Here’s Why Little Children Stay in the Toilet With Their Moms and What I Learned From It

I think a lot of moms have been in my shoes. Let’s be honest. There was a time you had to or there will be a time you will have to take your child to the bathroom while you do number 2…except you are Hollywood type of rich or have a 24/7 nanny, family assistance, and husband services.

One Reason Babies Vomit and What I learned From It

The little one threw up twice after feeding. As a professional Googler, I turned to Google to find out why he was vomiting…..
