Mama’s Little Helper for potty training: KIDS ‘N’ PETS
Big thanks to KIDS ‘N’ PETS for sponsoring today’s post and teaching us a thing or two about removing pee smells and stains from mattresses and carpet. Before parenthood, the idea of pee anywhere was totally disgusting. It evoked public bathrooms behind gas stations. You know, the kind that smell strongly enough to make you gag. About […]
Meet the Philips AVENT Anti-colic bottles

I’m at Studio Grow or Music Class with the big one and […]
