mommy's reviews

Image source When my husband and I were married, it was just the two of us. I had my job and he had his. I had my bank account, and he had his. It wasn't until I became pregnant with our first baby that we started to think about financial planning and saving. You know, when it is just the two of us, there really isn't much to think about. But when you add a baby to the mix, there suddenly becomes a whole lot more. Fortunately, I have a sister who is an insurance agent and knows a whole lot more than me when it comes to planning for the future.

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** Out of all the rooms in my house, I hate cleaning the bathroom the most. I think it is just because we are talking about the toilet and the tub specifically. AND, I have a potty trainer in my house meaning I have a potty chair in my bathroom...that needs to be cleaned almost daily. Then, my little potty trainer likes to dump her own potty when she is done and said child misses the potty some of the time. SOOOO, mom spends alot of time cleaning and disinfecting the bathroom. My worst nightmare in my bathroom is my tub/shower. Hubby likes to take baths and I shower. Certain soaps make really awful soap scum and unfortunately, we have loads of soap buildup in our tub.
