Our potty training journey: My Carry Potty

When Nevaeh just turned Two she was potty trained fully within a week or so we had little blips where she had accidents but she was pretty much potty trained two weeks after her second birthday. I just knew it wasn't going to be plain sailing with lullah I had it to easy with Nevaeh. And lets just say I was correct we had a nightmare the first few days we have put it off and off as she really was not interested and wouldn't even sit on a potty and there is no way I would force her on it and traumatise her.

So when we were offered a My Carry Potty to try with her I jumped at the chance. I would give anything ago to try get this little monster sitting her little bum on the potty. When Lullah opened her my carry potty she instantly loved it our potty is cow print which she noticed straight away, so we had her carrying the potty making cow noise's for a few hours, I was just relieved she was entertaining a potty even if it was singing to it. The My Carry Potty is so light and easy to carry around it fit underneath our stroller in the basket which was perfect. A few days went by and we were still hit and miss with her actually making it to the potty in time so along with the potty we got a reward chart involved. Between the potty and the reward chart we have come such a long way and all the water works are on the potty now. We are still having bottom accidents but we are pretty much potty trained now!

I feel like the my carry potty has had a massive impact on our potty training it really has some great key features such as

• A leak proof seal

Which was perfect for when being out and about and not having anywhere to empty the potty so no nasty leaks everywhere.

• Secure locking mechanism

Again great for no leaking or nasty accidents especially as lullah liked to carry her potty everywhere herself

• Non-slip feet

This one is brilliant have you ever watched a child try and sit on a potty which ends up them falling over or walking backwards pushing it along the floor it usually ends up with a puddle on the floor. This is prevented by the my carry potty non-slip feet.

• My carry handle

The handle just makes it so easy to carry round even for little hands ours also fit over our stroller handles.

• Large comfy seat

I did notice after lullah has sat on this toilet she does not end up with those big red circle marks on her bottom.

I'm pretty sure our potty will be used for a good while our little moo cow even got a trip to the beach this weekend, It is just so practical for everyday and makes going out whilst potty training so much easier. Its so appealing to little ones you can get them in a number of prints such as ladybird and bumblebee they are both bright coloured and have cute little face features. Something I have really loved about the carry potty is how easy it is to clean, I have been discarding the waste giving it a quick rinse with water and a wipe with a anti bac wipe, Iv found this works a treat and stops it getting smelly.

Overall we are really happy with our My Carry Potty and would say they are definitely worth the money. They are great quality and I would say you could keep it if you were planning on having more children.

Back to school with BIC!

So now we are pretty much half way through the holiday (phew) it's time to start getting all our back to school items ready for that first week of September.
  As a kid I always remember that last week of the holidays trying on my uniform and sorting my pencil case out over and over. It's so important to have a good set of stationary so you are fully equipped for any activity you may face!

BIC stationary is on a mission to reignite the nation's passion for writing and have set up a campaign #Justwrite. With this they have created the perfect stationary sets which would be perfect for back to school. With myself going back into education this year I'm rather excited by these sets. They are jam packed with everything you need!

In one pack we have

• Five ball pens in Pink,red,green,purple and black 
• Two retractable ball pens in Purple and Turquoise 
• Five graphite pencils in grey
• One mini pocket mouse correction tape 
• One glue stick 
• One eraser  

In the second pack we have

• Seven original highlighters
• Five comfort highlighters
• Three XL highlighters 

Both packs have 15 pieces and is enough to set anyone up for going back to school. I am going to find the bright colourful highlighters so use full while studying and writing essays, I'm always making mistakes so the corrector is going to get lots of use without having to start whatever I'm writing all over again. These sets have made me feel organised as I have everything I need in one set I didn't have to find it all individually. You can find these set in stores such as staples,sainsburys,Bnm and wilkinsons RRP £5.00
