Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. Growing up, I was the one who had dish-duty every single day. I’m the oldest of four girls so it was one of the many chores I needed to do on a daily basis. We lived in an apartment all my childhood life so washing dishes by hand was the norm for me. That is until my husband and I bought our first … [Read more...]
