Have Sippy Will Travel, Shares Useful Tips for Potty Training!
Potty training is one of those things in life that all parents and children have to get through, and while this time in life can lead to some comical experiences, it can also be the cause of anxiety for all parties involved.
Samantha, the mom blogger behind Have Sippy Will Travel, has helped to potty train dozens of children as a mother, nanny and teacher. Along the way, she has learned a few things that will help parents and children get through this somewhat traumatic time with less stress on everyone. Here are a few tips that can help make potty training easier and less stressful for parents and children.
Samantha, the mom blogger behind Have Sippy Will Travel, has helped to potty train dozens of children as a mother, nanny and teacher. Along the way, she has learned a few things that will help parents and children get through this somewhat traumatic time with less stress on everyone. Here are a few tips that can help make potty training easier and less stressful for parents and children.
- Location, Location, Location - Make sure to put the training potty where the child will feel warm and secure. Try to create a location that help reduce the number of “halfway there” accidents, too!
- Consistency is Key - If the children are being potty trained at home, then they should also be going through training at school and with the babysitter. Sticking to the same routine in different locations with different people will help them get into the routine much quicker.
- It’s All About the Rewards - A little treat, such as an M&M, a fruit snack or a sticker chart are all great rewards that will go a long way for a toddler.
- Make a Game of It – Potty training doesn’t have to be an arduous time. Put drops of blue food dye into the potty bowl and let them have fun with seeing it change color to "green". For boys, throw a couple of Cheerios in the bowl for them to aim at.
- Stay Positive – The last thing you want is for them to feel bad. Any pressure or ill feelings may cause resistance.
- Keep it Regular – A great way to increase regularity and reduce constipation is to give them a probiotic supplement1 <#_edn1> . It doesn’t give the potty trainee the chance to “hold” it in, but yet is sensitive on his/her little tummy. Vidazorb® Belly Boost is a chewable tablet that tastes delicious and doesn’t require refrigeration. Children love it!
- Lots of Fluids – Water and juice – not soda and other sugary drinks – will help them stay regular want to potty. Prune juice would be especially helpful.
Seek out help from other parents or check out online communities, such as mom blogs, where topics like this are regular conversation. It is easier for parents to deal with potty training woes if they can share a trying experience or funny episode with others in the same boat.

Resolve to eat more Whole Grain in 2011
Did you know that 95 percent of Americans don't get enough whole grain in their diet? According to the 2010 Report of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, only five percent of Americans get the three full recommended daily servings - a shocking statistic.
It's never been easier to get the whole grain you want without sacrificing taste! Every Big G cereal contains at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving, with more than 20 General Mills cereals delivering 16 grams or more. (At least 48 grams of whole grain are recommended daily.) Big G cereals are America's number one source of whole grain at breakfast, providing America with more whole grain at breakfast than any other breakfast food from any other manufacturer.
Only whole grain gives you the vital nutrients from the complete grain. The health benefits of whole grains can't be pinpointed to one particular component of the grain. It's the "whole grain package" that makes the difference. In addition to fiber, whole grain contains antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and other vital nutrients that help ensure a healthy diet. A diet high in whole grain has been found to help with diabetes and weight management, and it may help reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers.
Check out this video from Dr. Travis Stork, emergency-room physician and host of the "The Doctors" on CBS, for more about the health benefits of whole grain.
Click here or the image above to watch the video!
Get into the whole grain habit by just looking for the big white check on Big G cereals! Cereal is already one of the healthiest breakfast choices you can make, and the entire Big G cereal line is made with whole grain, making it a great choice. Big G cereals have the brands and flavor your family will love, including Cheerios®, Lucky Charms®, Cinnamon Toast Crunch®, Honey Nut Cheerios®, Fiber One® and Total®.
To be sure the other foods you are choosing have the healthy whole grain you need, just follow these two easy rules:

Valentine's Giveaway with 1800-Flowers! (24 hours contest!!)
Product Description:
Celebrating Love follows Celebrating Mom in a new gift series from 1-800-flowers.com and celebrations.com founder Jim McCann.
Reinforcing the 1-800-flowers.com and celebrations.com philosophy of helping customers express, connect, and celebrate, McCann balances the practical with the inspirational, and the poignant with the profound, inside this collection of authentic love stories. Full-color drawings illustrate the book throughout and are interspersed with meaningful quotes and little-known facts about love and affection. Divided into four sections based on the distinct seasons of love, Celebrating Love features 150 entries, including:
* Spring: "Love that is not madness is not love." --Pedro Calderon de la Barca
* Summer: Meeting you was fate. Becoming your friend was a choice. Falling in love with you was beyond my control. Becoming your wife was my fairy tale come true.
* Fall: The Geography of Love
* The oldest love song in existence, whose origin is from somewhere between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, was written 4,000 years ago.
* Nevada issues 120,000 marriage licenses a year.
* Winter: I love you, my forgetful wife. Who knew that love not only lasts longer than memory, but that it continues to grow?
About the Author
Jim McCann is a highly successful entrepreneur whose vision and energy have helped grow 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, the company he founded in 1976, into the world's leading florist and gift company. He is also the founder of Celebrations.com and appears frequently on many national TV networks, including CNBC, CNN, Fox News Channel, and Bloomberg TV.
I love this book! First off, it is beautiful! Pink is my favorite color, but beyond that I love the illustrations inside and is full of wonderful stories, inspirational quotes and lots of love! This book is a great gift for Valentine's, but I believe in celebrating love all year round! Valentine's day is so commercial, we come to expect lavish gifts and frivolous things. I appreciate the gifts that I get on a regular day FAR more than on Valentine's day! This book helps to remind me that love is important 365 days of the year!
In addition, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM is hosting a special Valentines Day "Love Note" Contest! This contest encourages 1-800-FLOWERS.COM fans to post their own love notes, and cast their vote for the most touching love note on the 1-800-FLOWERS.COM Facebook page. The love note voted the most touching will win a bouquet, courtesy of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM! Click here to enter! (Today is the last day to enter!! Tomorrow is the last drawing!!!)

Boiron Homeopathic Value Pack Review & Giveaway
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathic medicines are therapeutically active micro-doses of mineral, botanical and biological substances. They are reliable and safe drugs, therefore considered by many as an excellent first choice when self-medicating. Homeopathy has been used for more than 200 years, building a remarkable safety record and generating a great body of knowledge. Today, homeopathy is used by millions of patients in more than 65 countries and recommended by more than 400,000 healthcare providers.
Recently I got to try the Boiron Homeopathic Value Pack. I decided to try it the first day I felt a sore throat and slight runny nose when I woke up. My husband woke up that day with the same symptoms. I followed the directions of the Coldcalm-take 2 tablets every 15 minutes for 2 hours, then continue every 2 hours to take 2 tablets. The next day I was better! No cold, no sore throat-no kidding! My husband suffered with the cold about a week, getting far worse than that first day! I was so happy to be healthy!!
When my 2 year old was recently sick with a temp of 103, my husband I got very worried. She wouldn't take liquid medicines and was becoming dehydrated because she wasn't drinking much either. After spending several hours in the pediatricians office, we were sent home. We still couldn't get medicine in her but were hoping to get her better without a trip to the hospital. When she woke up from a nap I got her to take one of the doses of oscillococcinum. Within 15-20 minutes her fever was down, she was eating and drinking, running around...it was a complete turn around!
You can try this great product out for yourself! Here is how you can win the value pack Sponsored by Tomoson.com!!

As your children read along, they will discover their own inner strength and fearlessness, learn about making new friends, and learn the importance of helping others. Kathryn the Grape takes the reader on a journey of discovery and spreads the message that everyone is magical!"
This fun book was an instant hit with my girls! They wanted to read it as soon as it came and again at bedtime! They really like magic so this was a great story for them! The book has bright colors and is easy to read aloud! The book has 40 pages but each page only has a few sentences! That gives you plenty of quality reading time without being TOO lengthy! I love how it also gives little lessons, like considering right and wrong and acting accordingly!
Something really cool about this story is that $1 of from every book sold on KathryntheGrape.com is directed to the Kathryn the Grape Foundation. They partner with non-profit agencies focused on supporting education, empowerment and sustainability. The Kathryn the Grape Foundation exists to share the magic by giving back and partnering with local, national and global organizations aimed at supporting education, empowerment and sustainability.

Win the “Be a Cleaning Pro” Sweepstakes from O-Cedar!
Beginning February 15 – April 30 O-Cedar is running the “Be a Cleaning Pro” Sweepstakes for a chance to win a personal house visit by Peter Walsh and $1000 cash as a part of the grand prize. There will also be three monthly winners (February, March and April) who will receive an O-Cedar prize package including the ProMist, an autographed copy of Walsh’s Lighten Up and an eight-hour home visit by the ProMist Clean Team. For more details, please visit www.ocedar.com.
Peter Walsh says the new O-Cedar® ProMist® cleaning system changes the game on clean!! The ProMist uses two types of reusable microfiber pads: a durable pad that can be washed up to 100 times and a disposable pad that can be washed or tossed. Unlike most other mops out there, the ProMist comes with a refillable bottle allowing you to decide what you want to clean with. With kids and pets around, we recommend a little vinegar and water instead of those harsh, smelly chemical cleaners.

Family Dining Done Right!
It seems today we spend too much time in front of the t.v., on our phones or online. We are losing our connection with our families! The best time and place to reconnect is at the dinner table! But it can be a challenge to get everyone there at the same time to enjoy a family meal without all the distractions of our daily lives! Here are some ways to get your family back on track and in tune for family meal time!
1) Schedule dinner times several nights a week that are required family times. Figure out a schedule that works for all members and plan on these nights being nights where you all eat at home. (One of these days should be a weekend night) Plan what nights are the ones where no one is going to have activities and stick to the schedule. Make it a family rule that no one can make other plans these evenings during the dinner hour.
2) Require the electronics and t.v. to be OFF. It won't kill anyone to turn off the t.v. or to let the phone ring during a meal. No Facebook, no Twitter, no background noise. If you are checking your phone or watching a show you aren't connecting with your family. The best time to talk is when you have everyone together. Make sure you are following the rules too! Your kids follow your example. Of course, if you have a situation where you must have your phone or pager for emergency/work purposes that is the exception. If it is something or someone that can wait, then call back later.
3) Let everyone get a chance to talk. Go around the table and let everyone share highlights of the day. Take turns asking questions. This way you get to know more about each other, your daily lives and what is really going on. If you are open with your kids, they are more likely to reach out to you when they need advice, have a problem, or just want to talk. Create an environment of security and you will be glad you did later on!
4) Let your family help choose the meals. And have them help prepare them too! During dinner, choose what you want the next meal or the following week. When it's time to make dinner, give everyone a job. Little kids can set the table, older kids can make drinks or a salad. Everyone can have a job and they will feel more included if they are giving a special duty.
5) Always follow etiquette rules and set an example for your kids. Say please and thank you. Ask for dishes to be passed, and keep your elbows off the table. More and more we seem to be forgetting the proper way to eat. Take your time and enjoy the meal. This is a time to bond! No need to rush!!!
Follow these simple tips, and you and your family will become more connected and enjoy meal time!! Having a set meal routine will help your family communicate better and will keep you happy too!!
