When I had my first-born my mother told me to place him on the potty every half an hour to ensure an easy transition from the diaper. Once he conquered the half an hour mark, I increased the increments so that he could hold his bladder longer. This method worked! Within a few short days he was trained. The hard part was getting through those few LONG days with my eyes glued to the clock and the worry of finding a potty! 

Well, thanks to Potty Time the second time around was a BREEZE! Potty Time supports any potty training method by helping children: Listen to their bodies Stop what they are doing and go to the bathroom Celebrate their successes Deal with accidents in a positive way Appreciate their amazing bodies. We are a signing family and this fit us just perfectly! The DVD is fun, educational and interactive. My son loved the music and was so thrilled to start his journey to the thrown! Best of all, the package came with a colorful watch that uses music and blinking lights to remind your child that it’s time to go! I started him off at 30 min intervals then increased to 60, and eventually 90-minute intervals. 

My son loved when the watch sounded, we all danced and made our way to the potty with ease! It took 3 short days to potty train him without having the stress of watching the clock or having to place a screaming child on the potty--instead he wanted to go because he felt 'special' and it was fun! *note* I also used the potty watch on the night-table and set it to 90 minute intervals. This was a perfect stretch for our night-time routine. 1 accident later....and the rest is history!! YAY Potty time! AMAZING PRODUCT FOR ANY FAMILY OF CHILDREN! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! GENIUS IDEA!  

The Anxiety-Free Child Program was a program I particularly wanted to test. Being a mother to a very anxious and stressed child, I have always searched for ways to  'connect' with him. This was a perfect opportunity to do so. 

Since starting this program (im not finished) I have already seen my son become a more confident and secure little individual. As well, his sleep has improved and he has become less hyperactive because of the Anxiety-Free Child Program. 

The program offers great tips on what to look for in your child at the present and how to improve on what already exists within their state. I found it very customizable to my individual needs as a parent looking to improve their child's life and lifestyle. I also really loved the fact that the program emphasizes that this is NOT the parents fault- as many people seem to believe. 

The company offers a 60-day money back guarantee---this is because it really works.

Tegu blocks are the new-wave in cognitive play for children! This product allows for children to experiment, learn and dream. A genius remake of the simple block set. Durable, fun and functional! Tegu blocks are non-toxic and made from sustainable wood. They have magnets embedded in them for hours of creative play for children (and adults) of all ages! 

My children sat for hours playing with these blocks, they even figured out that they stick to the fridge! Tip: use a baking sheet to allow for continuous creative play! The blocks are definitely heirloom quality and will withstand many generations to come. A great investment at a slightly high price-point ($125 for 52 piece set). The way I look at it is that I rather spend a little more on Eco-friendly toys that are simply creative and fun, then a bunch of plastic toys that last a few days before boredom sets in. 

The set includes cube shapes, large planks, small planks and jumbo planks. The set also comes in a very durable package that can be used for later storage. The company, based in Honduras' main focus is to help the crumbling economy. Through the sales of Tegu blocks, trees are getting planted and child education in Honduras as well as Holistic employment for its people. Great company, excellent product and hours of imaginative fun!
