Getting Inventive

Late August and early September mean one thing in our house...back to school.

With 3 of 4 kids in school this year, I've found myself thinking of inventive ways to stay busy during the day because let's face it, I'm really missing my kindergartener this year.  I've had 10+ years to get used to my son being gone all day and my stepdaughter has been with us for mostly school time for the last 4 or 5 years.  I'm nearing the end of one child's school career and one hasn't even begun yet. It's pretty surreal!  Being a 42 year old mom of a sophomore in high school, I find myself being "the younger mom" while at the same time being "the older mom" with my 22 month old.

With all these kids in school, I find myself overwhelmed with paperwork all. the. time. Buried under it.  How to keep it organized?  Ordinary paperclips don't cut it.  But if you #RecycleYourPeriodPad , you've got an easy way to keep groups of papers together neatly!

5 or 6 people in the bathroom getting ready for school and work frequently leads to a lot of water splashed all over the sink and the mirror.  How to keep up with easy cleaning?  #RecycleYourPeriodPad, of course.  They're absorbent and effective!

Now that you've learned about some of my creative ways to deal with back to school, let's get real. Sometimes when you're sneezing, laughing, coughing, you find yourself dealing with a little LBL.

What exactly is LBL? - 1 in 3 women experience Light Bladder Leakage (LBL) – little leaks that can be triggered by everyday occurrences like coughing, sneezing, laughing and exercise. -Weak pelvic floor muscles, pregnancy, childbirth and weight gain are just a few LBL contributors.

Women deserve the best options for managing LBL so Poise brand has introduced new Poise Thin-Shape pads, which are up to 40% thinner than original Poise brand pads and are made specifically for bladder leaks with the trusted absorbency of Poise brand.

Do you need those bulky period pads to help protect your LBL?  Who wants to wear something so heavy for something so light? Not me! That's no fun at all.  Poise and their new Thin-Shape Pads:

Practicality #RecycleYourPeriodPad

If you have little kids, you often find the most random of your possessions, strewn about. Feminine products are no exception! Last night, I walked into the bathroom to find my 18month old had discovered my stash of tampons. I first found a few wrapped ones just spilled out of the box then noticed a couple open along the floor.  I laughed as I picked up her trail of tampons! I was lucky this time that she hadn't pulled out the package of period pads, but it got me thinking why I still have those stashed under the sink anyway.  We've all bought the wrong pads at some point and you either suck it up and use them or they sit tucked back in the back of a closet or under the sink somewhere.

Designed to move with your body, new Poise Thin-Shape pads feature Super Absorbent Material (SAM) and a Thin-Flex design for extraordinary protection that’s still 3x drier than period pads† to help you take care of leaks with confidence.

So what do you do with all those unused, unwanted period pads you have? Well, I'm sending them off with my husband and his buddy to go camping!  Yep. You read that right, my husband is taking my unused period pads with him when he camps.  They are perfect for his first aid kid! Think about it...you get a wound that bleeds, what better to use to help stop the bleeding on your arm or leg, for example, than something designed to absorb! 

Sometimes I'm creative and sometimes I'm practical. Thankfully, I have a husband who loves hunting, fishing, and camping and is always looking for handy little items to have that are useful. He's a good sport!
