From potties to training pants, here are the eco friendly options we are thinking about! 1. Beco Potty - Made from…

Spoiler alert: If you are hoping for how to potty train in 2 days, this is not the post for you! ;) We began “potty learning” when D was about 14 months old. You can read about how we began in this previous blog post , which helps explain the why’s and how’s of our method. Since then, I’ve been get
