What Anaphylactic Shock REALLY Looks Like

We found out that my son has a severe peanut allergy on his first birthday. We were given an EpiPen prescription because there's a risk that he'll have anaphylactic shock if he ingests peanut. We immediately banned peanut inside our house as soon as we found out. It took us a while to get used to it ... READ the POST

The Worst Part About My Toddler’s Public Temper Tantrum

I have to say that I've been VERY fortunate to not have to deal with a public temper tantrum for the entire 3 years since becoming a mom, until recently.

Potty Training In 3 Days: The Secrets To Be Successful

Potty training, by itself, sure can be challenging and overwhelming especially if it's your first time. Add 3-day to that equation and that can get REALLY STRESSFUL! I know what you might be thinking... Potty training in 3 days, does it work? I totally get that! When I started hearing about those ... READ the POST

My daughter first started showing interest in the potty when she was 18 months. Being the excited mom that I am, I rushed to my nearest Target the first chance I got and purchased this potty. One day, she said she wanted to go to the potty so we just sat her there and she peed on her own. That was pretty exciting for us but we didn’t do anything after that because her school won’t be able to do potty training until she’s in the 2’s room. Since my husband and I work full time during weekdays and she’s mostly in school, we didn’t want her getting confused; so we decided to wait until she has moved up to the 2’s room, where they’ll be taught how to use the potty, before we start potty training at home.
