If you want your kids to help clean up their messes, I highly recommend using plant-based cleaning products from Seventh Generation. They are safe and effective, not only for your home and family, but designed with the planet and future generations in mind.
If in the process of wrecking your home, your kid also wrecks his or her outfit (highly likely), Seventh Generation Free & Clear laundry detergent is tough on stains, but gentle on skin.
Seventh Generation Free & Clear laundry detergent contains no dyes, synthetic fragrances or artificial brighteners. FYI, artificial brighteners are present in most other detergents and use synthetic chemicals to make fabrics “glow” in the presence of ultraviolet light. They don’t have anything to do with our clothes actually being cleaner— they only create the illusion that our laundry is brighter and whiter.
Or you could get Extreme Makeover Girl to create the same effect with some house paint!
Oh this was tough!!! My two top contenders are the consensus it appears too!!! Glad my kids haven’t gotten into this kind of mischief (yet).
This was hard. I loved the super bubble bath and the human smurfs the best, but when it comes to actually having to clean the mess up. I think that home makeover one makes me cringe the most. Those white foot prints would probably be there ’til she left for collage. Some of them are dang funny!
Obviously not many people have tried to clean up peanut better – I would employee the family dog at that point – shower by mutt? hahaha – And the insides of a bean bag anything – the static that comes with those little beads = nightmare. This post/series is hilarious and terrifying at the same time!
Damn, these are epic! Do we vote on the physical range of the damage, the aesthetic horror of the damage, or the flat out uncleanability of the damage? How to vote???
None!!! I shared ur site with 100 plus friends and you didn’t even give my baby a chance!!! 99.9 percent of the kids were inside!!! And most looked staged!! Unfair .. Definety unfollowing ya’ll ….
I have no idea what you’re talking about or who your baby is, but I hope you teach him to be a good sport.
I guess you don’t pay attention to the pics ur followers post!!
I guess when you get into the $1000 prize range people get testy.
Uh I don’t think that’s how this works. Crybaby.
HAHA This comment thread and Mommyshorts’ reply is the reason I will continue to follow this blog FOREVER! Oh so funny
lol, wow, feeling entitled much!? sniveling always = auto DQ!
I sent it 3 times!!
I can’t even vote. The level of anxiety I experience just thinking about some of these messes is crazy!!!
Funny story I went to my moms today and my 2 year was quiet and out of sight. I was in the middle of re-potting a bamboo plant so grandma went looking for him she found him in her room and all i hear is “go get your mother.” my son whines and stays. my sister gets up and goes to moms door and starts laughing. i wipe off my hands and ask my mom should i bring the camera, immediately thinking I wonder if this is gonna be worthy of the messy kid contest. I get to my moms room and my son is sitting in the middle of his grandma’s bed grinning ear to ear with a red sharpie in one hand and a black sharpie in the other. he had drawn all over the sheets the pillowcase, the comforter and himself. i didnt get pictures. i really should have.
Is it awful that in looking at most of these I think:
NOPE, get me a cleaning service on the line STAT.
Diaper blowouts and puke in the car are one thing, but house paint? NOPE. Call the pros.
[…] told me he left it so that I could take photos! Ha!" – Heather And that's how Brayden and Cade won the Big Mess Little Kid photo contest and earned their mom an $1000 Target gift card and a selection of products from Seventh […]
4 kids, and one baby, really tells you we’ve had our fair share of messes.
When our eleven year old, Maizy, was just a toddler she was playing quietly in the kitchen. She was always so quiet and we didn’t assume she was up to something. She had taken all kinds of condiments from the fridge and had squirted them everywhere. Apparently, it was monster spray because she was going through a “monster under the bed” phase and she wanted “Blobby Icky Monster” to go away.
When our seven year old was three, she was fascinated with the Nutella jar. She tried to get it from the counter numerous times, but we stopped her. When Grammy came to babysit her while we were in Hawaii, Grammy went to get something from upstairs when we turned onto our road to come home, Abby leaped and got the Nutella jar which Grammy had opened before she went upstairs. When we came in the front door, she was covered from head to toe in Nutella.
My two toddles Piper, Addie, and David Michael (baby) recently made their own mess. Powered sugar and Nutella covered all three kids and the kitchen.
All five have made messes! I better start being helicopter parent!
