Share a Johnson’s Baby Cares Message With a Mom, Friend, or Loved One #spon

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for JOHNSON’s Baby. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

My very first best friend and I lost touch after I moved from South Florida when I was six years old. We only moved a few hours away and I did return “home” often to visit family, however we were really too young to schedule plans or anything of the sort. And since my Mom was great at capturing memories of our childhood I would sometimes flip through a photo album and spot a few pictures of the two of us. I always wondered how she was, and even attempted to find a number for her a few times.

Best Friends

Many years later, the Facebook obsession hit and I was finally able to connect with her. It had been 20+ years!! But she still remembered me, just as I did her. She still lives in Florida, and just a few hours away. After catching up online and over the phone, we met for dinner with our families. Years later, we still stay in touch. On our most recent chat she shared her exciting news: she was a few months pregnant! I couldn’t be more thrilled for her! I know she will be a wonderful mother and I can’t wait to meet her bundle of joy. I also look forward to our little ones bonding and creating their own friendship.

The First Ever Infographic Made by Kids! #CleverTeachers #NLW13 #spon

My husband’s class was part of the first ever Infographic made by kids! His students, along with 2 other classes from their elementary school answered a fun questionnaire for the purposes of the TeachHUB Infographic. Questions like, “What’s your top 3 favorite things about school” and “What’s your favorite fictional character,” were answered by grades K-5. They even included select drawings from the students in the Infographic, which was really special to see.
