It’s Mother’s Day Week and I’m partnering with Hefty® to celebrate! In this house, we celebrate “weeks” not “days”. It’s your birthday “week” or “Christmas week”. I’ve been thinking about my mom a lot as Mother’s Day approaches. There is something about becoming a mom that makes you tremendously thankful for your own mom. I think for the first time you see all of the love, all of the sacrifice and all of the strength! I mean, it takes a lot of LOVE to clean up potty training accidents and a lot of PATIENCE to handle grocery store meltdowns. I have learned so many amazing things from my mom and I hope to pass down even a small fraction to my kids. If my kids look back in thirty years and see that I passed down these 5 traits, I will feel very successful:
Strength
My mom is one of the strongest people I know and always tries to take care of everyone else. In big things, and in small everyday tasks, she is the glue that holds things together. This Mother’s Day, Hefty® is celebrating strong moms who tackle messes on a daily basis. Oftentimes, moms don’t get enough credit for their everyday strength. They are Ultra Strong just like Hefty® Ultra Strong trash bags which have triple action technology to resist tears, punctures and leaks. This so reminds me of the perseverance of moms. Through no sleep, hostile crying environments and toys everywhere, moms are still Ultra Strong to tackle the day. I hope my children see this perseverance and strength and carry it into adulthood.
Financial Responsibility
One of my greatest joys is to be financially responsible for our family. I recall my mom teaching me the value of a dollar and I already try to instill this in Brooke even at her young age. I want both of my babies to know how to spend wisely and look for great deals like how Hefty® Ultra Strong™ trash bags offer “Hefty Hefty Hefty” strength at a low price. Shopping for the best price is essential and budgeting is key – this is such a great trait to have for success in life!
Confidence
I also want my children to have confidence in themselves. Hefty® Ultra Strong™ trash bags have a break resistant grip drawstring to prevent the bag from falling inside the can. With Hefty® you can be confident in the product and being confident in yourself through life is such a great attribute when backed up appropriately. My mom taught me to believe in myself and my abilities of which I am extremely grateful.
Kindness
Kindness is Hefty® trash bags being built with an ARM & HAMMER™ patented odor neutralizer for all those dirty diapers!! I might be trying to “play on words”, but I am so serious. Diapers smell terrible and it is so so kind of this great brand to ease the smell. In all seriousness, one of the most important traits to me to pass down to my children is showing kindness and grace for others. I believe in being overwhelmingly kind. In a world that is so busy and self-centered, I hope to raise kind children that think of others first. My mom has always put her family and friends first. To me, she is an amazing definition of kindness.
Joyfulness
Nothing says joy like a 100% satisfaction guarantee and Hefty® can handle all your trash bag needs, or your money back. Life can be rough, motherhood can be messy, but your attitude at the end of the day is what matters. Having a joyous attitude can make all the difference for you and everyone around you. Seeing my mom push through hard days with a smile on her face gave me the endurance I needed on so many rough days. I hope to give my children that same smile on a cloudy day.
Hefty® has all of these awesome traits and so does my mom. Most days I feel like a work in progress, but I am striving to pass down all of these to my children as well. Special thank you to all moms out there and Hefty® for celebrating strong moms in honor of Mother’s Day by teaming up with John Cena and his mom Carol Cena with this Mom Knows Best video!
