The Holiday Toilet

{I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Charmin. I received product samples and a promotional item to thank me for my participation. #TweetfromtheSeat #IC}

Discover why Charmin Toilet Paper is the Essential Component of your Holiday Entertaining!
I never pictured myself living with four boys.  FOUR.  BOYS.  Between my husband and three boys there’s a lot of dude-ness up in there.  People either tell me I’m so lucky to be the “queen” of my household or they look very, very concerned.

And depending on the day, either group could be right.  Sometimes, my kids collect rocks for me and make me rainbow loom bracelets.  Sometimes, I’m at the dinner table and I get to listen to a chorus of burping and other noises I’d prefer not to mention.   It’s a mixed bag of pleasant and gross.  But, that’s motherhood for you!  It’s fine.  I’m dealing.

I just wish they’d develop some proper bathroom habits, you know?  What “queen of the household” wants to fall into a toilet because someone forgot to put the lid down?  And what about flushing?  Come on, already.  It’s soooo simple.  And the toilet paper?  Does it look like a toy?  I swear, if I got paid for every roll of toilet paper that got unrolled and strewn across my house like crepe paper streamers, I’d be rich.  Rich.

Can you tell this is a hot button with me?  Unfortunately, I think it’s going to get worse before it gets better.  I’ve still have one little one left to potty train.  Regardless, there are a few things I do to keep things as pleasant in our family bathrooms as possible.  Especially during the holidays, when we are often entertaining guests.

The Holiday Toilet - www.MomFavorites.com
First up – A children’s potty in every bathroom.  Has to be done.  When a kid runs into the bathroom and there’s not a toilet option that works for them, they take care of their needs anyway.  And to be frank, that’s just plain unpleasant.

Second – Cleaning wipes.  For misses and oops.  It’s still a mystery to me how boys can miss such a large target.

Third – Plenty of Charmin.  On the rare occasion when someone actually remembers to flush, we want it to go down.  ‘Cause I’m just not a fan of using a plunger.  Especially when I’ve got guests.  Who wants to eat cookies made by the lady that just unclogged poo from the toilet?  Not me, my friends, not me.

Charmin and Roto-Rooter, America’s largest provide of plumbing and drain services, have teamed up to remind consumers of the clog-free and septic-safe guarantee that only comes with Charmin.  Plus, you can use up to four times less tissue with Charmin Ultra Soft and Ultra Strong toilet paper.  So even if it does get strewn around the house, there may be enough left for it’s original purpose!

And now, for their debut as product reviewers, allow Graham and Will to share with you why Charmin is an essential component of holiday entertaining:
