*The following giveaway is open to Canada only
“Oh not right now honey.” “Um, how about we read some books instead!” “Ug, who gave her sparkles to play with??”
Does any of this sound familiar. I can admit it, back in the day when my girls were little, there were “good” days for those messy crafts and “”bad” days. When you’re tired, have a headache, or have friends coming over later for coffee, and the house is “momentarily” clean, you really have to work up to the crafts that include all things glitter, play dough, finger paint and glue! Well at least I had to…. until I stumbled upon the wonder that is Swiffer!
Now thanks to discovering something that is as close to real magic as I have ever seen, when my SassyNephew comes over and wants to get knee deep into the craft box, I’m the first one to announce “Yes”! A big fat “Yes to the Mess”!
Thanks to Swiffer, parents can say “Yes to the Mess!” and embrace life’s little messes because we’re able to get a thorough a clean in minutes. What used to be a chore to do, is now a snap! It’s now easier than ever to make sure our little one’s get messy, explore, create and have a craft time that is …well…messy! Did you know that according to the second annual Swiffer Cleaning Index, while the majority (70%) of parents feel that letting kids make a mess helps encourage their creativity
Many (68%) have said “no” to their kids’ request because of the mess it could make. I get it! Sometimes you don’t feel like you have the time, or the patience for that clean up! I also happen to be part of the generation that believes that messes are a part of a child’s development, it’s how they learn. As a matter of fact, seventy-five percent of Millennial parents think that letting kids make messes encourages their creativity.
Most parents would agree; a mess is a great learning opportunity, in so many ways. Bonus, nearly all parents think that young children learn a lot from cleaning up a mess. The trick is to find a way to get them to help you. Once again,I find myself thankful for my Swiffer! No scrap of paper, no sparkle or glitter shall be left behind when it meets it’s match, the Swiffer! The best part, since my SassyNephew is four, so at this age, cleaning up can be half the fun!

I opened the dishwasher before it was done and water got all over the kitchen floor.
Yesterday evening my daughter decided to wear her boots from the back door upstairs to the front door downstairs. They were covered in dry mud so there was a trail of dirt all the way through the house. Technically she cleaned that up though not me 🙂
This morning our dogs tracked muddy paw prints across our brand new hardwood floors and then decided to shake themselves off in our bedroom – mud and fur EVERYWHERE! I spent the morning on hands and knees with a damp rag… not fun!
Poop explosions from my newborn. An uncanny amount of mess all over the living room.
Last mess I had to clean up was my kitchen ! My boyfriend moved in recently and there were boxes and dust everywhere ! Yikes !
The last thing I cleaned up was my dog’s water bowl! She knocked it over!
I dropped a full mug of hot milk – all over me, all over the counter… the microwave,…the floor… the cupboards….. yea… that was fun 🙂
The last mess I cleaned up left over Vietnamese Chicken Satay Vermicelli SOMEBODY did not have the lid on and it toppled out all in front of the fridge and fresh cleaned floors. May I just say that fish sauce is good going down but not so great on the tiles. Smelly Sticky Mess!!! I deserve that last 2 spring rolls for having to hands and knee to scoop then mop it
I spilled an entire jug of lemonade on the floor….it was horrifying.
The last mess I cleaned up was a broken serving bowl!
I had to clean up a really big kitchen disaster, really grimey cupboards and lots of dust. sure could have used swiffer!
I cleaned up spilled juice off the floor.
My dog likes to spill is food and water on the floor sometimes. Always picking something up.
It was a mess from my puppy she spilled her food
For me it was Rice Krispies. They were everywhere!! (mixed with cat hair? Gross)
