We’ve got one week left before I pick the finalists for the #bigmesslittlekid contest. The winner will get an $1000 Target gift card plus a bunch of Seventh Generation products to clean up future messes.
Will the kid covered in lipstick make it? The kid who decorated his room with diaper cream? One thing’s for sure, the finalists will not include the baby who wiped his poop all over his crib. Or the kids where the sh*t literally hit the fan. (And yes, I am using “literally” correctly in that last sentence.)
I thought about it, but I just could not make the leap to put an actual picture of poop on my blog. Sorry, kids.
Plus, we have even worse messes that don’t make me want to vomit.

Finalists will be put to a vote on August 7th with the winners determined on August 14th.
You can see the full rules here.
All Seventh Generation products are plant-based formulas that are safe and effective, not only for your home and family, but designed with the planet and future generations in mind.
I’ve been giving Mazzy and Harlow the Seventh Generation Baby Wipes to help me wipe up messes, which is great because they are made from plant-derived ingredients, hypoallergenic and free of fragrances, dyes, parabens and phthalates. I’m not sure what all that means exactly except it’s totally fine for my kids to touch them.
Mazzy and Harlow actually love to help clean with the wipes and I learned that something thick and soft enough to wipe a baby’s bottom also works excellent on windows!

This post is sponsored by Seventh Generation, but all messes are your own.
Oh Ilanaaaaaa… tell the truth… this is your favorite partnership ever because you got your girls to do some manual labor for ya! 🙂 ha ha BTW Mazzy and Harlow did a great job on the glass doors! 🙂 Now send them to my house because my little tornadoes won’t clean up after themselves (including the 46 year old one).
The looks on their faces are priceless! Especially the boy drinking milk while the rest of the gallon is poured on the floor. And how do they get such perfect lipstick/Nutella/paint application?! Too funny.
Very dissapointed poop pictures won’t be included!!!
I love #13 with the milk. He’s so proud that he poured himself a glass of milk! He probably doesn’t even register the huge mess behind him and it would be hard to be mad when he looks so accomplished.
Number 26 was me as a kid. I’d lay in bed and pick at the wallpaper. My parents didn’t realize until we were moving out and they pulled my bed away from the wall.
#5 is utter annihilation. I can’t imagine what that cleanup must have been like. House paint dries pretty fast, and is incredibly difficult to get off skin and UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE to get off furnishings. That little girl’s parents would have had to cut her hair off, replace the fireplace guard and frame, and re-sand the wood floor. These pictures make me knee-tremblingly grateful that my 4 and 6 year olds have not inflicted this level of havoc upon me yet…
… and the mixture of defiance and guilt on her face as she hides behind the vandalised curtain of her hair is priceless. ????
Sorry, I just can’t get over that picture. Did she SWIM in the paint??? ????????
I saw a news article about this picture, she did it while her mom was nursing her baby brother and they found her with in seconds and she got a bath right after the picture but the damage was done to everything else.
My favorite is the little boy and the milk he looks so proud of his glass. As a parent I can be mad cuz I would be too proud that he did it by himself. After ushering him out of the room I would just wanna sit on the floor and cry while I wiped up the rest of the gallon.
Thus Christ has dealt fairly and faithfully with us, in telling us the worst we can meet with in his service; and he would have us deal so with ourselves, in sitting down and counting the cost. Persecutors are worse than beasts, in that they prey upon those of their own kind.
when your kids play and make a disaster like these photos, these cause to bring pest to your home, so I searched for a pest control company and I found “storat.com “an online social marketplace where you can find hundreds of the best deals and offers on Pest Control Abu Dhabi and other various services in the UAE
