The Little Looster Booster Review & #Giveaway Ends – 11/27/2011

We recently went through the task of potty training our little Alexander and I will be the first to admit, this was NOT an easy task. Teaching a little boy how to use the potty is very daunting. When we started on this, we taught him how to pee sitting down so he had better control of things. He was not of fan of sitting on the potty because he absolutely hated that his feet did not touch the floor and would just hang there. We have now successfully taught him how to do his business standing up, however this still requires a stool and of course he has to sit down to poo.

Last month, our issues were solved when I received an email about the Looster Booster and an offer to review one. The Looster Booster is a stool that conveniently fits right around the bottom of your toilet so the little ones have something to rest their feet on when using the potty and it does not need to be moved for an adult to use the potty either!

SCORE!

Since we have added the Looster Booster to our main bathroom, the little man has been loving life. He uses it every time he uses the potty and I have to say it has made potty time sooooo much better!! Now he doesn’t rush to get things done and have to make multiple trips and he really likes that it is just for him!

As an added bonus, the Looster Booster is super easy to clean! I just spray it down and wipe to disinfect it in case we have any little mishaps!

It’s The Ultimate Showdown! Puppies vs. Babies!!!

Leave a comment

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Puppies vs. Babies for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love puppies.

I love babies.

Puppies are cute.

Babies are cute.

But the question is…..who is cuter???

Well, the world is about to find out who is cuter thanks to the online version of Puppies vs. Babies!!

From now until November 23rd you can vote on who is cuter, the puppy or the baby in the Puppies vs. Babies online contest.

I am personally a bigger fan of babies than I am of puppies but that might have something to do with that amazing new baby smell that a puppy just does not and cannot possess.  I think puppies are absolutely adorable, I love their little yelp in place of a big bark and their little puppy breath, but really, there is just something amazing and captivating about a baby.

 

I may also be a little biased right now since I am pregnant and anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new little baby.  That darn new baby smell is intoxicating…..it’s like a drug!

So, who will you be voting for in the Puppies vs. Babies?

If I would have entered all of my kids baby photos, I’m sure we would have taken the award home.

But again, I may be a little biased!

The road to getting pregnant

Leave a comment

Now that I am pregnant with baby number 4, I have started to look at things through a whole new perspective.
Both the Alex and I have friends that were not as lucky as we were to conceive naturally.
Actually, quite a few of our friends have only been lucky enough to start a family thanks to the help of a fertility doctor.
After thinking about it, if I were in someone else’s shoes and not able to get pregnant naturally, I would do everything in my power to get there.
In 2003, I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) during a week long hospital stay and was told that I would be lucky if I ever conceived again.
I never followed up on that diagnosis but am very thankful that doctor was wrong.
When we decided to start a family together and were trying to get pregnant with Alexander, I’ll admit, I was worried in the beginning that it was taking so long. But after nearly 5 months of trying we finally had a positive result.
This time around, when we made the decision to add one more little one to the clan, I was more worried that my weight would be the factor that would keep us from conceiving.
Nope.
Within 2 months of trying, we got that positive result once again and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Baby Ellie!
