How to keep a white comforter looking like new!




This photo is of my actual bedroom, and yes its possible to keep a clean white comforter....while being a mom! So here’s the trick!!

Have two comforters. I use the white one when my bed is made, and my teal one to sleep with. This will allow you to have bright white pillows and a beautiful crisp comforter because they are NOT BEING USED. Easy right? This is a trick that many stagers would use when selling a house that is actually being lived in. You will always have a fresh, clean look.

Option two is to buy two of the same comforter and switch them out often. This will prevent wear and tear, but can get expensive if you have expensive taste. I learned this trick from my mom, who did this with every bedroom set. However, she would use two different prints to change things up a bit when she would get tired of a look. 

I hope this helps! I do take the entire comforter and pillows off the bed, but you can also fold it at the foot of the bed, and drape your other comforter over you when going to bed. I decided to take the comforter off the bed entirely because sometimes I break the rules and the kids and I snack in the bed and snuggle up to watch our, I mean their :) favorite cartoons. I hope this helps!

Fun and SAFE indoor activities for KIDS.

  Fubbles- this spill proof container makes it easy for kids to blow bubbles without any worries of spilling. This is a must have for us, since our entire downstairs is tile. I would hate for her to spill and slip. Cocomelon or Farmees- my kids love to sing and dance. You can access these two nursery rhymes and kid friendly music free on youtube, itunes, and even Alexa. Flash cards- shapes, numbers, letters, and objects are fun and also very educational for little ones. If they don’t seem interested, just add some music and make up a song while having them guess whats on the card. Besides the obvious toys, having a box of dress up clothes is always fun, especially for little girls. I passed my dress up clothes down to my daughter, so she will be able to enjoy: Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Princess Jasmine, Belle from Beauty and the Beast and many more. Alphabet fun- you can actually put all those fun foam alphabet letters kids use in the bathtub by adding a tiny bit of water into...

Ambition and Productivity Killer

  How many of you thought of an incredible idea or had an opportunity at the tip of your fingers, but didn’t proceed because of self doubt or distractions?  My BIGGEST productivity killer is distractions. I’m a ‘dot my I’s and cross my T’s...’ kinda gal, and I can become easily distracted by my drive. If I’m browsing something, I want to know all the details. I like to know how things work, and I’m an extreme problem solver. This can easily distract you in our digital world. These aren’t bad traits. These just can be the result of time wasted scrolling on a newsfeed on social media that can bring absolutely nothing of value to your life.  With my time permanently off of social media, I’ve been connecting deeply with friends that I haven’t talked to in months. I’m more attentive to my kids and focused on being in the moment. I’ve placed my phone down without any anxiety about missing out on information from social media because the people I care most about I’m reaching out...

Mom-son Bond

  Let me first start out saying that I love my kids equally the same. There is no favoritism in the Thomas household. I don’t know what it is, I can’t explain it. The bond between mother and son is unexplainable. Ok, it doesn’t help with him being the baby in the family, but this kid can get away with anything. All he has to do is give me this look and I melt. My daughter on the other hand, she is ME! So I know exactly what’s going through her mind, and that’s why I don’t cave in as easily like I do with Jax. Maybe it’s because everything is a mystery and there is curiosity with him. I’ll never know the mindset of a boy, so everything is new and a discovery. They have a different thought process and they rationalize things differently as well. Whatever it is, I embrace it and I now understand what mom’s say about the bond between mother and son.
