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…

“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…

“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…

In my head, oh yes of course! But in reality? Not so much. It’s something that I would love to change and I know that in order to become more comfortable with projects and crafts; I need to do them. I wanted to start with something simple that I could draw and then put into action. Of course, I still needed a little bit of help with this project and thank goodness- Kyle is much more of a hands-on DIY person than I am. Of course now that I fully realize that, there…

In our Raising Money Savvy Kids series, we talked a little bit about how to teach kids to save money. This is a good skill to have and certainly one that I could use a little help with too. Not that I don’t save money, I do. Just that I could be doing better with it or putting it towards something practical like a retirement fund. I also want to set up a special needs trust fund for Sweet B. But how can we teach kids to save money? Money may be given as a gift for a birthday, holiday, or other special occasion. Maybe your child receives an allowance or they could be old enough to have their first job. For older kids, you…
