting with some friends about ideas—decided on this! I loved that I wouldn’t be handing out candy or other items that may end up just thrown away. Also, ice cream was always served with cake as a kid so what better way to get your ice cream later 😉

Also, any other moms out there that their kid missed their siblings more than you? 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well, he enjoyed it and his teacher is literally the sweetest thing! How is your first week going? Any case of the kids say the craziest thing? I love the first day of school, and it’s such a special moment to watch and see how each child takes the day and runs with it. 💙

We love making these apple donuts—they are fun for the kids to decorate—add frosting, peanut butter, sprinkles, the list goes on!
