Huggies Pull-Ups Training Pants #HuggiesWalmart

Is your child potty training?  How much of your life does it seem like it consumes?  For me it feels like, if I'm not helping them go to the bathroom, I'm cleaning up from when they didn't make it!  And I'm always buying packages of Huggies Pull-Ups.  The trouble is that there is … [Read more...]
