Make Memories and Get Dirty This Summer
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Maytag. All opinions are 100% mine.
A friend of mine has a doormat that makes me smile every time I visit her house. It states, “Excuse the mess, we’re busy making memories”. It’s so true. Some of the best memories are made when you and everything around you gets dirty.
We recently went to the local blueberry farm to pick blueberries. It was a hot, sticky day and we were down on the ground in the dirt putting our blueberries into baskets. It was productive and fun. The dirt on our clothes was a non-issue. The point was we were having fun together AND making happy memories.
Some other fun and dirty activities we’ve enjoyed this summer are trips to the local park. Bridget always comes back sweaty and with dirt stains on her clothes.
How about a play in the hay? The blueberry farm here has an area for kids to burn off some energy.
For older kids, zip lines are an exciting activity. My oldest daughter went to our local waterpark where they have a zipline. She had a blast and can’t wait to go back.
If I were always focused on staying clean at all times, we’d miss out on so many amazing activities. Let’s not forget trips to the beach, family baseball games, hikes, and more. Sometimes the best memories are made when you get the filthiest. Even though I consider myself a “clean freak”, I’m not afraid of dirt. Having a high quality washer and dryer in your home like the new Maytag Top Load washer and dryer is no match for a little summer stains!
With Maytag’s newest Top Load Washer and Dryer pair, you have the tools required to tackle any dirt or mess that comes your way. I mean Maytag laundry is the official washer and dryer of Major League Baseball and we know how dirty it can get! We’re talking big league stains…literally! I know I can never leave a baseball game without having grass stains and being covered in dirt.

this best fun involves getting a little dirty
I think it’s awesome when kids go out and get dirty while they are having fun! It’s good for them.
The best memories are always the ones that involved getting some dirt on you. It means you got out there and did something!
My son has no trouble making a huge mess whenever he plays outside. I can usually count on changing his clothes and washing his shoes every day.
We’ve been making lots of memories that involve getting outside since we moved to Florida. It’s so beautiful down here.
I have way too many messy kid photos to chose from! I would love to enter for a chance at winning this trip.
It’s not fun if you can’t get a little dirty! LOL. That sounds bad but, really–that’s how the best memories are made.
My kids would absolutely love to go ziplining! Man, I would love to go ziplining!
All I need is to take the kids to my dad’s Farm in Wyoming and they can easily make some fun dirty memories!
I think the zipline for the whole family would be fun! How about a good mud run!?
What great and fun activities. I actually IG’d and tweeted out a photo a bit ago, hoping to win. I need a new washer 🙂 THanks for the heads up
I love memories that get the kids dirty! They seem to enjoy them the most as well, its always fun!
If my kids ain’t dirty, I know they are not feeling well… ha ha. My kids are always running around outside getting dirty – and I’m ok with that!
It looks like she had lots of fun! Sometimes getting dirty is just fun!
I would love a new washer and dryer. My dryer is recently taking about 3 times to completely dry a load.
We used to go and play in the rain when the kids were younger. It was always fun getting dirty.
oh i love this. getting a little dirty never hurt anyone. lol
We love to get dirty having fun and playing! We just picked raspberries up here in Alaska, that is messy fun!
I don’t know what I’d do without our washing machine! The sheer volume of clothing my kids make dirty seems impossible!
Getting dirty and fun go hand in hand. I have the best memories from my childhood when I was getting dirty and playing.
My kids don’t have fun unless it involves getting dirty. I have so many childhood memories of getting dirty and having fun, mainly at the playground.
Love to find great instagram contests like this one! And my kids certainly love filthy play that’s for sure. 🙂 Thanks for the heads up!
This is pretty cool – I need to check it out as I make loads of great Instagram pictures!
Most kids love either getting wet or dirty – that’s when a good washer comes in very handy. I’ve never worried about my kids getting dirty, the main thing was that they had fun together. 🙂
I had to consciously make an effort to not stop the kids from getting dirty… but once I came to grips with it, our play has been much more fun!
