Hot Mama In The City

Becoming a parent is the most important role you'll ever step into. It's both exhausting and rewarding. There are many "chores" that come with caring for your family and providing a happy and healthy home. Many of us don't look at these every day tasks we perform as chores but as opportunities to show how much we care. For example, I am not a morning person by any means but every school day, I wake up with my children, get them ready for class, pack their lunches and snack, walk them to their bus stop, tell them I love them before blowing kisses goodbye. These "chores" that I have performed before the sun has even risen are things I wouldn't miss for the world. Our early morning school routine has become a chore I love doing. While the kids are away at school, I continue my day with other chores like laundry, cooking and cleaning. These very small things have a huge impact on not only myself but my children as well. When we raise happy, independent, and smart kids; we create a better society. There are multiple ways we show those we love how much we really care. #EveryDayCare

Family vacations are just as important as the everyday duties we all perform. Taking time away from our everyday tasks and bonding with the ones we love can help reduce stress and anxiety. As much as I both love and loath many of my "mommy chores", taking a break from my everyday routine of chores, is more than welcomed and deserved. Going on family vacations with my children not only helps provide me with a break from my everyday life of duties but gives the kids a chance to experience something different as well. We all deserve to take a break.




The opportunity to connect outside the roles expected in day to day life - normally your children
know their parents as a product of their care and work. A family vacation is a way to experience an adventure together where you can see the people you love in a situation where there are no outside pressures or expectations. You can have a unique shared experience that belongs only to you as a family.

In just over a year’s time, the kids and I have had some amazing travel and vacation breaks. From vacationing in Disney World on the east coast to spending the summer with family on the west coast and  then making our way south to the Caribbean Islands just recently. Every minute a memory to remember.


Seeing their faces light up when they see their favorite character in person, or watching them use their imaginations to build castles in the sand on a beautiful island is worth all those early mornings, piles of laundry, hours of cleaning and cooking, and staying up way beyond my bedtime to get work done, makes it all worth it..


Whirlpool wants to remind you that these “chores” have the power to make a profoundly positive impact on the people we love and the world we live in.
