Toilet training essentials with Kandoo

toilet training toddler essentials what to have

In late June, I took the plunge (pun, intended)and toilet trained Princess Peach. I prepped Princess Peach long and hard about the “diaper fairies” coming to our house one night and taking away her diapers. They would then deliver them to babies who needed them. She never clued in that the other “baby” was her […]

Parenting 101 #giveaway

Church and Dwight Parenting 101 giveaway Canada

I’ll never forget the four page handout my pre-natal class gave us expectant parents. FOUR PAGES! It was insane. It totally freaked me out! The handout was separated into different categories but right away I felt so overwhelmed what I was being told I needed to have for my baby. I even added to the […]

Princess Peach’s Pick- The Hive #StreamTeam

The Hive Netflix #StreamTeam

It’s been a long time since I’ve featured one of Princess Peach’s Picks. This month we’ve seen a little more rain than I anyone would like. When we are stuck indoors on a rainy day I love curling up with Princess Peach and watching Netflix. This month I’ve introduced her a new-to-her animated show on […]

Finding the right car seat with Diono

Diono Radian XT

I’ll never forget the moment that I put my little babies in their bucket for the first time on our way home from the hospital. The bucket was so light and I couldn’t imagine how my new tiny baby would ever fill out the whole thing. But it happens and it happens fast! The great […]

Why I won’t force my kids to kiss anyone

World Breastfeeding Week

Not in a million years would I think that I would be writing a post on World Breastfeeding Week when my baby is over a year old. I thought our breastfeeding story would be long done. World Breastfeeding is taking place Aug 1-7, 2014. Their slogan and theme this year is Breastfeeding- A Winning Goal […]

Do you listen to everything you say?

Some days I feel like I talk ALL.DAY. LONG. My mouth starts moving the minute the kids wake up and then it doesn’t stop until Princess Peach is fast asleep in bed. We talk about what we see, what we are doing, the pee and poo in the toilet, we read books, sing songs. The […]

365 days of love

Dear Little Dude, Happy first birthday baby boy. It’s so crazy to think that 1 year ago today I had the most relaxed and amazing birthing experience and that you made your amazing arrival into the world. For 365 days you have been my “accessory” or as I often referred to you as my appendage. […]

Just pee in the toilet! A glimpse into toilet training a toddler

Toilet Training a Toddler

  “Do you have to pee?” That has been me for the past 3 days. “Are you sure you don’t have to pee?” “Really? It’s been a while” “Why don’t we try to sit for a few minutes?” Think of bribe. “I have a surprise for you if you sit for a few minutes!” “Are […]
