***Thank you to Clorox for sponsoring this post so I could share this fun, real potty training survival guide to keeping the mess in check as you tackle the dirty business!*** You know what gets a bad rap? Diapers. Parents jones so hard to shed them, but on the other side of those nappies lies an unseemly fate–potty […]
The Surprise Element
At my very ripe old age of 36, I feel like there’s not much about my day-to-day that could surprise me. The laundry/dish-washing/yearning for ginormous quantities of coffee to power me through my day is a routine set pretty solidly in stone. Even the more exciting events, like driving the minivan into the garage door and […]
Pull-Ups Big Kid Academy? Count Us In!
Potty training. Ugh. Potty training. You see, in regards to potty-training, I adopt a very hands-off approach. Otherwise known as Mommy-buries-her-head-in-the-sand-and-pretends-this-is-not-happening. The problem is, I just don’t get it. I don’t get why risking a poop-in-pants is better than suiting up with a Pull-Up. Even when my daughter has humiliated me by pooping in said […]
With H-E-B, the Cowgirl Rides Again
I’ll admit it. Before having my own daughter, I judged on other parents who let their kids run around in tutus and dresses. This wouldn’t be my daughter. No, not ever. Then I had a daughter. And she discovered dress-up. And now holy hell breaks out lest the gal isn’t sporting a fancy frilly garment […]
Let the Little Cuties Run Wild
We have a problem here, folks. My 2 yr. old daughter is not yet potty-trained (I know, I’ll wait while you gasp in the horror over this grave parental short-coming). She also never stops moving. Ever. Even in her sleep, the adorable young thing thrashes about with a vigor known to wildcats the world over […]
Getting Our Diaper On at Family Dollar
I’ll admit it: I’m a diaper snob. For the past 3 1/2 years, I’ve cautiously eschewed generics. In fairness, I’ve given a couple different non-brand name diapers a try, but the leakage/ginormous puffiness factor with the particular ones I tried lead me straight back to Huggies and Pampers. Recently I found myself tickled with Honest […]
And He Peed on the Cat…
In case you’re like me and all the holiday festivities leave you feeling a bit harried and scattered, I thought I would just share a fun, quick story. Enough to give you a laugh, but not enough to totally derail you from tending to all the activities of this week and sneaking in what you […]
How I Spend My 30s
Stopping by from the Mommy Brain Mixer? Welcome! I’m glad you are here. I love Cassie’s sweet blog, Two in Diapers and have been looking forward to co-hosting her weekly link-up. She never fails to bring a smile to my face, whether with a cute story about one of her kids or one of those […]
Guest Blogger: Leslie from Neverland Nook:
You know I love my Neverland Nook ladies! I only talk about Sabrina and Leslie, All The Time 🙂 So when the very witty Leslie recently had trip to Target that could easily go down in history as one of the Most Amazing Errands Runs with Young Kids of All Time, and offered to share […]
Things No One Ever Told Me About Potty-Training
The stuff of Mommy’s fantasies… 1. The resulting laundry-lode would make the piles of bibs and burp cloths from the newborn days look paltry. 2. I would spend significant time fantasizing about having all the carpets in my house replaced vs. trying to actually clean them. 3. I would be so driven to desperation trying […]
