Teach Your Child To Embrace Diversity With A Personalized Book From Loving Lion Books

When I was a child, I had a huge collection of fairy tale books which are all about the dreamy stories of these beautiful princesses – Cinderella, Belle, Jasmine, and so on. I loved reading them all the time and believed everything I read in these books. Sometimes, my cousins and I would even re-enact these stories during our playtime. Needless to say, these books had a huge impact on me. I grew up thinking that life is pretty much similar to these fairy tales; but of course it wasn’t long enough until I found out that it’s not. It…

Potty Training In 3 Days: The Secrets To Be Successful

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.

How To Survive Sightseeing In New York With Toddlers

Back in November, we drove to New York for a few days to show my parents around. I would consider it as one of the most stressful trips I’ve taken so far with my kids, mostly because I was trying make sure that my parents get to see as much tourist attractions as possible while also trying to accommodate my kids’ schedule. I was always rushing to enjoy where we were because I knew we had to leave soon so the kids could take their nap on time. So today, I’ll be sharing with you what to do (and not…

Make Bath Time More Fun With SoapSox

Most kids I know hate taking a bath; but my kids don’t. Sure, they used to hate bath time when they were babies but they grew to love it. Maybe it’s because they got used to taking a bath since it’s part of our routine. And even when they’re crying the entire time, we still do it; which maybe is why it has paid off. I honestly don’t know why but I’m just thankful they love it. My son actually looks forward to bath time ALL THE TIME. As soon as I say “It’s bath time”, he immediately starts taking his clothes off…

GUEST POST: Essential Guide to Creating A Good Relationship Between Siblings

Happy Thursday! How has your week been? Mine has been good. We’re slowly adjusting from my parents leaving last week; however, the weekend has been tough because on top of taking care of the kids, that’s when we need to grocery shop and do the laundry. I woke up last Monday with a sore body, the kind you get from working out. Lol! Also, I am not excited about this weekend’s time change. I always have a hard time adjusting to Daylight Saving Time; so if you don’t hear from me for a week, you know why! Today’s guest author is…
