Finding “me time” can feel almost impossible as a mom, especially if you’re a new parent. Between work, carpool, dinner, cleanup, and soccer practice, there's hardly any time to do laundry, let alone squeeze in “me time.” But carving out some alone time for yourself is super important for keeping your sanity, avoiding resentment, lowering […] The post Self-Care for Moms: Maximizing “Me Time” appeared first on New Modern Mom ..read more

Expert reviewed by Barb Davis, Certified Potty Training Consultant I was terrified to start potty training. We waited until Caden turned 3 to even attempt potty training, mostly because he was showing zero, I mean absolutely no signs that he was ready.

Despite the lack of “signs,” Caden potty trained rather easily and quickly – within a week he was accident free. Don’t misconstrue… we almost gave up night 1, but we stuck through it and the results were w ..read more
