Family Lifestyle | #GloriousMesses

If there’s one thing Lyric can do completely independently, it’s make a mess. With being a 4 year old boy, it’s not only expected but at times I revel in it. It’s a joy to watch his imagination take over and see what he creates. But what comes along with messes? Yep, cleaning it all up. Now that part, I don’t enjoy so much! We recently received a box FULL of fun crafts and activities to do, and because Green Works thinks of everything, all the necessary products to clean up the mess!

Family Lifestyle | Kandoo – Number 2.. get it?

When he started school I noticed he would definitely be a little sweatier than normal, but now that the weather is nice, he comes home just DIRTY! Those recesses spent in the sand, rolling in the grass, practicing his “dance moves” or just running around has him needing to get clean more often.
