Celebrating my mother

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and this year I actually get the chance to see my mom in May. To say I’m excited is an understatement as last time I saw her was two years ago. It’s quite a long time being away from the person who raised you. We don’t always see eye-to-eye but still I miss her. In honor of Mother’s Day, I’d like to share with you 3 strengths that she passed on to me and that I’m now trying to teach my children.

The 3 strengths

1 – Perseverance

When I was a child, my mom would always tell me, “where there’s a will, there’s a way“. It taught me to always stay positive and to keep trying even when things aren’t going according to the plan. My dream as a child was to leave France to live in the United States. It took me 21 years but because of my perseverance I was able to move here and I’m so happy I have.

2 – Always be kind

When I was a kid, I was picked on a lot at school, but my mom taught me to always be kind. It may seem obvious but it’s an important quality and something I really want my children to learn, to always be kind to the people around them. Jude is such a sweet kiddo already. He worries about people, and always asks us if we’re happy and how he can make us feel better. This sweet boy wants everyone to be happy!

3 – Clean your house and you’ll feel better

Just kidding! Not really… My mom is a little obsessed with her house looking pristine and she definitely passed that on to me. My mom says that a clean house is a reflection of who you are. Additionally, she thinks that when our house is clean, we feel better and more relaxed. And you know what? I think she’s right. She also taught me to buy garbage bags that are as strong as we are. We get Hefty® Ultra Strong™ trash bags because nothing is more irritating than a hole in the bag or a ripped drawstring. Hefty® Ultra Strong™ have a break-resistant grip drawstring that prevents the bag from falling inside the can. No more trash on the floor, which means a clean house, a clean mind, and a happy mom!

Why my mom loves Hefty® and why you should too

Hefty® Ultra Strong™ trash bags have an ARM & HAMMER™ patented odor neutralizer because part of having a clean house is eliminating bad odors, including the smell of trash. If you’re not convinced by this stuff, they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee: Hefty® can handle all your trash bag needs, or your money back.

In honor of Mother’s Day, Hefty® is celebrating strong moms who tackle messes on a daily basis because just like Hefty® trash bags, today’s moms like us are Ultra Strong in everything they do. Additionally, they teamed up with John Cena and his mom Carol Cena to celebrate strong moms!

   Oh, and because my mom also taught me about being conscious when spending money, I love that Hefty® offers Ultra Strong™ strength at a low price. My mom knows best so I took her advice and got Hefty® Ultra Strong™ trash bags, and guess what… she was right again!
