I documented our experience with potty training my Princess quite frequently four plus years ago. It was a long transition for our family. I bought her a fun pink potty chair when she was 18 months.

What a long ordeal! I learned a lot and even wrote an entire post with "10 Potty Training … [Read more...]
Our Summer Bucket List
I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of Mom Central for Dove. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.

Homeschool Kindergarten: Telling Time
This quarter in Kindergarten homeschool, my Princess is learning how to tell time. She loves it. We've learned about the short hand and long hand as well as the hours (1-12).
