    How did you name your kids?

Ethan David Austin Timothy...

    Question about potty training boys.

    My husband showed ethan the 'point down'. Also, we did use cheerios and pretzels. We ended up using Fruit Loops the most because they're colored. Also, my husband and him would pee at the same time and it was like a target contest. All of that worked for us in no time.

    So I've been gone for a little bit... but i'm back. I've had 2 falls since I was last on here. One was outside on the ice and one was down about 5 stairs going down to my front door. Baby is okay after both but I was pretty banged up! Then I went to the dr because of some things that were...

    an emotional rollercoaster? - what an understatement!!!

    Okay, so I can't be the only pregnant one to have such horrible ups and downs. I feel like I'm going insane lately. I have less than 12 weeks (hopefully) left until the baby's born, but I am going CRAZY! I'm laughing one minute and crying hysterically the next. This is my 3rd child, so I know...

    Cost of Living is such a funny thing...

    my friend just bought her house in a town 3 hours south of us for $53,000. i was totally disgusted by the cheap price because to get a house in our city in the area we want would be around $300-400,000. we are currently renting (which is like throwing your money into a swimming pool to ruin...
