One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that. Instead, I'd like to share a post from several years ago about how my kids messed up my grandmother's birthday dinner...

Essential Mama Baby: Restaurant high chairs dirtier than toilet seat!

Essential Mama Baby: Restaurant high chairs dirtier than toilet seat!: "We all know that there are germs everywhere we go but how harmful are they and what should we do about it? The first thing to come to mind..."

I always new that they were disgusting, but had no idea they were this dirty. That's why we bought a portable high chair that we take with us to restaurants!!!

I know what you are saying. When the kids are coughing and snibffling, it's better to distance yourself.
When I was little we didn't have hand sanitizers et al and we didn't get overly sick.
Please don't get mad at this, but a little dirt is actually good to build immune system. When children are never subjected to normal dirt, it leads to problems later. I've heard health professionals say this often. Of course I'm not talking about serious filth.
I think if you kept a cloth and alcohol with you when you go in and wipe down the chair, the establishment will consider cleaning it when they do the regular cleaning.
After all, you will clean that chair that you brought in.
I'm just saying.
Anthony, I know that I am on the far end of the spectrum about germs, but it says that the restaurant high chairs are dirtier than a toilet seat. Let's unite against that. Pretty please? If you join my cause, I'll consider not following my guests around with hand sanitizer. :-)

I carry sanitizer and disinfectant wipes with me everywhere...especially to use on shopping carts. After reading this, I'm glad I do.
Thanks for the follow, I'm returning the favor :)
