How to Start Potty Training Your Toddler Girl

Potty training is a huge milestone for any child. But I have a bit of a confession to make: even though I’m a mom of 3, I am a potty training novice. And I’ll be perfectly honest with you- I find the prospect of potty training my toddler to be a little bit intimidating. Maybe I shouldn’t let it intimidate me so much and just get it over with. But I’m at a loss for where to begin! With my oldest, I had a lot of help from my mom. Sweet B still isn’t fully potty trained. And now, there’s Squeaker. My rambunctious, curious, talkative, stubborn toddler. When it comes to potty training her, I have a feeling that the internet is going to be…

Toddler Approved Salmon Street Taco

I know there’s a craze known as Taco Tuesday. But to be perfectly honest with you, I don’t see the harm in having a taco everyday. I personally prefer taco salad or street tacos instead of what we’ve come to know as a taco. But just what is a street taco and how is it different? A street taco is usually served open-face and on a soft corn tortilla. You can then roll it up and consume it quickly. Toppings will vary but usually include salsa of some kind, onions, and cilantro. Recently, I had the urge to make my own street tacos at home. Now, while I would love to tell you that I am capable of making everything from scratch.. I take a…

“This review was made possible by iConnect and Bottersnikes & Gumbles. I was provided compensation to facilitate this post, but all opinions stated are 100% mine.” Recycling may seem like one of those things that only adults do. But that’s not the case at all. Kids can get involved with recycling and you can even have fun with it in the process. It’s really easy to do and you can make it into a game if they don’t seem to enthused. But you just never know what will happen. Some kids love to sort things so recycling might just be one of those things that they really get into! Recycling is sort of like exercising: we all know we should do it, but not all…

This post was sponsored by Chime as part of an Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review. Technology has seemingly infiltrated every aspect of life. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. From taking notes to ordering groceries to finding money saving coupons; there’s certainly an app for almost every need. As a mom, I like to take advantage of those apps whenever possible. Don’t get me wrong, of course, I still enjoy my old fashioned pen and paper (or pencil and paper) planner system. But when it comes to financial matters? Forget it. Numbers have never been my favorite thing and even now, as a more money conscience mom, I like to make sure that things are as simple…

Baby Wipes That You Can Feel Good About

“This post was sponsored by WaterWipes as part of an Ambassador Program for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.” As the parent of a non-verbal autistic teenager (Sweet B) who is not fully potty trained and a toddler (Squeaker) who is on the brink of potty training; we go through a lot of baby wipes. Add my niece, Boo-Boo, who just turned a year old- and we really go through a lot of wipes. My diaper changing skills are being put to the test daily. And if there was a gold medal being given out, I think I’d stand a good chance to win. Or at least place in the top three. Both of my girls take after me in a…
