9 things parents do that deserve to be rewarded
Parenting is awesome. And really, really hard. We know, understatement of the year. That's why we think you'll appreciate the laugh you'll get from watching a few (or nine) of the crazy things we parents do every single day that deserve to be rewarded. And nope, we didn't even include anything related to a bathroom. Shock face! From letting kids "do your make-up" and picking up disgusting tissue piles, to taking a family vacation (is it really a vacation?), commiserate with us as you watch this funny video for our fantastic partner, Best Western. Take a peek and see if you can spot all 9. <span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span> And why do we love Best Western? They do reward parents! Well, for taking that family vacation, that is. Their Best Western Rewards program, which is free to join, gives members super cool benefits, like exclusive member rates, instant rewards, and points that never expire, plus a whole lot more depending on your status level. No blackout dates? Yes please! At our recent stay in Sedona courtesy of Best Western, we got a $10 Best Western gift card, and a fun gift bag full of snacks and water bottles. Just for being a member. Whoo!

The view from our Best Western room was a pretty sweet reward on its own.
