Potty Time; A giveaway for you!

potty time

With babies comes sleepless nights and feeding, with toddlers comes tantrums and mess, with pre-schoolers comes...toilet training! It seems at each stage of parenthood when one milestone is achieved, a new challenge is presented. And my latest challenge? Toilet training. 

You may remember a few months back me mentioning Stellas readiness for getting rid of the nappies, well since then she has developed an even more heightened sense of self awareness and she is both physically and mentally ready for the challenge.

To help me with this patience-testing, exciting and very new venture I have still been using my Potty Time resources. There always seems to be a new query or worry on my mind and Potty Time has helped me immensely. Two Little Hands were kind enough to send me the Potty Time Training DVD, which is jingling away in the background as I type. The DVD has a way of capturing both kids and mamas with its terribly annoying but catchy little songs, I find myself singing about washing hands and 'stopping to go' even when Stella is down for her midday nap.

And the best bit? You have an opportunity to sing along to these jingles as well! I have a copy of the Potty Time DVD and Music CD for one lucky reader to receive and help them on their way to toilet training success. Now, who wants to look as silly as I do humming along to the addictive tunes of this DVD?

* To enter, all you need to do is comment below with a 'T' word that best describes your toddler. Terrific? Terror? Talented? Be as creative or as simple as you like! *

The giveaway is open to all readers, international and local and ends on Thursday the 24th of May at 7:00PM AEST. The winner will be chosen via a random number generator.

I can't wait to announce a winner! Goodluck to you all (and send a little luck my way too for the challenge ahead of me!)
Plenty of love,

Stop! Potty time.


Stella has hit that age, the age where her Mother is reading chapters and chapters about toilet training and constantly questioning her on needing to do a 'wee wee'. Toilet training is imminent.

If she see's me head to the bathroom (considering I have a pregnant woman's bladder, this is quite often) she spends the next twenty minutes embarrassingly but adorably chanting "Mama do a weeee, mama do a weeee, mama do a weee!". I know she is psychologically ready, and almost physically ready, but I am still a little lost as to how to start. Toilet training is a whole new world of confusing. 

I stumbled across Potty Time online a few weeks back. I have been browsing the website for tips and tricks as well as showing Stella cute little animations and sing alongs about needing to go to the toilet. Who knew toilet training could be so fun! My favourite part of the website is easily the potty training resources section. I have printed the training chart and accumulated a supply of glittery star stickers, as well as downloaded the app for my iPhone. Seriously, this website is a godsend for the 21st century mama.


We are still in the learning process currently and I am happy to take the entire experience as slowly as it needs to go. Each tiny step by each tiny step!  I am currently waiting to receive a copy of the Potty Time training DVD. I cant wait to share it with you all and begin our little adventure to Independence! Why oh why do our children grow up so quickly!
