This week, I was sitting in a meeting discussing one of Clorox’s bathroom cleaners. Yes, I know, in any place other than the Clorox building, this would be a serious conversation killer. But during our discussion, I discovered that a lot of us have strange cleaning idiosyncracies. How can we not when, love it or hate it, cleaning is part of our weekly (or, ok in some cases, monthly) lives? Read on to discover some quirky cleaning behaviors.

When someone in my house gets sick, the entire flow in my household is interrupted. It’s hard enough to get dinner on the table and chores done when everyone in the house is healthy. Throw a sick family member into the mix and it really throws a wrench in the plans!

With awards season almost upon us, below is an entry from guest blogger, Susan from BusyBeeLifestyle.com, with tips on how to throw glamorous awards season parties. Yes, just because some of us mommies run around in yoga pants at home doesn’t mean we can’t glam it up for awards season, right?

Our family got Sticky about 2 years ago, just shortly after Max, our second child, was born. Sticky loves riding in the car with us, playing with my daughter, Elle, and having his meals with the family. He follows Elle around incessantly and she loves taking care of him. Sticky is also Elle’s imaginary friend.

As the holidays approach, I am preparing for the crazy air travel season ahead. I will run frantically through airports, probably forget something at airline security and as I scuttle down plane aisles, I will see the look of fear in the eyes of my fellow passengers as I approach…No, I do not have a communicable skin disease—I just have toddlers. Yes, tis the season to sherpah carseats, strollers and overtired kids through crowded airport terminals. And it’s not easy for the kids either. They sit confined in seats facing beige tray-tables for hours, have no comforts of home and in some cases, cope with time-zone changes. So, here is how I try to stay sane at 30,000 feet…

Here's a great post from guest blogger, Robyn Wright, about staying healthy this holiday. We all know that feeling of wanting to keep sneezy visitors away, but when that's not possible, check out her 5-step plan for staying healthy this season!

If you’re anything like me, since becoming a Mom, I’ve found myself with a particularly soft spot for causes pertaining to children. Somehow having my little ones in my life has made me acutely aware of not only the joys of raising children but also their incredible vulnerability. I recently learned more about a cause that Clorox is supporting called the Children’s Health Fund – an organization whose mission really moved me.

Like many moms planning to enjoy a large Thanksgiving dinner with small children, I am bracing myself for the mess. Between wrestling for the cranberry sauce and elbowing for pumpkin pie, gravy is inevitably flung, turkey chunks land like shrapnel on shirts… And that’s just the adults!

I wanted to share a great post from mom blogger and Chicken Soup for the Soul editor, Susan Heim. Susan shares her experience teaching her two college-aged children how to do their own laundry and encourages them to not bring loads of dirty clothes home during the Thanksgiving holiday. Yes, as reliable as drool on a 6-month old's chin, it seems like kids never stop producing laundry!
