My Mom's Advice + Giveaway from Aquaphor

My mom (Babs) with the boys.

My mom isn't the kind of mom to tell you what you should or should not do as a mom.  She doesn't really even offer advice until you explicitly ask her for it.  I love that about her because there are so many people who shove their advice down your throat whether you want it or not.  


My mom's best advice was the kind that she never said, it's the things she did while raising me that I use in my daily parenting skills.

I never really understood all that my mother did or why she acted the way that she did while I was growing up.  I never really understood it all until now that I'm a mom.  For instance, when I was a kid, she would only let me sleep at a friend's house if she knew the parents.  I thought that was so dumb!  I knew the kid and the mom, wasn't that enough?  Now that I'm a mom, I'm so on that page!  My kids can't sleep at anyone's house unless we are friends with the family.  And to be honest, the only houses outside of family they are allowed to sleep at are our "Cuban cousins" house.  You know, the friends that are so close they are practically family.  

What piece of advice has your mom given you that you will never forget?

Springtime is coming (or so the groundhog said...) and it's a time for nature's finest.  Strawberry fields, peach trees, you know the wonderful smells and tastes of sunshine and spring. 

Spring’s bounty has arrived at Bath & Body Works, and you’re invited to sample the season’s freshest offerings. On Saturday, March 9^th, Bath & Body Works stores nationwide are getting a market makeover, taking inspiration from local Farmers’ Market fare. Consumers will be invited to fill their baskets with Bath & Body Works’ most irresistible offerings for spring and discover new ways to infuse Fresh Picked essentials into their home décor. 

You will have the opportunity to meet with a “Market Sampler” to try new fragrances and forms from the Fresh Picked collection and experience the latest candles, hand soaps and hand creams. Everyone will leave with samples of the new Fresh Picked Body Wash or Body Lotion.

Bath & Body Works devotees can take part in an exclusive Spring Home Décor Workshop, where they’ll learn about how to mix and match forms from the Fresh Picked Home Fragrance, AntiBac and Accessory collections to find their perfect pairings to refresh and enhance their homes. Those who purchase anything from the Home Fragrance collections will receive an exclusive complimentary 4 oz. Fresh Picked Market Peach Candle in a muslin gift bag.
