Happy Halloween friends!
I saw this Elsa Drinking Game on Facebook and had to laugh out loud because my 5-year-old, along with millions of other little girls will be donning an ice princess dress tonight. There was no talking her out of it.
Yep, Elsa is coming to your door.
Again, and again, and again…
DRINK UP!
Have a fun and safe holiday!
Tattling is second nature to my 4-and-a-half-year-old right now. He tattles on his sister, on the parent he’s not with, the dog…you name it, my little man tattles. Although I know this is totally normal for kiddos to do, I realized it may be time to write a blog about teaching kids the difference between tattling vs reporting – and implement it at our home home, stat.
Now, to be fair, my son doesn’t think he’s tattling. He’s just “sharing.” And amidst some of his tattles, he really is “sharing” important information.
So I started thinking about how to best extract the necessary information from him, when it comes to safety issues or important tidbits, in his rambling of tattles and chatter.
I asked my brave sister to share her unfortunate experience with potty accidents in older children to help any moms who might be experiencing the same challenges. Thank you, Suzanne, for sharing.
Here is her story:
So, we all know potty training can be one of the WORST parts of parenting. Like, ever. The messes, the anxiety of accidents in the car or in public, the “I don’t have to go!” we hear from our kids thousands of times when you KNOW they have to go. Even less fun is when your formerly potty-trained child regresses, but potty training regression in older kids can make life a living nightmare.
I know because it happened to us…
Disclosure: I am a Serta brand ambassador and am compensated for my participation in the program and have received complimentary mattresses for review. I LOVE my Serta mattress. Love!
Today’s post is about when to replace a mattress, and how that process can sometimes be delayed due to, what I call “mattress attachment.” Could you be dealing with mattress attachment?
First, let me share our story.
Back in 2011, when Serta Mattresses launched their first generation of memory foam mattresses, the iComfort Sleep System, I was fortunate enough to be chosen to be a brand ambassador and received an iComfort Prodigy mattress to report our experience.
It was a serendipitous opportunity as our previous mattress was close to 12 years old, and I had no idea just how poorly we had been sleeping until we got our new iComfort mattress.
The difference my husband and I experienced sleeping on our iComfort mattress for the first time (an upgrade from a very old mattress) was extraordinary. I became VERY attached to my bed…

I don’t know about you, but my 4-year-old son is obsessed with trains. Obsessed. Especially with the beloved Thomas the Train and his best bud, Percy.
So when I learned that this year’s “A Day Out With Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends” annual event in Perris, CA is showcasing a talking Thomas, AND including Percy in the fun, we were elated!
If any of you have little Thomas fans in your family, mark your calendars for next month and plan to make your own”Day Out with Thomas,” and enter to win four FREE tickets in our giveaway below!
