Good Night, Sleep Tight!

After going through infertility, I became really cautious about chemicals in our home and those that we’re exposed to. I became even more cautious once my two kiddos entered the world. Even still, it was something that I never even thought about until looking up mattresses for Camden and Ella’s new rooms (those reveals will be coming soon) …standard mattresses are filled with chemical pesticides. Umm WHAT? Petrol based foams, polyurethanes, formaldehydes, and sprayed on chemical fire retardants just to name a few….they have been linked to a variety of serious health issues such as cancer, infertility, obesity and developmental brain disorders. Scary, right?

You spend about 1/3 of your life in bed and those could be surrounded by chemical pesticides! I did not want that for Camden and Ella, so I started researching “organic mattresses” and narrowed it down to Awara! We ended up getting two twin mattresses and we are so happy with them!!

Don’t these two cuties look so happy?

This is when we got the mattresses in the mail, they were so excited for their big kid beds!

Unboxing! Isn’t it crazy that these could fit in this box? I’m amazed!!

Awara is built with natural, organic, and sustainable materials that support the overall well-being of you, family, your home, and the Earth! They are organic luxury hybrid mattresses with natural foam, New Zealand wool fiber, and Sri Lakan latex and wrapped coil springs to provide contour and a touch of bounce. It has no formaldehydes or toxic chemicals. They are known for their weightless feeling and they provide a neutral spine alignment. It has a 365-day night trial, forever warranty, and free shipping and returns.

I also love Awara’s mission! For every mattress sold, 10 fruit trees are planted in Africa to help restore forests. This allows farmers to feed their families and gain financial stability. How wonderful is this?

Lesson learned…there are chemicals in about everything. Make sure you do your research before buying something so important for and you and your family! We got their Awara mattresses a few weeks ago and both kiddos have slept great on them! In fact, I’ve fallen asleep a few times while putting them to bed! It might be time for Judd and I to upgrade to one too. 😉

Awara was so gracious to provide a discount code, use TWINMOM to get $350 off your purchase! Sleep tight!!

Half Way to My Perfect Smile with SnapCorrect

I am officially half way done with my SnapCorrect Invisible Aligners! Woohoo!

If you didn’t read my first post about SnapCorrect, you can find that here. I shared about why I decided to do this, taking impressions, getting my treatment plan, and starting treatment!

It took about 5 trays before I saw changes. At first, I was worried but then I realized that the aligners were moving teeth toward the back of my mouth to make room for my overcrowded teeth in the front. I literally woke up one morning and noticed the change for the first time and from there on, it’s gotten better and better! My mom even said just yesterday that my teeth looked “perfect”.

Here is a picture of my smile before I started treatment. The teeth were just a little crowded in the front and two were getting more crooked by the day.Here is my picture today, half way done with treatment.

I should also mention that I knew how to pose and hide my insecurities with my smile for pictures but now I don’t have to worry about that.

It’s easy, no one even notices that I’m wearing them, they are truly invisible. I probably wear them 23 hours a day, I only take them out when I’m eating or brushing my teeth. This also taught me how many times I snack during the day because I have to remove the aligners before I eat. Haha!

I get asked all of the time if they hurt and my answer is no! The first day when you put in a new set, it’s definitely tight but I would not say that it hurts at all. As you can tell, Camden wasn’t in the mood for pictures. 😉

I honestly think my teeth are almost perfect already and I’m only half way done (10 more trays to go)! I’m anxious and excited to see what the next 20 weeks (10 more trays) brings.

AutoBrush for Kids Review

Do you have kids? Have you heard of AutoBrush®? If not, prepare to get your mind blown! Here is my full review of AutoBrush for Kids.

No one ever told me how hard it would be to get your kids to brush their teeth or do a good job at brushing their teeth. I tried all the methods and googled everything. Twice a day I dreaded teeth brushing time with my kiddos because it seemed to take forever! Until now…we started using AutoBrush® and haven’t looked back. I no longer dread teeth brushing time, I actually enjoy it because my kids love it and it takes 30 seconds! Camden and Ella ask multiple times a day to brush their teeth because they enjoy the AutoBrush® so much!

AutoBrush® for Kids is a fun, automatic electric toothbrush. It’s designed to brush all teeth at once. All you do, is put the toothpaste on the top and bottom tray, put it in their mouth, turn it on and it cleans their teeth for 30 seconds! It’s effective and very convenient. My kids love to dance to the music while it’s cleaning.

They have fun animals to choose from, Camden uses the Zebra (he named it ZigZag) and Ella selected the Hippo (she named her Eloise)! It’s even fine to use if your child has braces.

Here is a video of us using it:

Dreaming of Superheroes and Princesses with Hiya Health

Do you remember as a little kid dreaming about what you would be when you grew up? One year I wanted to be a pet shop owner, then a teacher, a CEO, a wedding planner, and always a mom. Right now, Camden and Ella want to be a superhero and a princess! We tell them if they want to continue to be a superhero and a princess, they need to stay healthy.

Keeping the Kids Healthy with Hiya Health Vitamins

We are trying to instill good lifelong habits, one of these being lifelong health and taking your vitamins every day! This is important for everyone but especially picky eaters like my kiddos! After doing a lot of research, I decided to use Hiya for Camden and Ella’s vitamins!

Did you know the typical vitamin has 1 teaspoon of sugar in it? Umm what?!? I had no idea this was the case until I started researching and was so disgusted! Then I found Hiya and was sold because these aren’t the typical vitamins you see on store shelves. These vitamins are different because they are made with real fruits and veggies, no gelatin, eco-friendly, and no sugar, preservatives, or chemicals!

Here are their supplement facts, look at that fruit and veggie blend!! This makes my mom heart happy!

Camden and Ella love these and they even send fun bottles with stickers that you decorate! How cute, right? And I have to mention another amazing perk…they ship these directly to your door!!!

Keeping Our Floors Clean with the Shark VACMOP Floor Cleaner

This post was sponsored by Shark® but all opinions are my own.

I don’t know about you but not much makes me happier than clean floors. Call me crazy, but I literally can’t go to sleep at night if our floors aren’t clean. Since having kids, I feel like I’m always cleaning my floors which can be a huge pain because I have to get a vacuum out and then a mop…until now! I was so excited when I found out about this new product that Shark came out with, the Shark VACMOP. It cleans our wood laminate as well as our tile floors. It combines powerful suction and spray mopping in one no-touch disposable pad and it’s so easy to use! This was such a good investment for our family.

Camden and Ella are either usually hanging on me as I clean or pretending to help clean! Camden is especially obsessed that it has headlights.

How It Works

If you’re like me, you’re probably wondering how something can vacuum and mop! The powerful Shark vacuum suction captures small and large debris directly in the disposable pad. It’s the first product with a disposable pad to lock away debris after it’s vacuumed up directly into the pad. You can also dispense a cleaning solution on-demand to mop with the disposable pad for a complete clean. The disposable pad has four absorbent mopping layers to trap wet messes. It locks away dry debris like dirt and pet hair and then you can toss the pad with one click; you never even have to touch the dirty pad! Doesn’t the Shark VACMOP sound awesome?

Here is a short video of it in motion.

Here is a picture of our dirty pad after we cleaned our floors! Amazing, right?

Additional Things I Love

The starter kit comes with everything you need- the VACMOP, multi surface cleaner, and the pads. This really is everything you need to get started!

Another thing I love is how lightweight it is! I’m usually holding a child or a furbaby and I can do that and pick this up at the same time, it’s easily under 5 pounds! No more carrying a 50-pound vacuum to clean up a small mess! Woohoo! You also don’t have to worry about plugging it in before a use, it’s cordless with a rechargeable lithium ion battery. The battery seems to last a long time too which has been very helpful! You can get the Shark VacMop at SharkClean.com.

Chore/Behavior Chart for Kids

We are out of the “terrible twos” and we now have “threenagers”. Haha! I really didn’t think the terrible two’s were all that terrible, there were definitely some hard moments and learning moments for all of us. Now that we’ve entered three, my two really understand right from wrong and are great at helping with things around the house. However, I needed something to motivate them so I started doing some research and found these Chore/Responsibility Charts from Calendar Kids on Etsy!

I love these because I can set responsibilities or chores and then motivate them to complete these. Their responsibilities now are pretty basic but as they get older, I can change them on this chart.

I customized ours to match Camden and Ella’s room. The owner, Lindy was SOOO sweet and amazing to work with. Didn’t they turn out adorable?

Each board comes with:

28 Chore Tiles

13 Reward Tiles

And 50 Star Tiles

I also bought additional customized tiles. Many of the chores above my kids aren’t ready for so I added some that my kids can do every day and things we are working on. Examples of these are: listened to Mom and Dad, didn’t yell, ate my food, had zero accidents, and shared my toys. I know as time goes on, these responsibilities/chores will change.

Camden and Ella are doing great with these! I can already tell a difference because they are motivated to do more of these things!! You will notice too that they each have some different responsibilities. Ella is our picky eater so I’m trying to get her to try more foods. Camden is our LOUD child and he is working on using an inside voice.

As you can tell, we just love their new Chore Charts and I just had to share this awesome find with you! Calendar Kids makes many other adorable products like Weekly Calendars, Daily Calendars, different types of Chore Charts, Potty Charts, Magnets, and many other printables!! You can also check them out on Instagram.
