Discovering the Power of the Gospel for Marriage - When Sinners Say I Do
Discovering the Power of the Gospel for Marriage - When Sinners Say I Do

Review:My husband read this first. There is an analogy in here of sin and forgiveness being like a valve. When my spouse sins against me, will I return the sin with bitterness, lack of forgiveness, analogy, etc., or am I willing to absorb the sin as Jesus did for me on the cross? Read more

Review:This is the best potty training book. I followed the author’s technique exactly and my 25 month old got the hang of potty training VERY quickly. The book was a breeze to read, I finished it in two days. Read more

Once Upon a Potty -- Boy
Once Upon a Potty -- Boy

Review:This book is available in our public library - they have many copies, and they are all worn and dog-eared. Its the best book on the subject, so its worth buying your own copy. The illustrations are accurate enough to cause a little giggling among older children, but not graphic enough to be gross or icky. I wish it came in the cardboard book form. Read more

It Hurts When I Poop! a Story for Children Who Are Scared to Use the Potty
It Hurts When I Poop! a Story for Children Who Are Scared to Use the Potty

Review:Good story that is easy for children to understand why it hurts when they go #2. Unfortunately it hasn't eased his mind when he has to go and still holds it in. This book isn't a cure all but after several readings My 3 year old doesn't take an eternity when he needs to go. Don't look to this book to immediately solve constipation/bowel movement issues. It's more of an easier way of explaining to chidlren foods they should eat and not to hold in their bowels. Read more

Once Upon a Potty -- Girl
Once Upon a Potty -- Girl

Review:I first tried this with my middle child before he started potty training. He loved it almost instantly. The book helped him become more aware of himself and others and aided his ease into using the toilet. Yes, the "chamber pot" might not be contemporary, but he still made the connection. My youngest started reading his book and it also has helped her use the potty. But, this might be because "she" (21months) was much easier to train than my two oldest boys. She's very interested in the book, so... Read more

126 Boy Potty Training Stickers and Chart to Motivate Toilet Training
126 Boy Potty Training Stickers and Chart to Motivate Toilet Training

Review:Though the stickers and chart seem to be exciting for my little boy, I could have saved myself some money and just as easily made my own chart and bought cheaper stickers. The pictures weren't that creative, but if you don't have time to make your own, it's probably worth the money. Read more

The Step-by-Step Plan for a Clean Break from Dirty Diapers
The Step-by-Step Plan for a Clean Break from Dirty Diapers

Review:Easy read, easy process! This book was amazing and I highly recommend this to anyone who plans to potty train their child soon. My son is 3 and I knew it was time. I read the book a week prior to implementing the plan and gathered the necessary materials (i.e. potty trainer, M&Ms, sticker chart, underwear). If you follow this exactly as she recommends, you will have success. We're currently on Day 3 and my son is accident free. Read more
