\"\"\"\"I honestly don’t want to be a crack the whip Mom.
\nI have a laid back personality + I’m proud of it I guess you could say.
\nUNTIL it comes to\u00a0teaching work ethic.
\nThen my CRACK THE WHIP comes out full force. WATCH YO SELF.
\nI also believe in making it fun, so it balances out okay. I guess? \ud83d\ude42
\nWe\u00a0REFUSE to have entitled kids who
\nexpect\u00a0everything to be handed to them.
\nJon didn’t grow up like this + neither did I.
\nThe world is teaching them differently, but I’m bound + determined that it is still attainable. We are both business owners, they see us work, they see us play. TOGETHER is the key. Same team, always!<\/p>\n

\"\"I listened to this podcast<\/a> the other morning + have been on a mission ever since to develop our own family money philosophy.
\n\"\"Now that summer is pretty much here, it also means entertaining kids!
\nWORK BEFORE PLAY is what my Mom always taught me!
\nWe’ve been slowly switching out all our home products to more natural ones. Not only is the packaging alwaaaays better, the chemicals are what win me over in the end. Cute cleaning products are the new “cute work out clothes”.\u00a0 Ya feel me?<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"
\nGrove Collaborative<\/a> is my go to for CLEAN home products! They get delivered right to our doorstep!<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"
\nI found that having one spray bottle for each boy (labeled with names) + one brush for each boy (also labeled) eliminates a whoooole lotta unnecessary bickering. Try it! #winwin<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"Our boys seem to soak up the independence all while working as a team to achieve an end goal TOGETHER.
\n\"\" \"\" \"\"
\nAt the office they\u00a0alternate around following jobs:
\nWINDOWS
\nSMASH BOXES
\nDUST
\nDRY MOP
\nREFILL TP
\nTAKE OUT TRASH<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"
\nOBSESSED WITH ALL THINGS MEYER’S!! Have you tried any of their candles? TDF.
\n\"\" \"\"
\n\"\"
\nHere is a playlist <\/a>we bump\u00a0when we clean!
\nCrank them tunes!! Make it fun for the kids.
\nCleaning isn’t always fun, but they get to choose their attitude + I think it’s best for them to learn that when they are little.
\nTake breaks between songs.
\nWe are at the office no longer than 45 minutes.
\nIf we go longer they whine + drive me insane.
\n45 mins is our sweet spot!\u00a0\"\" \"\"I’ll be giving away a free MEYER’S HAND SET today on IG, head over to enter!!\u00a0I\u2019ve ALSO partnered with Grove\u00a0to give you a FREE Cleaning essentials gift set + a cute sink tray\u00a0when you try out Grove + spend $20 or more on your first order!

\"\" I’m no where near perfect as a Mother, but I’m trying my best to raise grateful kids in an ever evolving + entitled world. Thanks for being here to learn along with us! xx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
