I must really be feeling the fall spirit, because somewhere in the process of opening the rest of my August calendar… I accidentally changed the month to October. 😂

I promise I’m not booking that far in advance. I’m just a girl. 🤷🏼‍♀️🍂

Anyway… August is officially open! But you’ll have to wait for October until… well… October. 😆

Out of office tonight for a concert 😎 back to cleaning your seats tomorrow! Have you booked your summertime cleaning yet? We’ve got a few more openings in July, and August is already open for scheduling!

Feeling a little sentimental today, so I thought… why not flashback to not only one of my first cleans - but also one of my favorites 😍✨💛

We’ve got some openings for this weekend & next week! Now’s your time to book that cleaning.

You guys do realize I have the most satisfying job EVER… right?!

I shared the full story on my personal page, but I felt this message belonged here too because this page reaches so many parents and caregivers who may need to hear it.

Seven years ago, I walked away from an abusive relationship with one child in my arms, another on the way, very little to my name, and no idea what my future would look like. I was scared, overwhelmed, and convinced I was alone.

Today, my life looks completely different.

I have a career I love, a business I’m incredibly proud to serve our community through, three amazing kids, and a home filled with the peace I once thought I’d never have.

The journey wasn’t easy. Healing rarely is. It took years of rebuilding, learning, growing, and believing in myself again. There were setbacks, difficult days, and moments when I questioned everything. But every small step forward mattered.

One thing I’ve learned is this: you never truly know what someone is carrying. Behind every parent who drops off a car seat, every family you pass in the grocery store, or every smile you see online, there may be a story of incredible resilience.

If you’re in a difficult season right now, whether you’re leaving an unhealthy relationship, rebuilding your life, or simply trying to make it through today, I want you to know this: You are not alone.

There is life after survival. There is peace after chaos. There is hope, even when you can’t see it yet.

My mission has always been about keeping children safe, but I also hope this page can be a place where parents feel supported, encouraged, and reminded that they’re stronger than they realize.

If you ever need someone to listen, a safe place to vent, or simply someone to remind you that you’re capable of getting through this, my inbox is always open 💛

Let’s talk about the damage improper car seat maintenance can cause.

Before I became educated on car seat safety, I made some of these mistakes too. I thought I was doing the right thing by giving the seat a deep clean. The reality is that some cleaning methods can actually make a car seat less safe.

Here’s why:

🧼 Washing or soaking the harness straps
Harness webbing is engineered to stretch a very specific amount during a crash to help absorb crash forces. Machine washing, soaking, or using harsh cleaners can weaken the fibers, change the webbing’s properties, or remove the manufacturer’s protective coating. Even if the damage isn’t visible, the harness may not perform as designed.

🧪 Using bleach, disinfectants, stain removers, or harsh chemicals
These products can break down plastics, weaken fabric, and damage the harness. Some chemicals can also leave residue that continues to degrade materials over time.

💦 Pressure washing or completely soaking the seat
Water can become trapped inside the energy absorbing foam and other internal components. Excessive force from pressure washing can also damage the seat or force water into areas that aren’t meant to get saturated.

🌡️ Using high heat to dry the cover or harness
High heat can shrink fabrics, warp plastic pieces, or damage components that need to fit together precisely.

🚫 Using parts that aren’t from the manufacturer
Every component of a car seat is crash tested as a complete system. Using aftermarket parts that weren’t designed for that specific seat can change how it performs in a crash.

The scary part? Many of these types of damage aren’t visible. A seat can look perfectly fine but no longer perform the way it was designed to protect your child.

That’s why I clean every seat according to its manufacturer’s instructions. It’s not just about making it look new - it’s about preserving the safety features that could save a child’s life 💛

With the holiday weekend coming to an end, I was finally able to finalize Julys openings ❤️🤍💙

The part I don’t talk about:

You all know that I pride myself on being not just a good business owner, but an exceptional one. Leading with kindness, compassion, and a genuine love for this community. But what I take the most pride in is being a comforting, present, and supportive mother.

Most days, those two roles work together. This time, they didn’t.

Some of you know this, and some may not: I’m a single mom with full custody of my girls while also working a full-time job. I run this business during school hours, on work breaks, and most often after my kids are asleep for the night.

I was in the middle of cleaning this seat during a recent thunderstorm when our power went out. My girls were terrified, begging me to sleep with them because they have severe anxiety when storms roll through. I immediately reached out to this mama to explain the situation and let her know I would do everything I could, but I might need to pause and finish the following morning between getting the kids to the YMCA and starting my workday.

Thankfully, she had a spare seat available and was incredibly understanding.

But that isn’t always the case.

I’m responsible for one of the most important devices a family owns - the thing that keeps their child safe every time they get in the car. Not everyone has access to a backup seat when life throws a curveball, and that responsibility weighs heavily on me.

This time, I was able to put my children first, and I’m grateful for that.

But if I’m being honest, that isn’t always possible. Sometimes I have to prioritize my business commitments, and as a mother, that’s a difficult pill to swallow. It’s one of the parts people don’t often see - the constant balancing act between showing up for your community and showing up for your own children.

I’ll always do my best to be both. Some days I succeed beautifully. Other days, I simply do the best I can with what’s in front of me.

Sorry for the silence lately, I’ve been busy with all things car seats, family, & summer fun ✨

We’ve got some more openings in June before we jump into July!

06/22/2026

One thing I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is why I started this business in the first place.

When I first opened, I didn’t base my pricing on what everyone else was charging. Instead, I did a community experiment where families told me what they felt my services were worth. I wanted my prices to reflect what was realistic and affordable for the people I was hoping to serve & not just what the market said I should charge.

As costs continue to rise, I’ve been asked a few times if I’ll be increasing my prices. The answer is no. My goal has always been to keep these services accessible for as many families as possible, and I want to continue honoring that.

I’ve always believed that every child deserves a clean, safe car seat, regardless of their family’s financial situation. If you’re ever in a position where cost is the only thing standing in the way, please reach out. I’m always happy to have a conversation and see what we can work out together.

Some of you may also remember the community funded giveaways I used to do. Community members could donate any amount they wanted, and those donations went directly toward providing free cleanings for local families. It was one of my favorite ways to give back because it truly showed what can happen when a community comes together to support one another.

Would anyone be interested in seeing those giveaways make a comeback? I’d love to hear your thoughts 💛
