Potty Training

I don't wanna...It's time consuming, messy and time consuming...oh and messy.

Have I mentioned I don't want to? Oh, I have? Ok.

Kaia is starting to get more and more interested in potty training. This morning for example she insisted on wearing underwear from 8 until 11. She sat on the potty a half a dozen times but only succeeded in peeing and pooping (once each) in her pants. Ugh. YUCK. At 11 it had been about an hour since I last got her to agree to try sitting on the potty (have I mentioned she is stubborn?) and she insisted in putting a diaper on after finally trying and not succeeding. So I put one on her. I'm not really sure if it is worth pushing or not. She really only does things on her own terms and I'm worried if I push, she will dig in her heels. I guess she's only two... I still have time... some...

Any tips and tricks you want to share with me?

My Spare Time (hahahaha)

I've been wanting to start sharing something here. It's what I do in my spare time. I know, that sounds like some kind of mommy joke. What spare time? I tell you, it's spare time I've started really forcing myself to take. Just a little bit of time when I'm not working or in the evening after the kids are in bed. It's made a world of difference to me and my mental state. So...what do I do? I create. I digital scrapbook, or digi-scrap for short. It is such a good release for me. Want to see? Here are some of my latest creations (linked to the kits I used to create them):

This hobby of mine has led me to a wonderful opportunity to design pages for the amazing kit creators at 9th and Bloom! This month for Halloween there is some exciting stuff happening that I think you should check out, especially if you like to digiscrap or you are looking to get into it!

Stuff

I am being overwhelmed by stuff. Kid stuff to be more precise. Toys, clothes, drawings, crafts, books, Legos, schoolwork....stuff.

This is my fall project. Get rid of and organize the stuff. One room at a time. I've started with Stinkerbells room. She is 2. There is no reason to still have 6 month clothes in her closet is there?

Got any links for great organizing ideas?
