Potty Training Must Haves + What Is The Right Time to Potty Train?

Seeing Myself Through My Daughter’s Eyes, Taking Back My Confidence For Her Future Self
I was sitting in the living room, talking with my beautiful not-so-little girl when she said something to the effect of her belly being fat and gross.

To My Kids, You Are Loved
I came across Holly Gerth's site and loved her Coffee For Your Heart series. It's a weekly prompt and just a great way to pour your thoughts and heart out, and that's what I am going to do today. I hope to be able to join in weekly, but I knew I wanted to join in this week because the prompt was "You Are Loved" I wanted this prompt to be directed toward my kids. As a parent, there are times Read More »»
