Perhaps it was our daughter's disposition. Or perhaps we just happened upon the right timing. But, by and large, my husband and I found potty training to be a positive and - dare I say it? - even pleasant experience with our daughter. By her 2nd birthday, she was wearing underwear and was pretty much […]
Two to five-year-olds, that is. This weekend is about toddlers and preschoolers - those little people that surprise us, delight us, confound us, and frustrate us. They can wear our patience thin in one moment and have us laughing in the next. They are eager and forgiving, sweet and funny...and they fill our hearts with […]

Whether you work 9-5 outside of the home or you have your own business or you're in the business of chasing your 2-year-old around the house, this weekend is for you. Stay tuned for reviews, giveaways, and articles related to "work." […]
