Keeping your home mess-free during the holiday season can prove to be quite challenging, especially with two little elves running around. Aside from your regular hectic routine you have to factor in baking holiday cookies, wrapping truckloads of presents and planning those holiday parties. Finding time to clean your home from top to bottom, while keeping your holiday cheer, is no easy task!
I have learned from past experiences that even keeping your kids’ clothes clean and festive can prove to be even more impossible than choosing the right present. One Christmas several years ago my son managed to get a small stain on his dress shirt that almost caused us to scrap sending out Christmas cards altogether.
Right before our holiday picture was taken, and clearly unbeknown to me, the kids got a hold of some holiday goodies and my son ended up getting chocolate on his only white dress shirt. Sadly, this small mishap caused us to cancel our last minute holiday photo appointment. Talk about a messy moment!
Thankfully I was able to get the shirt clean with a little bit of Clorox® Regular-Bleach in the wash. With the stain gone I was able to dress the kids up again in their finest and take the photo in front of our Christmas tree on our own schedule saving us time, money and stress. Otherwise the grandparents might have missed out on their favorite holiday photo of the kids!
Take it from me, if you plan on getting your child or children’s holiday picture taken make sure to have a back up outfit just in case! Always a good idea to have Clorox® Regular-Bleach stashed away for those inevitable holiday spills.
