Potty Training Journey
August 2, 2009 by
Yes, it’s that time. We have embarked upon our journey through Potty Training Land. My little sweetie is turning 2 in September and we’ve introduced him to Mr. Potty. He seems to be receptive to the idea, and loves hearing the music in his potty when he pee pees. We’ve started him in the Pampers Easy Ups, but we’re also going to try Huggies Pull Ups to see which works best with him.
I decided to purchase this adorable Fisher Price Cheer For Me Potty. I love the shape, it looks so much like the real thing and I thought we would have an easier transition when it was time to move him to the toilet. I also love the smiley face on it. I haven’t placed any toilet paper on the holder yet, I’m afraid he will cover my bathroom floor with it.
The potty is battery operated and plays music and gives words of encouragement when he poopies and pee pees. I love the fact that he must actually pee pee or poopie before the music will start playing, it’s suppose to be an incentive for using the potty. The handle on the potty makes a clicking sound when it’s pushed. He gets so tickled. I reward him with Parental Praise too. Gran claps, dances and sings the Big Boy Potty song. Here it goes: Pee Pee on the potty, Pee Pee on the potty or Poopie on the potty, Poopie on the potty. I believe Kirstie Alley sang this song in Look Who’s Talking when she was potty training her son.
Xavier loves stickers, so I’m going to make a poster and start rewarding him with Big Boy Stickers. I’ll implement this award system next week. I looked at some of the charts on the market and thought I could create one as good if not better than those available.
Stayed tuned for more adventures on our Potty Training Journey. If you have a Potty Training story or tips that you would like to share, I would love to hear them.
It’s Quotable Sunday
August 2, 2009 by
Today is Quotable Sunday thanks to Toni at A Daily Dose of Toni. Each Sunday, we share a few of our favorite quotes. After watching a movie last night starring Samuel Jackson, Lakeview Terrance, I decided to post quotes on neighbors. What a movie, it surely made me appreciate my neighbors. I hope that you enjoy my quotes this week.“The capacity for getting along with our neighbor depends to a large extent on the capacity for getting along with ourselves. The self-respecting individual will try to be as tolerant of his neighbor’s shortcomings as he is of his own.” – Eric Hoffer“Nothing makes you more tolerant of a neighbor’s noisy party than being there.” – Franklin P. Jones“The impersonal hand of government can never replace the helping hand of a neighbor.” – Hurbert Humphery“A neighbor is a person who can get to your house in less than a minute and takes two hours to go back home.” – O. A. Battista “The doctor says to the patient, “Take your clothes off and stick your tongue out the window”. “What will that do” asks the patient. The doctor says “I’m mad at my neighbor!” – Henny Youngman“It is folly to punish your neighbor by fire when you live next door.” – Pubilius Syrus“Love your neighbor as yourself; but don’t take down the fence.” – Carl Sanburg“You can be a good neighbor only if you have good neighbors.” – Howard Koch
I hope you enjoyed my quotes this week. If you would like to join us, please visit A Daily Dose of Toni and add your link. We’ll visit and check your favorite quotes.

Cinnamon Buns As An Arousal?
August 1, 2009 by
Do you think you can arouse your man with the smell of cinnamon buns? I don’t mean getting him to the table for breakfast, we all know that we can accomplish that. According to Woman’s World magazine, research has shown that the smell of cinnamon buns arouse men.
When I read the article, I laughed. I thought that I had a better chance using real cinnamon buns. I pictured myself covered with the sticky, gooey buns, and concluded that a few cinnamon buns just might work and I wouldn’t have to get too creative. The article also mentioned licorice and chocolate.
I was ready to test the theory until I pictured the sticky buns ruining my sheets and down comforter. I quickly remembered Bath and Body used to sell a Cinnamon Bun body wash and lotion, and I thought just maybe I could get the same reaction with just the aroma of cinnamon buns. Unfortunately, the Cinnamon Bun body wash and lotion is no longer available because it was a holiday edition. I did Google Cinnamon Bun body wash/lotion and it is available several places on e-bay. I bid a few times, but I have yet to be declared a winner.
I did find a whipped chocolate body butter on Etsy. My pedicurist turned me on when she used it during one of my pedicures. I absolutely love it and so does my significant other.
If you’re looking to spice up your relationship try a chocolate, cinnamon bun or licorice body lotion or body wash.
