Colleen Burns-Harristhal on Summer Survival

​​Colleen Burns-Harristhal is a successful reporter and later became the producer of an Emmy-Award winning show. Colleen is still a journalist and author, but now has another demanding job as the mother of six boys, all under the age of 19. Colleen reveals her summer survival tips and explains how she transitioned from news to ‘MOMARCHY’!

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SUMMER SURVIVAL
"As a mom of six boys, one top summer survival hack is finding ways to help with the laundry. There is a lot of laundry. New appliances like the Samsung FlexWash and FlexDry allow for the flexibility to do laundry the way I want, when I want. It features two washers in one, and two dryers in one. The Samsung FlexWash can wash multiple loads at once. Also, smaller items can be washed like swimwear on the top, and heavy-duty items, like beach towels and blankets on the bottom. The Samsung FlexDry has a top-load drying zone for delicates to lay flat and gently dry, and a full-sized drum for larger loads, like bedding." For more information, visit www.samsung.com.

TIPS FOR SURVIVING THE SUMMER WITHOUT A HUGE MESS
"Summer is fun, but it can also be terribly messy. It is easy to feel overwhelmed with messes all over the house. It is important to spend some time every day cleaning up after the fun, as to not become overwhelmed. Also, if friends and family are coming over, it is important to make sure the house is presentable. One main focus in the house is the bathroom. With the Clorox Toilet Wand, the most frequently visited room of the house will be the easiest to prepare! The Clorox Toilet Wand system disposable refill heads are preloaded with Clorox Toilet Bowl Cleaner to provide the cleaning power needed with none of the nastiness of a traditional, germy toilet brush, all while killing 99.9 percent of germs. Simply click a refill head onto the wand, scrub away the germs, and then toss the head in the trash. For more information, visit www.clorox.com.

ON-THE-GO DURING OPTIONS TO KEEP KIDS SATIATED BETWEEN MEALS
"One summer survival must-have is Crunchmaster crackers, they are crunchy, naturally gluten-free, and a perfect fit for on-the-go lifestyles during the summer. From road trips, to days at the pool, these make a great treat. Pack a cooler with Crunchmaster Multi-Grain and Multi-Seed crackers and include toppings like hummus, cheddar cheese, or peanut butter to make these wholesome snacks. Feel good about giving them to the kids because they are oven baked, non-GMO project verified, and made from whole grains and seeds. They really are the perfect on-the-go snack for kids and parents alike all summer long!" For more information, visit www.crunchmaster.com.

BEST SURVIVAL TIP FOR A BUSY MOM FOR FEEDING A FAMILY ON THE RUN
"A great tip is Boston Market because it has so many options like the new Oven-Crisp Chicken Strips that are all-white, all-breast meat chicken, seasoned and hand-breaded, and baked, not fried, for a crispy, better-for-you crunch. Families love them, and moms feel good about putting it on the table. They can be purchased by-the-strip, in a meal with two sides and cornbread, or in a sandwich, a salad, a wrap, a market bowl, or even a kids' meal for the little ones. It is also nice that Boston Market is partnering with the Fisher House Foundation, known for its providing comfort homes for military families while a loved one is receiving medical treatment. For every Oven-Crisp Chicken Strip Individual Meal purchased on July 4th, Boston Market will donate up to 1,000 meals to Fisher House families in July, so be sure to head in and give love for the men and women who defend this country!"
