As you can see, One Moms World has released a new makeover.
I love interacting with moms, and that is my goal to get moms involved online and share our parenting stories together. Also we can give each other advice, because we are all on this parenting journey together.
I would love to hear your feedback and starting next Monday will be our Market Yourself Monday. Check it out here and I hope you will be a part of it.
You are probably like… what in the world is Jen writing on her blog?
But yes it was… notice I said “was” true. My wonderful four year old Madisyn is so special and soooo head strong like her mommy. Oh the stubborness comes out on a daily basis and the power struggles, but I wouldn’t live a day with out them ;).
She has been potty trained for pee peeing for about 2 years now. No problems whatsoever on potty training her that way, but she always just downright refused to poop(we call it woo woo) in the potty. She would always wait and go in her pull-up at night. Now granted she has always had tummy problems and is on medicine, so I think that is what led up to her just afraid to go woo wooing in the potty.
Well she is 4 1/2 now and mommy Jen had enough of her power struggles so I finally just said no more pull-ups at night. She was ok with this at first, but then the days started going by and there goes day 3, there goes day 6 and eventually we were on day 8 and she STILL had not went woo woo in the potty. What did I tell you… she is one head strong little girl. Definitely has the whole mind over matter game going on.
Last night you could tell she was in obvious pain. I was trying everything to coax her to just go try and sit on the potty. I had already told her at the beginning of this whole thing that if she would go, I would take her to disney world. She said no thanks mom I would rather just have my pull-up. STUBBORN lol.
So I thought ok, well since she is so attached to her pull-ups I will put one on her but cut out the seat of it and make her sit on the potty. So I did that and what do you know BINGO…. she went and woo wooed in the potty. BUT the funny thing is… I was on the phone talking to my friend Carrie Lauth, when Madisyn came running and said really LOUD
mommy mommy, I woo wooed a big one in the potty mommy. It’s really big come look.
Now, I had already talked to Carrie about Madisyn just a little bit at the beginning of the conversation, so I’m not sure if Carrie put two and two together of what Madisyn was saying… I was just hurrying up and getting off the phone and dying in embarrassment LOL.
I got off the phone and ran into the bathroom and picked her up and we both cried. We were so happy but yet crying. I immediately dropped everything and took her to target and let her pick out three toys (of course on the clearance aisle hahaha). We rocked out and danced for the longest time last night. Went and got ice cream. I really wanted to play it up so she would think that this was just the greatest thing ever. She is still talking about it and so far so good today all is well.
Anyways, hopefully our story will help others. Surely we are not the only ones that are dealing with this problem ;).
My best bud on this side of the planet haha… which would be the one and only Nell Taliercio tagged me today to write up what makes me fell HOT! So here we go….
Well first thing the hot sun down here in Florida… LMAO. Oh silly Jen you weren’t talking about the sweaty hot was you Nell… you were talking about ohhh laaa laaaa sexy hot huh?
I personally feel really sexy and like a hot mama when I straighten my hair. I like my hair curly and its easy to manage, but I LOVE when my hair is straight. It just makes me feel so beautiful and the way Scott looks at it gets my heart to skip a beat. I usually do it about 3 or 4 times a week because if I am having a rough day, I can go straighten my hair and it puts an instant smile on my face.
Here is a picture of one day I was posing for the camera hahaha….
What ya think… is Jen a hot chick?
Ok… I am going to tag another mom to hear what makes her feel hot? 🙂

Single Parenting, Packing up a House, Planning the Move, and Working the Business all wrapped into one moms world can cause so much craziness. Yes there are times I just want to give up and cry and not look back, but then I have to come to my realization that this is only temporary and IT WILL GET BETTER ;).
You know when I am stressed to the max and the girls are not being at their best, I have learned to just sit down and cool off and think of all that I DO HAVE. I can just sit and look at my girls and it makes life just throw away all the stress in my life and melts my heart all over again. Look at this picture I captured this weekend and you can see why just by looking at their faces my stress can be easily minimized.
All this weekend the girls and I have been singing “You Are My Sunshine”. They just love this song and will sing it going to bed and once their eyes light open in the mornings the words are coming out again ;). My two year old is leaning the words from her big sis so good. Please take a moment and listen and see what kind of big smile you will get. At then end you will hear “I Love You Daddy” because the girls talk to their daddy each night on the phone and since I was recording this over the phone Lyndsee just figured she was singing for daddy. The words will definitely tug at the heart. ENJOY!
I shall return to the madness…. 😉
