The Rug Doctor Pro-Deep is my new best friend. Seriously, I want to hang out with it on a weekly basis. Over the summer my 4 kids and 2 dogs destroyed my carpet. We already needed new carpet because when we moved in 2 years ago the owners put in white carpet. White carpet with any amount of kids does not go over well. 

And guess what Denver friends? We are one of the first markets to try out the brand new Rug Doctors! When I say brand new, I mean I was the absolute first person to check out and use the Rug Doctor that I rented today. The new systems are available around Denver and I rented mine at the King Soopers in Wheat Ridge, at 3400 Youngfield St. I have to give a shout out to Chavonne who helped me renting my Rug Doctor. She explained how they just received these new machines in. She was very knowledgable and helpful on which one I should choose. There were two to choose from. The Pro-Deep is something you would want to rent if you were doing multiple carpeted rooms. upholstery, area rugs and other soft surfaces. The other option is the Pro-Portable Spot and Detailer System. It is light and portable and easy to use. You would want to rent this one if you were detailing your car or using it for a smaller space as it has power on the go.

I went for the Pro-Deep because as you can see in the pictures below, I was in need of some deep cleaning. Our carpet was so gross we even got 2 estimates for new carpet. I have debated on pulling up the carpet and installing wood floor or hiring a professional carpet cleaner.  We have thought of everything to try. But all those options were expensive!

We plan to replace the carpet one day.  For now, we decided on cleaning the carpet. Take this into account…hiring a professional carpet cleaner on average costs $250 per visit. Renting a Rug Doctor Pro-Deep and buying the cleaning that goes with it is around $55. Plus, depending on the area I had done, I got all 3 of our rooms cleaned in 1 1/2 hours. The last time we had a professional clean our carpets, it took 3 hours.

They also have different Pro formula solutions. I chose the Pet solution since my dogs did most of the damage to our carpets.

Room 1:

This is the look of guilt. This dog is probably 95% responsible for how my carpets look. Thank goodness he is cute.

This room isn’t used very much but this carpet had stains from the previous owner. The Rug Doctor made quick work and removed the stains with ease.

So here is our results from room 2:

This was my 2 youngest kids’ rooms. Now before you yell at me for having such dirty carpets in my kids room, I actually deep cleaned them a few months back. I even try to spot clean every week when I notice a new stain but nothing seemed to help. I said a prayer for this Rug Doctor before starting to clean this room because it had its job cut our for it. I knew the Rug Doctor would clean the carpet and at least get up all the pet debris but I COULD NOT BELIEVE how it removed all the stains. 

I wonder how long is it socially acceptable for my kids to not walk on this carpet? I want to keep it looking this good 😉

Room 3:

This next room was a lost cause. This is my kids’ closet room. They don’t have their own closet because we are fancy. The reason why is we have this weird extra room upstairs that isn’t big enough for a bedroom. One day I realized this would be a perfect closet for the kids’ clothes. They barely spend any time in this room, so it’s amazing how gross the carpet had gotten. My dogs seem to think this room is their personal toilet. 

I had low hopes that all the stains would come up, but after seeing the previous rooms results, I was cautiously optimistic. The white streaks are just where I ran the Rug Doctor and will disappear. But can you believe the difference?! My husband is going to think I got new carpet!

So now you know why The Rug Doctor and I are best friends. Deep cleaning our carpets is a job I like to do while the kids are in school. Now I am going to share my Top 5 Things to deep clean while the kids are in school!

1. Carpets: Now you know how easy it is to clean your carpets with The Rug Doctor so quit making excuses and rent one asap.
2. The carpet in your car: I kept wondering if there is a company what would re-carpet my suburban because it looks as bad as my house carpets did. Now I can rent a Pro-Portable Spot and Detailer System to clean my car. 
3. Bathroom: You would think I lived in a locker room with the state of my bathrooms. The last disaster to hit my kids bathrooms was them deciding to wash our dog in their tub.  Now it is covered in dirt that has clogged up the drain. Is there a bathroom doctor I can rent?!
4. Furniture in living room: This room is where we spend all our time and it’s wear our friends hang out when they come over. You can’t imagine how much cereal can be stuffed into the creases of the couch. Thank goodness there is a Rug Doctor for that!
5. Yourself: This for you hard-working mommas who are too tired, broke, or too distracted to take care of yourself. Get a pedicure every once in a while, take a sauna and deep clean from the inside out, get a deep tissue massage or just hang out with your girlfriends over dinner. One tip to be able to do things for yourself is sell some things you don’t need. I am in a few local Facebook groups and when I find something I don’t need, like our stroller, I sold it in one of my groups and made $65! That paid for a pedicure for myself and my little girl and it was totally worth it. 

If you are in Denver you can either call your local store that rents Rug Doctors (Walmart, King Soopers or Safeway) and ask if they have the new systems.  Or you can email me or comment below. I will be happy to tell you which exact stores have them now.

 We had a girls night last weekend in Denver and ate at Senor Bear. It is some of the BEST food I have had in Denver. The fundido is incredible, the grouper and salmon are worth going back again. It’s amazing, you should try it. My last child had his 4th birthday party this past weekend. I feel like my kids are all getting older and might not want theme parties soon so he had a dinosaur party and I went all out. I found tons of dinosaur decorations including this sign!

 I can’t believe this is the view from my kids school. Amazing! 

 And my youngest started playing soccer and it’s the cutest thing I have ever seen. He is so proud of himself. 

And last but not least, our goldendoodle loves us so much he will force his way into my lap even when I am working. 

I made these bad boys for Labor day and they were a hit. I have been trying to lay off the sweets for a while now and I forgot how much I love to bake! And this recipe could not be any easier. Trust me, you will love it! Make sure and either buy 2 packs of cookie dough or one of the really big packs.

I was given free tickets to the adventure park, all opinions are my own.

We even had a picnic on top of the mountain.

And we found this beautiful chapel where they were getting ready to have a wedding. 

One of the new activities is the ninja course. This was my kids favorite thing this year. I am so glad they added this because they didn’t have it last year. Even my little girl went through the course twice and loved it.

It looks like the last weekend they are open is this weekend so get your tickets now!

I was sent a free sample from Dog Collar World, all opinions are my own.

I sure love to spoil my puppies and with my little girl poodle June, I can’t help but dress her in the prettiest things I can find. Dog Collar World sent me a personalized collar for my little girl and I am in love. I have tried tons of collar and name tags and haven’t found one I have loved. She has even been going without a collar for the last few weeks because I didn’t like her old collar.

I also like to buy her things you can get at a big box store that every dog down the street will have. Dollar Collar World offers the cutest collars that are also sturdy and will last a long time. After trying out tons of collars, I have seen first hand lots of them shred, don’t last, or fade and I am tired of buying a new collar every week. This dog collar from Dog Collar World is the collar I have been looking for.

I love this collar from Dog Collar World because they sent me the cutest pink collar with her name personalized on it. That’s what is so cool about this company is you can pick out your collar than have it personalized however you want. 

Here are some reason why these collars stand out from the rest:

• Cotton fabric with interior stabilizer – 8 layers of tough durability!
• Curved side release buckle and nickel plated D-ring
• Flower & bowtie accessories are hand sewn in coordinating fabrics, attach to collar with double-sided Velcro for easy removal
• Adjustable for several sizes
• Custom name and/or phone number embroidered on any collar
• Several Holiday patterns (Christmas, Halloween, Winter, etc)

Check out this buffalo plaid collar. I am ordering this one for my other dog cedar. I have been looking for this color EVERYWHERE and couldn’t find one. 

 Prices range from $7-$20 depending on size and if you wants collar personalized. To shop the different styles, visit https://www.dogcollarworld.com.
