As a former teacher and a mom of little ones, one of my favorite things to do with my children is sit down and read with them. I am always excited when introduced to new books and couldn't wait to review the newest addition to the Pigeon Series! 

Millions of copies sold, the Pigeon Series has enchanted young readers for the last decade! In the 8th picture book in the series, the Pigeon really needs a bath! Except, the Pigeon's not so sure about that. Besides, he took a bath last month! Maybe. It's going to take some serious convincing to try and get the Pigeon to take the plunge. 

We received The Pigeon Needs a Bath! book by Mo Williams to review.

The kids were just as excited to read it as I was! It's very cute and we all love all the illustrations. It's also a great book for any age, as the text is simple and the illustrations really capture their attention. All three of my kids, 6, 4 and 2 where interested the entire time. It's a book we read often and will continue to for a long time to come I'm sure!



I also like that the book we received is a hardcover, perfect for younger children. When the kids are carrying it around and reading it on their own, I don't worry about it getting bent up and ruined. It's also a very nice size, not too big, yet not too small. Overall a perfect book that suits the interest of kids of all ages. We love it!

I'd definitely recommend this book to other families with younger children.

**This review was made possible by Double Duty Divas andPampers. I was provided the featured product free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% mine.

I love Spring. Seeing the snow melting, listening to the birds chirping and being able to enjoy warmer temps outside are all a breath of fresh air after the long, cold winter we've had here in the midwest. However, the one thing about spring that can be difficult, especially for moms with little ones, is spring cleaning!

With Spring here, it's time to start thinking about the many ways to wipe out the winter blues. Thankfully, Pampers wants to make the process as gentle as possible and sent us a Gentle Spring Cleaning basket.

Our basket included a cleaning caddy, hand lotion, Swiffer Wet Jet, gloves and Pampers Wipes...all things to help clean more gently and easily! Each of the items plays an important role in wiping out the winter blues and getting ready for spring cleaning. One of my favorites, is the Pampers Sensitive Wipes. 

With three little ones, we've gone through a lot of baby wipes over the years, and one of my favorite brands is Pampers. I especially like the Pampers Sensitive Wipes and the gentle clean they provide. 

I love these wipes in particular, because they are 20% thicker than regular Pampers wipes. They provide a great clean with Softgrip texture and less wiping, making for a more gentle clean. They are also hypoallergenic and perfume-free which is important to me with my little ones' sensitive skin.

Not only were we able to use the wipes to give our kiddos a very gentle clean, and the other products to give us a jump start on our spring cleaning this year...but I was also sent a gift card to give the gift of glean to another busy mom as well!

I love giving, and when given this challenge I couldn't wait to come up with a very special gentle spring cleaning basket of my own to give a special busy mom in my life. I have a friend who had a baby a few months ago. With three little ones, I know she would appreciate some help in her spring cleaning to do list. 

As I thought about what would be helpful for a busy mom of three kids, I wanted to be sure to touch on all areas of clean. To help keep the kids and their clothes clean, I got a tub of Pampers Sensitive Wipes. I know these will come in handy for all her little ones. I also added a pack of bar soap as well as laundry detergent for those messes from meals and playing outdoors now that the weather is nicer.

To help with the daily messes around the home, I got her a Swiffer Sweep & Trap, great for the crumbs that come along with meals and snacks. I also bought a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser with Handy Grip and two organizing baskets that she could easily use under the sinks, in a closet...anywhere in the home that she may want a little more organization. As a busy mom myself, I know that having the tools available to help me stay organized makes cleaning and keeping things clean much easier. It takes stress off my already busy days, and I hope these baskets and other cleaning items will do the same for her! 

I am so thrilled to have been given the opportunity to give the gift of clean. It's the perfect time of year to do so! The gift basket I received has definitely helped to wipe out the winter blues and made the process of getting started with spring cleaning more gentle.
