Which is worse: A Mommy Meltdown or a Toddler Tantrum?

September 10, 2015 by heatherss 13 Comments

tips for mommy meltdowns

Yesterday I completely lost it with my child. Yes, it was over potty training. After being so good the previous day and using the big toilet, he pooped in his pants. I was just angry. How can he be so good and we are back to square one the very next day? I was so frustrated and angry as I did all … [Read more...]

Bouncing and Playing in our #NewPampersPants AND WIN one of Five for Yourself!

giveaway of pampers pants

When Nicky was a little baby I tried different nappy brands and eventually settled on Pampers. We've been using them ever since. Now that he is older, our needs have changed. I'm working very hard to get him potty trained and he is out of nappies during the day. When night time comes however, we … [Read more...]

my toddler threw his scooter in the pool

Our grocery shopping trip on a Friday is normally a great time for Nicky and I to enjoy the outing together. We have our traditions: such as eating a banana throughout Pick n Pay.

So, we've established that Nicky likes to have a comfort item near to him - a toy, a car, a biccy, and most recently I posted about his "Zee-bra". Well, the zebra has been lost for a while, but Nicky found another toy he likes - a wooden bunny given to him as a newborn by my mother-in-law. It has a … [Read more...]

First Week of Potty Training and the Dog is Making More of a Mess Than the Child

April 11, 2015 by heatherss 14 Comments

Potty training is a daunting task for any parent. In preparation for this week I bought two rolls of paper towels. Little did I know that I would be using them more for cleaning up the dog's messes than my own child. I guess we all have plans of how things should go, and life clearly has other … [Read more...]

Gradual Potty Training

October 25, 2014 by heatherss 4 Comments

we are taking potty training one step at a time

I once made a comment to a friend that I would only consider potty training after I got Nicky off the boob and in his own room. One thing at a time and all. My big boy is in his own room but it looks like I will have him potty trained long before I have him off the boob. Life has a habit of … [Read more...]
