Our Potty Training Journey

Our Potty Training Journey

A huge disclaimer here is that I am not an expert in potty training. But I am a mom who has recently lived through it (let’s be honest, currently living) and hope that the sharing of my experience may help other mothers through the process.

“Oh Mon Dieu”, a common French phrase meaning Oh My God, is a frequently used saying in our family. Once it was discovered that a rhyme could be created, Oh Mon Dieu, Poppy’s Two, a French and Paris themed birthday party was born.

Happy Bee-day! Poppy’s first birthday party.

I’m a sucker for an adorable themed birthday party and I’m so excited to share the details. Despite the fact her birthdays have been during the pandemic in a winter month, we’ve made the most of it and really enjoyed the intimate parties.

Tofu (Baked and Fried).

Tofu (Baked and Fried).

Tofu is such a diverse ingredient that I think is so underutilized because it can be intimidating. Tofu, a vegetarian soy based product, is high in protein and healthy fats and is typically much more affordable than other sources of protein. It is also a more
