@jbskrub smells good and helps other things smell @jbskrub smells good and helps other things smell good, too! 😂
We were excited to receive these products to try after first learning about this brand through @goodguygiene last year.
Good stuff!  That body spray is 100% staying in my car for post-hockey-practice!

Teen-boy approved and #boymom approved!!!

Check out their site and give them a try!

Thanks, JB Skrub !

An oldie but goodie. I made up this song when the An oldie but goodie.
I made up this song when the boys were teeny tiny and I sang it to them a lot.  This was the first video I ever posted on Instagram —  I think in 2016!
And even though it tanks on engagement every time I post it, I will forever be grateful for these boys who made me a M.o.B., and I will share this every year.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
