My Review of Potty Watchâ„¢

Originally submitted at One Step Ahead

Half the challenge of potty training: reminding kids when it's time to go! Potty Watch does it for you, alerting kids with music and lights that truly gets their attention. Set at regular 30, 60, or 90-minute intervals. Bonus: in "play" mode kids can sing along with the music while th...

Pros: Playful Design

Cons: Not waterproof

Best Uses: Toilet Training

Describe Yourself: Parent of Two or More Children

I have seven kids and wish I had found this for the three kids I have already potty trained. I am working on my 3 year old now and am really looking forward to using it again when my 2 year old and 16 month old twins are ready to potty train. My 3 year old LOVES it and her excitement is incredibly contagious!

Once Upon a Time



Once upon a time there were three beautiful girls named Ashley, Haley and Kyra. They loved getting together as often as possible so they could giggle and share their treasures and do things little girls do when they're together. These three girls were the luckiest little girls around because not only did they get to be the best of friends, but they got to be COUSINS. This, of course, means that they can continue to giggle and share treasures and do things little girls do for a long, long time... The end.

Cleaner Hands and Better Views




I can't think of a much cuter sight than two beautiful baby girls learning to walk with their arms spread wide, their faces deep in concentration and their curls bouncing all over the place.

West Yellowstone

We recently returned from a very spontaneous & quick trip to Montana. Rich's family has a log cabin there and there was some work that needed to be done on it.

I have been very hesitant to travel with so many little ones, and especially little ones that are not yet walking. Going to a park is hard enough when they're crawling & eating mouthfuls of icky non-edibles (some might be edible, but ICK!). And TWO of them crawling in seperate directions keeps this mommy VERY busy.

So taking crawling twins to a mouse infested log cabin with not so clean floors was not very exciting to me.

Well, I decided we would give it a go anyway and packed everyone up. I am so glad we went after all because I found a large playpen and the twins loved playing in it and I was able to get some good cabin work done.


And I was worried about MOUSE infestation???

Sadie Baby

Her name is Sadie but sadly, I usually end up calling her Ma-Sadie. I can't keep up with all these names. I have gotten better, however, at disguising this all too common parental error. I start out by saying "Mah" and then I quickly add "I" so I say instead, "My Sadie". Isn't that great and aren't I so clever? And my reward for being so clever? Madi and Sadie fight over me all the time. "My mommy!" "No, my mommy!" Every day someone is fighting over little ol' me and it makes me feel special.

So here is My Sadie in all her glory. She is beautiful. And she is mine.
