Last week at Hispanicize conference, Charmin kicked off its salute to Latina Mama Bears with Latina celebrity mom Giselle Blondet, host of Univision’s Nuestra Belleza Latina show. As a proud Mama Bear to three kids, Giselle swapped stories about the joys of motherhood with the Latina mom bloggers. Charmin wants to keep the conversation going with their new interactive sweepstakes.
As a Mama Bear there are so many challenges that come with caring for your little ones, working fulltime, maintaining the household and keeping the family budget. For me, there never seems to be enough time in the day or do I have enough energy to finish everything on my list of things to do. To better manage these challenges, one of the things that works for me is to keep a schedule for my little one and keep things as organized as possible so that Papa Bear can easily step in to help with things around the home.
So while there are many days that I am juggling multiple things, I may overcook dinner or I may have leave a clean load of laundry in the washing machine on occasion, I am a proud Mama Bear because I know I am giving it my all to be the best mom that I can be. Once my little one says I love you and gives me a hug and kiss, that’s when I know that being a Mama Bear is the most fulfilling role I will ever have.
And as a Mama Bear I always appreciate when I can find an everyday product, like Charmin toilet paper, that is a great value. Finding values from everyday products can add up to weekly savings towards saving for a family weekend getaway with my little one.
Now it is your turn to share your story! Charmin is celebrating all Latina Mama Bears by celebrating their achievements, goals, and challenges running a family. With the Latina Mama Bear interactive sweepstakes, you can visit the Mama Bear tab on Charmin’s Facebook page and leave a 15-second voice recording about what makes them proud to be a Mama Bear for a chance to win a 2013 Chrysler Town & Country Minivan and an opportunity to be featured in a national Charmin radio commercial. The sweepstakes runs now through Mother’s Day, closing on June 30, 2013.
Note: This is part of a sponsored campaign with Charmin and Latina Mom Bloggers. However, all opinions expressed are my own.
