Free To Be My {Messy} Boys

I’ve heard about parents of boys that love to sit and build with Legos or take things apart or even draw.  Those boys are not my boys.  It’s a struggle to get them to sit still long enough to spill the paint-with-water cup before they want to be on to doing something else.  They move faster than I can keep up and they often leave a wake of chaos behind them.

FREE TO BE ADVENTUROUS

No one told me when I had three boys that I was actually bringing three tornadoes into my home, but that’s what it’s turned out to be.  Their clothes are pure and solid evidence that they are messy, mischievous, adventurous boys.  They are free to be my messy boys, because that’s how they learn best.  But, I have had to figure out how to fight their mess-making adventures.  I think I have probably googled how to get out just about every kind of mess you can imagine from my kids’ clothing.  Grass, mud, oil, blood, paint, markers, dyes, staining foods, you name it.  Whether it’s a mud puddle too good to pass up, a bloody nose, or the remains of a very delicious spaghetti dinner, they leave their mark on my childrens’ clothes.  What’s a momma to do?  I don’t have the budget to replace everything they soil and stain.  How about you?  No?

FREE TO BE SENSITIVE

All three of my kiddos have some mild skin sensitivities, but Big J is the most sensitive.  He has some eczema that acts up when harsh chemicals, dyes or other substances come in contact with his skin.  The longer the contact, the worse the irritation and I do have a boy that goes through more clothes than he needs to in a day, but Big J has grown out of that phase.  Thankfully!  I’ve discovered some great ways to fight their monster messes without hindering their adventures and still treat their skin with the sensitivity it needs.  Do you worry about exposing your family to harsh chemicals and dyes?  Does your family experience any sensitive skin problems?

FREE TO BE all CLEAN

I fight the messy adventures and stains with all free clear products when I’m cleaning up the laundry messes in our home.  It is hypoallergenic and fragrance free.  I can wash our clothes, blankets, bedding and towels in all free clear without sacrificing a good, deep clean.  all free clear is the #1 recommended detergent brand by Dermatologists, Allergists, and Pediatricians for sensitive skin.  It’s tough on stains yet gentle enough for the whole family.  It’s safe for use in standard and HE machines.

With the new all free clear OXI mighty pacs and all free clear OXI boosters I can get even their whites back to the color they are supposed to be!  The NEW OXI booster whitens and brightens clothes. It’s safe on sensitive skin. It costs 15% less than the leading brand AND you can use it to remove stains around the house (it can be used on carpet, upholstery and patio furniture, and more)!

The free clear products in all‘s laundry care line ensure that my family’s clothing is clean while keeping our skin safe from harsh chemicals and cleansers.  We can play hard and make messes all day long and then snuggle together for a movie night.  The last thing I need is to spend my time trying to get out stubborn stains over and over.  There are too many adventures I don’t want to miss out on.  all free clear helps make sure I’m there for every single one of them.

I'm Krista. Ringleader here on While He Was Napping, wife to my handsome Mr. Right & momma to my THREE energetic boys, Big J (9), Little J (6) & Little N (4). We FINALLY added a beautiful little girl to our family last December.

I’m knee-deep in Tonka trucks & Thomas trains. I survive our crazy days with Vanilla Coke, Sonic slushies, sweet snuggles and little giggles. When I tuck them in tight & kiss them good night, I get a little time to create & just be me.
