Raising Children to Weather the Storm
One of my goals for 2016 was to write an ebook. I had no idea what I’d write about. Heck, I didn’t even know how to become a self published author. The only thing I knew about writing a book was that there’s a lot of red tape to go through and a lot of money needed…
I wasn’t sure what to expect with day 5 of potty training boot camp. Luckily, my hubby and I were both home, which meant tag teaming trips to the bathroom. We stayed on schedule throughout the day. By the afternoon, Princess was telling us when she had to go. She didn’t have an accident…

Well technically, it’s back to daycare. I consider it school because there’s is a curriculum which involves teaching the kids subjects like math, reading, and art. Even though Princess has been an orange since the summer, I still consider this a step up to the next level. The teachers also help with potty training which will (hopefully)…
