I don’t really know what I did right the first time around when it comes to toilet training. I kind of did a little bit of EC with her, but she also went on a bit of schedule and gave us great cues when she had to go. She was potty trained around 18 months, and I honestly think it was 75 % her, and me guessing the rest. So, the second time around, I don’t really know what I’m doing because he is SO different. He doesn’t go on a schedule, doesn’t really give any cues that he wants to go or is going. He won’t even use the training seat we used for Luna. I actually think he hates it because he never wants to sit on it or is so squirmy. So, this time I’m doing things differently, I guess. First thing I decided we should get him to try and make this potty training a little more enjoyable is an EZY-Potty.

Dreambaby’s EZY-Potty is a little potty that sits on the floor. So far, we’ve kept it in the washroom only and he’s been very excited to sit on it when he sees me, or his big sis on the toilet. There have been a couple times where he actually pees and even poops on it, yay! The EZY-Potty is super quick and easy to clean as it has a removable bowl. A tip that one of my friends gave me was to leave a little bit of water in the EZY-Potty so that it makes that cleaning processes even EASIER. So of course I had to try it and it’s brilliant, so that’s why I’m sharing it with you too.

Perfect size for a 2 year old.

The EZY-Potty is the perfect size for my little one, he’s able to sit comfortably on the seat and feet touch the floor. Having a kids sized potty is great because my little one is able to get on it all by himself. He really loves using it when he sees his big sister on the big one. Which is another great thing about having a separate little potty for him; it leaves the big one free for us to use. This is important because we only have one washroom and he has really come to enjoy sitting on his toilet.

The EZY-Potty has a built in splash guard, which is very important if you’re attempting to potty train a boy. It’ll hopefully reduce the mess when peeing. The base has a contoured backrest for added support and comfort, he sits all the way back, so this extra support is great. The bottom of the EZY-Potty has non-slip pads, making the seat a little sturdier too, so it doesn’t wobble.

Storage

I like that the EZY-Potty is small enough to store under my bathroom sink when not in use. Example, I didn’t have it out for him during the winter holidays because we were all too distracted.

We’re doing casual potty training, I guess. Some days, I ask him to sit on his toilet right after he wakes up, before meals, bath and bedtime. But, other days, I don’t even bother. All I know, is that this little dude needs to be potty trained before June. So, if you’ve got any tips or tricks for potty training, I am all ears!

All I can say is what worked for one kid, won’t necessarily work for another. Like how my first used a potty seat and the second a kids potty. So, make sure to check out the variety of Dreambaby seats and potty’s available here.

Disclosure: I received this product for my editorial consideration and decided to review it, based on my own experience.

Eyesores, I had a couple of them in my home up until recently; from an unflaterring tv area to always having our stroller in the way. Storage space is small spaces seems to be the key to keeping things looking neat and tidy. And with the new year approaching, I had to grab a hold of the reigns and get things organized as soon as possible. Because the front door to our home doesn’t have a hallway or nook, our stroller is always in the way. Folded up or ready to go, it was ALWAYS there, right in the entrance, cramping my style. SERIOUSLY, I hated not having a proper place to store it. So, number one task was to figure out how to store our stroller while not in use. And that’s when Dreambaby answered my stroller storage prayers and introduced me to their ingenious device for storing prams and strollers; StrollAway.

I’ve put the StrollAway to work since receiving it, and I am so super pleased with how it’s holding up! I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed that it didn’t require ANY drills or screws. To use, you simply slide it over standard doors, position the arms into place and hang up your folded stroller. This is probably one of my favourite things about the StrollAway because it can easily be moved to another door and is easy to store when not in use.

Save space, clear floor clutter and enjoy the convenience!

Besides keeping your stroller off the ground, the StrollAway can also be used to store bags, jackets and even bikes. Versatility for the win. Rotate the arms flat against the door when not in use. This saves space and makes the Strollaway even more inconspicuous. This amazing space saver can hold up to 50 pounds; to give you an idea our *big* stroller weighs 30 pounds, so it’s pretty heavy duty.

The StrollAway is a game changer, it saves space and clears floor clutter. I’m super happy with the StrollAway and so is my husband for the most part. His only “but” is that he has to be more careful when opening the door now. Because if he doesn’t remember the stroller is there, he will bump into it. EYE ROLL. I honestly haven’t had this issue. I remember the stroller is hanging when I open the door and don’t bump into it. And when people come over, I just say “just watch out for the stroller…” to which they reply “I need one of these for our back door!” or “how did I not know this existed?, it’s so convenient.”

Dreambaby’s StrollAway is TOTALLY worth it because it saves space, clears clutter and turns unused space into a convenient storage place. In Canada, you can purchase it at Walmart. Make sure to check out the StrollAway and many more ingenious Dreambaby products here.

10 Reasons Why We Love the Joovy Nook /joovy-nook/ /joovy-nook/#respond Fri, 25 May 2018 18:00:50 +0000 /?p=43082 Ugh, there are so many things I didn’t bother getting with our first, that when the second time rolled around,...

Ugh, there are so many things I didn’t bother getting with our first, that when the second time rolled around, I knew I wasn’t going to do that again. I honestly don’t know how we survived feeding Luna her first year and a half. Oh, that’s right, she was mostly on my boob or had to eat on our lap. Yeah, I actually think we got her chair when she was 2, off the boob and eating complete meals. Anyways, I knew I wasn’t going to do that a second time, hahaha, so we got our hands on a Joovy Nook.

I feel like I was super chill and “whatever, go with the flow” the first time and then I realized that there are certain baby products that make your life as a parent… easier? less hectic? I don’t know if either of those are the words I’m looking for, but they’re the ones that popped into my mind.

YAAAS, a high chair was one of those MUST HAVE items that I knew I had to have for my second little star. And am I ever happy that I got it for Lucas. This kid started showing interest in solids, so as soon as he was able to sit up on his own and have great head/neck control we popped him right into his Joovy Nook so he could P L A Y; I mean eat.

And he went in. Sol was (and still is) all about the BABY LED WEANING and his Nook was the perfect high chair for his messy, yet delicious eating journeys.

I love The Nook for several obvious reasons. The first, the colour; just look at that vibrant blue, my fave. Heads up, the Joovy Nook is available in 5 beautiful solid colours. Also, the deluxe, padded leatherette seat makes cleaning super easy. You can give it a quick wipe down and there aren’t many nooks and crannies where food can creep into. The seat is roomy, full-sized and GROWS with your kid; it accommodates a child up to 50 lbs.Joovy-Ncook-highchair-turquoise-easytoclean-5pointharness

The seat also comes with a a five point harness system to keep little eaters comfortable and safe. Sol is a climber/contortionist, so this feature was super important to me.

I also love that The Nook uses a swing-open tray to simplify mealtime. What does swing-open tray mean? It means that this high chair features a large tray that SWINGS OPEN with a one-hand motion. SAY WHAT? Yeah, you DON’T need both of your hands to open The Nook’s tray. SWEET, right? Because we all know how annoying and time consuming lining up rails can be while having a kid throw food or an epic tantrum. lol. I’ve had Sol on my hip many times, while opening The Nook swing-open tray with one hand; easy peasy. But, if you want to use both your hands to remove the tray, that’s coo too. Because you can fully remove the tray to clean thoroughly. And, when your ready to have your little one eat at the table, remove the tray completely and pull it right up to the table!

Oh, about that tray, it is adjustable; The Nook has four depth adjustments for the tray as your child grows. This is great because it keeps a lot of food OFF your little ones laps and on their tray…or the floor! LOL. Who doesn’t love a grow-with-me product?

The Nook also has a dishwasher safe top that sits on top the main tray. This makes feeding a little bit cleaner, since you can just pop the dishwasher safe tray off to wash and the bottom one is clean.

It folds compactly (tray attached) with a one-hand motion. I love this feature because it makes our space feel bigger. Once babe is done eating, the feeding chair gets folded up and put away in the pantry.

And get this, the Joovy Nook comes fully assembled and is ready to go. Seriously, just pull it out of the box, and unfold. There is no ASSEMBLY REQUIRED. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat. *Mind blown* right? Hahaha.

So, if you’re looking for a high chair, I highly recommend The Nook. So many great features that will grow with your child from birth up to 50 pounds. I’d also love to know what are some features that YOU look for in a feeding chair for babies.
