Potty Product Review: The Little Looster

When Sawyer got interested in all things potty a few months ago, I thought we'd never potty train him because he was afraid of the toilet.  He hated the little potty, and is so small that the big toilet was really difficult for him to navigate.  So even though he was interested and could tell us before he was going to go, he had absolutely no interest in going ON the toilet.  Last week was his first time to go on the toilet, and it was great!  But still kind of hard for him to manage without falling in.  Until now.

Last week, I received a really cool potty product called The Little Looster for review.  You can see it here at the base of the toilet in our lovely staged photo.  Basically, it's a sturdy plastic stool, shaped to fit around the toilet and provide three-sided stability for the little ones.  It's PERFECT.

Since that first wobbly success, we've had a number of poops and pees on the toilet, all aided by the Little Looster.  It cleans off really well, being plastic, and in our potty adventures, we've definitely had to clean it off, if you get my drift.  I can also see it transitioning to a great boost for tooth brushing at the sink.  So if you are needing some help in potty training and helping your little ones feel confident on the big toilet, definitely give this product a try!

Snikkidy Snacks Giveaway!

This week, Snikiddy Snacks sent me a sample of their gluten-free Baked Fries to sample and I have three more samples to give away, so leave a comment at the bottom of this post to enter!  (You can also do multiple posts to let me know if you posted a link to my blog on facebook, twitter, or your blog.)  Here you can see Saw enjoying them, and I tried them as well.  We are lucky enough to not have allergies (that we know about yet) at our home, but I do have friends who can't have gluten.  I actually forgot that these were gluten-free until after we'd polished off the bag.  I was really surprised, because they basically reminded me of any other great cheese snack.  (This week, with my Dad here, I will admit we got into cheese balls.)  Definitely a more healthy alternative to some of those more processed, cheesy chips, the Snikiddy Snacks Baked Fries were a hit at our house!  Leave comments to win your free sample.  I'll draw for a winner on Tuesday, so leave your comments by 11:59pm on Monday! *****Make that 11:59pm TUESDAY!  WINNER ANNOUNCED WEDNESDAY.
