Both of my boys are just at the age where they are showing an interest in potty training. They usually tell us when they have given us a little present in their diaper, so I figured that we should probably think about getting a potty of some sort.

The Boon Potty Bench has exceeded all of my expectations for a potty. I couldn’t make up my mind whether I was going to allow the boys to sit on the big toilet, or if we would do potty chairs for them. The logical choice, I decided, would be a potty chair. First off it is easier for them to get to and secondly, they both want to do the same thing at the same time.

The Potty Bench has locking compartments on the sides that lock when the lid is closed on the bench. The compartments are roomy and hold a roll of toilet paper, a container of wipes, and can also hold a little book or some potty training rewards. When the potty isn’t in use, it doubles as a step stool or bench. Both of the boys have been using it to wash their hands and to brush their teeth. They actually can both stand on it at the moment, side by side! It is even sturdy enough to hold me and can manage up to 300 lbs. I was pleasantly surprised, and intend on getting a second one, so there is no fighting over it. It is definitely worth the investment. Last thing you want is a potty that doesn’t hold up to wear and tear.

The Boon Potty Bench typically sells for about $35 and 10% of their profits are donated to children’s charities. So not only are you getting a great product, but you are helping a good cause.

When I first got started in blogging I didn’t know too much about getting your own domain and stuff. I mainly had my husband setting it all up for me. I just said make it to where I can blog ha! I know that he is always switching our domains in search of a better deal. At Web Hosting Geeks they offer reviews of the top webhosting providers. I like this because it has all the information in one place, so you aren’t out scouring a half a dozen places to find the right one. If you are looking for a new web host you should check Web Hosting Geeks out!

Most of us out there have at least one credit card on average. I am always doing the credit card shuffle in order to get the best rates and deals on my cards. With the rising gas costs, the last thing I need is a card with high interest on them! I ran across a really good site that sort of gives you the low down on different cards. For example low interest credit cards are often hard to find and require some research. At Credit Cards Club they have it very nicely organized in one spot so it is easier to navigate. So go have a look and check it out!

If you are a Mom you know that there is almost always a visit to the grocery store in your near future!
I thought that I would just give you some of the things that I do to save money and welcome any other tips that anyone can offer!

-I almost always check the stores weekly ads to see what I can stock up on.

-Coupons, coupons, coupons! You would be surprised at how much you can save on things in the store with coupons. You can find manufacturers coupons at their product website, along with the coupons from your local newspaper. Some places even offer to clip for you. One place in particular is The Coupon Clippers. Sometimes my local grocery offers super doubles where coupons up to 1.00 in value are doubled!

-Stock up! I always stock up on the non parishable things like bottled juices, canned goods, and dry goods that I know will keep. This helps limit your visits to the store and discourages all the unnecessary buying that comes with frequent trips! Bread freezes well, and if you love milk like our family does…I always buy enough for 10 days. Also fresh frozen fruits are a good alternative when you run out of the fresh stuff. It always helps to extend supply.

-The freezer is your friend! The freezer is a great tool for limiting grocery trips. If you happen to hit a good stock up sale. You can make meals ahead of time that freeze well. Also if you can swing an extra freezer for the basement you can store alot of things in there! It’s useful when meat is on sale!

-Make a list: And stick to it! It is ever so tempting to wander in the grocery and just buy, but if you have a strict agenda..then you can get in and get out and your pocket book will thank you!

I recently started taking these paid online surveys periodically just to see what they were all about. I just received my first payment in the mail for a whopping 3 million…oh wait I mean $3.00 LOL! I figure it is $3.00 more than I had before so it is a bonus. You have to love free money!
