It’s been a while since I updated about Elyana’s potty training, since the last couple of posts, “The Potty Training Challenge” and “The Potty Training Challenge 2″. Basically, we didn’t have much progress since then.
It seemed like she developed a phobia of going into the potty. She’s been perfectly ready for the potty for at [...]

Family Update
Seems like I’ve been moving a mile a minute since Nathan was born seven weeks ago. Now the randomity of dealing with our new family member is wearing off, and the well-desired routine is settling in. A quick update is long overdue after taking a 7-week break from blogging.
Baby Nathan is now 7 weeks old [...]
Preparing for a New Baby Minimalista Way, Necessary Baby Equipment
My other posts from this series:

Preparing for a New Baby Minimalista Way, Choosing a Jogging Stroller
Before I even start talking about choosing a jogging stroller, here are some questions I think you should ask yourself:
How often are you planning to use the stroller? Once or more per week, once a month, when the opportunity comes up? This could decide the quality of the stroller you want, besides just the features. [...]

In my opinion, an every day stroller is not a thing to buy at the garage sale. Since it has a few nuts and bolts, moving parts, folding mechanism, you [...]

I am a minimalista and in less than three weeks we are expecting our second child, this time it’s a [...]
Litter Fight
Today my 2-year old daughter gave me about 1 hour of extra work that I didn’t ask for! It all started with me changing an old litter box to a new automatic litter box.
As I was pouring the litter into the new litter box, I realized I didn’t have enough. So I dug into the [...]
Minimalist’s House Organization – Baby Room Closet
I probably am one of the worst home organizers you will ever meet. Why? Before I met my husband, I didn’t have much stuff, didn’t care for having lots of it, and I seemed to always have enough space for what I had. So home organization was one of the last things that ever popped [...]
Am I a Bad Mother?
Leaving my 2-year old at the daycare this morning, left a very bad taste in my mouth. Since I am almost 37 weeks pregnant and having a harder time keeping up with my daughter’s social and everyday activities, we decided to put her in the daycare for couple of days a week. It should give [...]
