It’s… Well, it’s a work in progress, a sometimes messy work in progress that is moving forward, albeit very slowly. In my eight months of potty training, I’ve learned a lot of …
My sister first told me about “buy nothing” when she was blessed with an outdoor water table for her toddler for free … from a stranger in her community. I was shocked! Mostly because I had just spent $50 on one for my own kids. I needed to get on this buy nothing train! And …
