Experiencing #MilestoneMoments with P&G and Pampers

I received a similar prize pack to share this information provided by Proctor & Gamble. All opinions are my own.

We have been a huge fan of P&G products in our home for a long time. Tide is the only laundry detergent that my husband and SweetPea can use on their sensitive skin. Hubby can only use Old Spice deodorant. And Pampers are our top choice brand of disposable diapers.
