Being a toddler mom is a lot of things. It’s fun, crazy, frustrating, exciting, exhilarating and heartbreaking. It’s also messy. Abbie can make a mess with anything. Sometimes it astounds me how fast the mess comes up, and I know I’m not the only one battling those messes!
Abbie’s messes come in all forms. Toys all over the floor. chalk all over her hands after playing outside. Food all over her face. Play dough under her fingernails. Goldfish crumbs all over my car. Messes everywhere.
This is where Huggies wipes come in. Since we cloth diapered, I haven’t used them much in that department… but I’ve used them so many other places. They’re an easy way to clean up all those messes toddlers make.
One such mess? Abbie and pesto sauce. Pesto is one of her favorites, but that bright green sauce isn’t always the easiest to get out of her fingers. We always make sure to keep some Huggies wipes nearby, and it makes it so easy to get the sauce off of her fingers, out of her hair (yep, totally happens), and to clean up her face. Once she’s clean, I fold the wipe to a different section, and one quick swipe cleans off her favorite Minnie Mouse placemat so it’s ready to go for the next meal.
So what else can you use Huggies wipes for? So many things! Just a few of my favorites:
- Cleaning up after crafts. I use Huggies wipes often to do a quick wipe of Abbie’s chalkboard table. It gets all the chalk off quickly and easily so Abbie can make all new artwork… or her asking me to draw Mickey and Minnie. She’s a bit obsessed.
- Car messes. Abbie takes after me in the fact that I’m a klutz, so of course I need to keep Huggies wipes in the car at all times.
- Easy cleaning for kids. I really believe that if kids do something they shouldn’t, like coloring on the walls, they need to be part of cleaning it up. Huggies wipes are an easy way for Abbie to help clean things up!
- Removing makeup. In a pinch, Huggies wipes get off all my makeup after a long day. They’re already gentle on skin, so they’re gentle on your face!
- Wiping down surfaces. Bathroom counters, kitchen counters… anything you can think of. Huggies wipes are easy and convenient.
There are so many more – make sure you check out the list of 101 uses Huggies has compiled here, and let me know what you’d add to the list!
