What type of rule do you live by: No shoes or shoes in the house? Our family likes to take off our shoes when we walk into the house through our mudroom. However, when we have guests over we never ask them to take off their shoes. I truly can understand someone asking me, but I have never been asked to take mine off in someone’s house. As you can see we have light rugs in the boys rooms and their bathroom. I want to keep these rugs as clean as possible. That means NO EATING in their rooms either. HOWEVER, as a mom of boys and just in general as a mom, I need to keep these rugs in the best condition. Since these are “Shag” rugs, I believe this is very helpful for the boys, especially in the bathroom. Shag rugs are a good addition to a bathroom as it absorbs water easily and aesthetically pleasing. However, it also needs to be deep clean regularly to prevent mold and bacteria growth, especially if you will place it in a damp environment. I am truly obsessed with these gorgeous rugs in both Henry and William’s rooms and their bathroom. I hope you love them as much as I do. Stay tuned for more updates in the boys rooms in the next few days!! #markandday

As a mom I find it more helpful when I include the boys to clean. I choose a day when the weather is rainy or just too hot to go outside. It is the perfect time to ask the boys “do you want to help mom clean” and surprisingly Henry always says “YES”. That is because he wants to do the spraying and I am all for him using the sprays from Naturally It’s Clean. All of their products are safe for children and that is a huge win for me. Overall Naturally It’s Clean products are non-toxic to people, pets and the environment. They do not release harmful gases of any kind. They’re non-toxic, non-caustic, and safe for human, animal, and plant life.

I am so excited to see the boys faces on Easter. I think it is important to give something little and a fun basket to the kids. As they are younger, you can even reuse the baskets. They will not remember for a while! I love to place books for the holiday in the basket, that can be used for the following year. The books from Zonderkidz are inspired by imagination and innovation. They are perfect for ages 12 and under.

I have a hard time shopping for jeans, but I do think I found the perfect company to shop for jeans now. i&j denim jeans are a new jean company and I am loving their jeans. They have two kinds on the market right now called Pandora (boyfriend style) and Candela (skinny style). They build the brand on the belief that everyone deserves to feel beautiful while being an absolute boss.
In my opinion they are affordable, comfortable, and beautifully-fit. I can see myself wearing these jeans during the days on the go in flats with the kids at the park or just on a grocery run. Then I can see myself wearing them for nights out with wedges and heels. I am wearing size 28 in both jean style and I cannot figure out which one I love more. I LOVE THEM BOTH FOR DIFFERENT REASONS! The skinny jeans fit perfectly on my legs and have a style of “wow these are nice jeans” and I do think the Pandora jeans runs a little on the bigger size, but it is very comfortable and fitting. I feel very confident in these jeans and believe in this company for the reasons they started.
Right now for their start of their amazing company, they have an amazing promotion going on: Now through 3/22 in which customers receive 50% off their second pair of jeans – this equates to 2 pairs for roughly $200 (not including tax).
