Post contains affiliate links. I received the pictured product at no cost for review purposes. I was not otherwise compensated for this post, and all opinions are my own. I love Eco Nuts’ liquid soap nuts detergent (I used it during the flats/hand washing challenge), and Eco Nuts sent me their newest product, a natural ammonia bouncer.

Or so it seems. It feels nearly impossible to not “do” Santa or the Tooth Fairy unless you sit your child down at age 2 and tell them it’s all a fairytale, and repeat this to them several times per year. Why didn’t we do this? The same reason why I don’t do or say anything in front of a 2-5ish year old that I wouldn’t want repeated word for word and/or re-enacted a the worst possible time. They just don’t have the filter or ability to keep it to themselves and not spoil it for others. I don’t want to be strung up by another parent when my child ruins it for their child, despite being told that others believe & it would make them sad to have it ruined for them.
This post isn’t about whether you should or shouldn’t, nor is it about the reasons why. It’s incredible that “Santa” is as polarizing as circumcision or breastfeeding among moms! If you don’t “do Santa” you are a heartless, cruel childhood-stealing scrooge. That’s simply not true for us but we have failed miserably in our attempt to not do Santa, since we didn’t want to be that puppy kicker.

Maria wants to live in a world where cloth diapers are the norm and moms can make parenting choices without judgement. When she’s not chasing her 18, 14 and 11-year old kids around, you might find her checking out the latest gadgets, organizing something (again) or exercising in the fresh air.
