Summertime {and Classoom} Survival

This post is brought to you by Puffs and BlogHer.

 Having 3 kids means that we have cleaned up a lot of messes this summer.

And, I mean a lot.

My girls are getting more independent and wanting to do more things on their own.

For instance, this summer the girls have been wanting to make their own PB & J sandwiches for lunch. It works out for me, I feed Luke his lunch while the girls make their PB&J.

But the mess. Oh, the mess they make. It is a disaster area after they are done making their sandwiches. Peanut Butter...all over the table. Jam....all over their hands.

It's a sticky, sticky, mess.

And, Luke loves to sit in his high chair and randomly throw his sippy cup of milk from time to time.
Milk splatters on the floor, the windows & the cabinets.
Good times.

A few weeks ago, Bounty Paper Towels & Puffs Tissues sent me a Summer Survival Kit to help me with me with cleaning up the messes my kids make this summer.

I have been using these products for years, so I was more than happy to post about them. Bounty is my go-to paper towel, they absorb more than the other paper towels, which is handy because my girls spill AT LEAST 1 glass of milk a week. And, don't even get me started on how much I love Puffs tissues. In my mid-20's I came down with allergies every Spring and Puffs tissues were the only ones that were soft enough. They are the best. They are the only brand I buy for my family, especially since my girls are prone to getting colds during the school year. 

And, speaking of the school year, just 2 more weeks until school starts for us.

UGH.

Did you know that a survey of our nation's teachers conducted by Bounty and Puffs, in partnership with Wakefield Research, found that it can take only 35 minutes for students to make a mess in their clean classroom?

Well, if you are like me and teach middle school, that means I have a new group of students every 45 minutes. So, if it takes 35 minutes to make a mess, I only have 10 minutes in between classes to clean up the mess and get ready for the new mess. And, don't even get me started on cold & flu season....I have 150 students. The amount of tissue boxes I go through in a week in my classroom during the cold/flu season is ridiculous!

  4. Summer is indeed a time when parents look for camps and activities to keep their kids active and entertained. We don't want to admit it, but we're so relieved when school starts back up again. With Summer comes the time constraints of managing the kids while still pursuing personal goals, career objectives and other required activities of adult life. Give yourself a great break this Summer and pick a day to have a moonwalk setup in the yard. This keeps the kids busy, active and interacting with one another; something not all video games can boast! http://austinbouncehouse.rentals
