After spending an hour this morning trying to shampoo my mom's carpet I decided a few things-
1-We will have lots of laminate flooring in our house
2- All our carpet will be dark colors- probably brown or red
3- I will shampoo our carpet at least once a week (which is why we will have mostly laminate flooring, so there isn't as much carpet to clean...)
I do love carpet, especially really fuzzy, soft carpet that squishes between your toes and makes you want to lay down on it. But cleaning it is insane. I don't want to be one of those moms who always says- take off your shoes! Don't eat that in here! Your getting everything dirty! And I don't want to put more importance on how our floors look then having good, fun memories with my family. But at the same time, when you spend that much money on something I have a hard time not taking care of it. So if we already have dark carpet and laminate flooring I don't have to be as worried!!

We have carpet in our dining room, which is ridiculous. No one should ever have carpet in a dining room. I've also discovered that putting down cheap but cute rugs is good because when they get too bad you can just toss them and get a new one. Jasper has specific rugs in the living room and his room that he can sit on to eat, so I don't feel like I'm being one of those moms, but it keeps the main carpet clean.
