Snuggles with Baby #UltraHug

There is nothing more special then spending time with your little one. I can't tell you how often I have looked at my older children and wondered where the time has gone. I wish I could make them small and cuddle with them again. Thankfully we live in an age where we can preserve these memories with photos.

Now I'm not the best at photography, but I still have a ton of really fun photos to remember my kids and our fun times with. The only way I generally get in the photos is if we're taking selfies, an experience in itself. As my photos scroll through on my screensaver I can see a whole line of great memories we have created as a family. We love to participate in activities together and there are so many great ones.

I've got photos of us at home, in the yard, at church, but one of my very favorites is this photo of the girls and I at the local Farmer's Market. This particular photo was taken just after baby G joined our family last summer. It was one of our first trips out and the kids and I had a blast at the market! For us the Farmer's Market is a great place to meet friends, try new things, and enjoy a sunny Saturday morning. My kids favorite part is always getting a free sample of popcorn. We also enjoy learning about the animals and fruit and vegetable products that are there. All of the vendors love sharing their knowledge and it's a great way to see unique foods and learn how to cook them from the experts but my very favorite part is that I love seeing all the beautiful crafts that can be found there. There is one lady often there that makes beautiful lamps out of recycled glass bottles. It's always amazing to see what new designs she comes up with.

Currently Huggies is bringing selfies to a whole new level of fun with their #UltraHug project. Participating is easy! Simply take a selfie of you and your baby and use #UltraHug and nominate the community project of your choice on Instagram or Twitter. From April 20th until June 25th, 2015, Huggies will be accepting all of these photos and featuring them in a collage on the project page. On July 6th, voting will begin to narrow down the 20 finalists to 10 winners who will receive a $2000 grant from Huggies for their nominated community initiative. Here are a few inspirational ideas to get you started.

Now make sure you go enter your favorite community place or project to win and thank Huggies Diapers at Walmart for the great opportunity! 

Spring Potty Training

With spring finally in the air it's time to begin another season at the Kerr house. It's actually a season that is ready to start again - potty training time.

I've been waiting very anxiously for F to be ready to potty train and she is just about there. As we get started, here are some of my favorite tips that I learned from the boys. While they are fresh on my mind I figured I would share.

1. Try to potty train when it's warm. I like to leave my kids either bare butt or with just undies and it seems a little extra mean to do that during the cold months of winter.
2. Set a timer. Yes, we all loose track of time, setting a timer is an easy way to make sure that your child is going potty. When we first start we use the Pampered Chef Clock Timer so I can remind the little one to go potty on a regular basis. Later on we switch to the Itzbeen Personal Baby Care Timer so I can keep track of how long since they last went and encourage them to go if it's been too long.
3. Build a reward system. Every child is different but by this point in your child's life you probably have a pretty good idea of what motivates them. At our house each of our children has had a different reward for successfully using the potty. Some things we have used are treats, stickers, and "potty dances". All can be fun!
4. Plan to stay home. For many of us this is the hard part but if you can plan 3-7 days to stay home with your child during the beginning of this time things will go a whole lot smoother. Simple things like automatically flushing toilets and bathrooms that aren't conveniently located can throw a wrench in the best potty training techniques.
5. Invest in a stool that works. This is the one piece of equipment that you shouldn't go without. Everyone has different opinions on small potty chairs vs. potty seats for the big toilet but at some point your child will transition to a regular toilet and having a good stool is an important part of that transition. At our house we have used the Little Looster with great success.

No matter the age or your parenting style, potty training can be a difficult but rewarding stage of life. To learn more great potty training tips please join Pampers on April 21st from 9-10pm EST as they host a Twitter Party with Dr. Laura Jana, pediatrician, award-winning parenting book author and potty training expert who co-authored to Its You and Me Against the Pee…and the Poop, Too!

Between Now and Never by Laura Johnston + Giveaway

Between Now and Never by Laura Johnston Buh boom, buh boom. My heart thrusts with a force that takes me by surprise. Telling me something I don’t understand. A splitting pain, a longing to slip back under. They tell me I was in a hit-and-run, but I can’t remember what happened that night. All I know is that I woke up with pictures in my pocket, a card from one of those photo booths in the mall. And I’m in the pictures. Cody Rush. Me and… Julianna. Her brother was there that night, and my dad, the FBI agent, was the one who put her mom behind bars. What’s the connection? And why won’t Julianna talk to me now? Somehow, she holds the key to it all, and getting close–real close—to her for the answers I need will be no hardship at all…
