There is a dangerous item that I can no longer bring myself to consume - water.* That's right, water. A lot of people are not aware of how dangerous water is. Some people have bad health if they drink too much water. It's true! There are people who are allergic to it. The little seahorse…

Don't give up and quit something just because it seems hard. When I tackled potty-training with PJ, the first day was hard! I tried timers, stickers, stories, etc. - anything to help him feel motivated. I did more loads of laundry that day than I do in a week. However, each day gradually got better.…
