Next week I am going away on “vacation” and I use that word quite loosely as I hardly think that staying with your in-laws and sleeping in twin beds with the bedroom door open counts as a vacation. This year I am getting a special treat as Nomad Papa and the girls have left three […]

POTTY TRAIN IN ONE DAY
Are you at wit’s end trying to potty train your child? Have you bought multiple potties and toilet seat adapters, given out stickers and m&ms and spent hours convincing your child to just do ANYTHING while sitting comfortably on the potty – all to no avail?
