Potty Training? Diapers Are Not Forever #Giveaway

Elizabeth Verdick has so many great books in The Toddler Tools Series.
She also has another series, The Best Behavior Series.
I was able to review one and I think we need to get more of this series soon!

We went with Diapers Are Not Forever.
Broxton was doing pretty good at potty training.
We were going tee-tee in there, but the other was a problem.

Then, it seemed as though he just wanted NOTHING to do with it at all.
I would ask, we would go..
Nothing.

We told him that big boys went in the big boy potty...
We praised and rewarded.
Sticker chart... Pretty good.
But then, nothing...

We started reading the Diapers Are Not Forever Book...
Yes, he has been in pull ups for a bit...
So, the diapers are gone...
BUT, I want him to be potty trained!

Boom!
He now goes potty in there, but the tee-tee is an issue for us!
What?
I even had the big brothers read the book.
Want to know the neat thing about this book?
Yes, it tells the reader that Big Kids go potty.
Big Kids get bigger.
Bigger clothes and yes...
UNDERWEAR!

It tells about going on the potty...
You also have to wipe and flush.
Wait!
Don't forget to wash your hands!
Scrub! Scrub! Scrub!

As with all of Elizabeth's books...
She has wonderful illustration and a simple story with a good message.
I love the simplicity!
BUT, as a parent...
I also enjoy that she adds the Parents?Caregivers Tips at the end of the books..
Just as she does with the Toddler Tools!

One lucky reader is going to win a copy of:
Diapers Are Not Forever!

    Ryan loves when we read his potty training book and he just likes to say the words "potty train", but he is scared to death when we try to put him on the potty! lol

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

Hurry Up! Review & Giveaway

The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
