Oh boy! Let’s talk about kids for a moment. They are life’s greatest blessing, but boy can they drive you batty sometimes. One minute they’re bringing you a flower from the garden, and the next they’re covered head to toe in mud. All you can do is laugh at silly moments like that.
Today, I’m sharing some of those compromising moments parents have found themselves in…and how to combat them too!
You know you’re a mom when….
We run the household from sun up to sun down. It’s a lot of work. However, we’ll happily close our kitchen doors for a night off if we could. Sometimes that sweet gesture from kids to imitate your kitchen skills turns into a big mess….but it’s the thought that counts, right?!
Or how about the time your little artist is proud to display his fine works on your…walls! Take a deep breath and laugh it off. Of course you’ll need to explain the importance of using paper versus the walls next time, but removing crayon is an easier fix than you think.
So you send the kids outdoors to burn off some steam, only to find them covered in more chalk than the pavement. Has this ever happened in your house? It’s hard to resist laughing right along with them. Those giggles are contagious!
Thankfully chalk is easily removable with some soap and water. After their bath, it’s time to clean house…and teach the kids a thing or two about responsibilities. 😉
Some of my favorite P&G products are Tide Pods, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, and Cascade Complete Action Pacs. It’s the little details in P&G Household Needs products that make them different from other brands, which is why I rely on them for life’s sticky situations.
Skip the pre-wash with Cascade! With the power of Dawn, Cascade Complete Action Pacs let you end the pre-wash once and for all. Their easy to use and leave your dishes sparkling clean.
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is a life saver for so many reasons! The water-activated micro scrubbers can erase some of your toughest messes. I’ve used the Magic Eraser on multiple surfaces including walls and baseboards, bathroom tubs and sinks, and much more.
Tide is a brand I’ve grown up with, so it’s only natural that I’d pass those same traditions down to my two boys. The 3-in-1 Tide Pods easily tackled their “chalk wars” stains, while protecting the colors of their clothing. I like how easy it is to toss the pod into the drum of the washing machine – no extra messes!
By the way, you can find all of these great P&G products at Costco stores nationwide!
In what ways do you tackle life’s sticky situations?

We use the magic erasers on walls and appliances. They’re amazing! Btw, dogs can be just as messy (maybe more).
Jasmine Espinal says
Those are all must-haves for me too! Always something to clean up!
Leah says

I keep my house WELL-stocked with all three of those products!! Of the three, I think Cascade is my favorite, though.

I didn’t realize all these P&G products could be found at Costco. I go there often so I can pick them up.

I love Tide Pods! I use them all the time. I refuse to discuss the mess my husband brings in from the garden. He’s as bad, if not worse, than your boys!
Jennifer says
Haha too funny!
Holly Duce says
Ha! I love the way you captured all the kid’s messes in photos. Magic Eraser has saved me SO many times! Removed permanent marker from our hardwoods and crayon from our theater screen!
Jennifer says
Awesome Holly! Great to hear it works with permanent marker too!
Unboxed Mom says
Great pics and so true. Just reminded me I need a Costco run one day this week!
Shop with Me Mama says
Oh my goodness, I adore all your pictures! ALL of my kids at one time or another have drawn on the walls AND my couches!!!! Gah! Good to know these products can help me get my home clean again! Thank you!
Jennifer says

I feel like I am always cleaning up after my two boys. The Magic Erasers are a MUST for any household with boys!

I think no matter what the activity is, my grandsons always find a way to get dirty!
