There are a lot of things “they” warn you about before having kids: You’ll never sleep again. You’ll be broke. You’ll never have a second to yourself. You’ll love them to death. And yes, all of these are true. Very, very true.
But the one thing dirty little secret that no one is sharing with you? Being a mom is MESSY! I am stunned daily on how much mess I contend with. With three young lads, I encounter an insane amount of poo, pee, blood, stains, spills, and general crud on a daily basis.
Need proof? Here ya go:
First time with Spaghetti-O’s. That was fun to clean up.
The smash cake sounded like a good idea, until this happened.
He’s smiling because he knows he won. He’s right, too. No more spinach for him.
I’ve been told that I should learn to expect this from boys.
This was the day my oldest child decided he was going to turn himself into a Cheetah by drawing on his face with a sharpie.
Sandboxes are way more fun when brought inside.
And well, this? Just gross.
My only saving grace? Wipes. And lots of ’em. My #1 Rule as a mom is to ALWAYS be within hand’s reach of a container of PURELL® Hand Sanitizing Wipes, which are perfect for those moments when you need to both clean and sanitize your hands.
They come in convenient 35-count and 75-count containers and are available at Walmart. I keep a canister under my sink, one outside on the kids’ table, one in the car, and one in the playroom. OCD? Maybe. Smart? Heck yeah.
Y’all know you need some! And lucky for you, shoppers and now save $1.00 on any PURELL® Wipes canister or Save $1.00 on any two PURELL® Products. Plus, PURELL® has loyalty program on site which you may as well take advantage of for as many wipes you’ll use throughout the years!
Now that you know my #1 Parenting Rule, tell me, what’s yours?
