POTTY TRAINING!

So, we're about to hop on the potty training wagon. Before we started I wanted to get any advice, ideas, ANYTHING from everyone. I'm a little intimidated about the whole thing, so really, give me everything ya got! Tell me what worked best for you. I look forward to all the advice. Wish us luck :)

A Great Rental

I'm looking for a good rental out there.  We haven't rented any movies lately and so I'm wondering what I'm missing.  Any great suggestions?  

Favorites

Favorite Magazine?  I really enjoy Family Fun, and Real Simple.  There are others that are fun to read, Wondertime, Country living (I sometimes sneak a peak at mom's), the Readers Digest and I do enjoy scanning the crazy tabloids in the check out line.  Any must read magazine's out there?

Book of the Week

So I thought it might be fun to have people post about different books they've read/are reading that they really enjoy- it's always nice to have a great book recommended. So my choice for the week is The Thirteenth Tale by by Diane Setterfield. She is really an amazing writer and this book takes you on a wild ride. Just when you think you might know what's going on, you keep reading and find out you were completely wrong. It's a great read. Warning: this might not be for everyone there are some disturbing topics like incest. But overall it really is an amazing book. Happy reading!

Stroller Power!

I'm sure you've all heard all about it, but I just love this class. I have the most amazing instructor and I am amazed at my progress throughout the course of this class. My point in posting about it is that I encourage all you mom's with little babies out there to find a class in your area. The babies love being outside, and it's a way to exercise without having to find daycare while you do it. You get to meet other awsome moms and just have a great time while trying to get back into pre-baby shape. -Not that you hotties need it, but it does help you feel better, relieve stress and sleep better. There are all kinds of these classes, some of the names are stroller striders, baby boot camp, etc. Just google the name and see if there's one in your area, or just start your own group with moms you know- it doesn't have to be anything too crazy, just get out there!- You'll be amazed to see how great you feel! FYI- I've been doing this class for about 9 months now and it was soooo hard in the beginning, I'm glad I stuck with it- although I still find it tough a lot of the time it's totally worth it!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to everyone - especially Mom. You have all blessed my life in so many different ways. We are so blessed to have such an amazing Mom who has made - and continues to make- so many sacrifices for us. I hope everyone has a wonderful day and that you all know how much you are loved and appreciated for all you do.

Gas Prices

Gas here is $3.89 (and climbing) for regular unleaded. I was wondering, how much is gas where you are?

Cinco de Mayo

I found this craft one year in the Family Fun magazine and I've been making these to celebrate Cinco de Mayo ever since- OK so we don't really celebrate the day other than these cute little pinatas, but they were so cute I couldn't help myself, and pretty easy to make. I usually just fill them with a little pack of fruit snacks or something simple like that. This will be the 4th year or so running that we've had them- everyone likes a reason to celebrate! http://jas.familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts?page=CraftDisplay&craftid=11215

Favorite Books

Children's books that is. I was wondering what are some of your favorite children's books? For me and the stages of kids right now there are a few different ones: Baby- Moo, Baa, Lalala, Going to bed book, Hug. Little older- Fancy Nancy- these are hilarious and perfect for any Princess, and The Magic Tree House series is a huge favorite here- and there's tons of them. There's a few off the top of my head. We love books and are always up for great suggestions for fun ones to read! So let's hear it!
