Happy Mother's Day to the Motherless and Childless!

Today is Mother's Day! A Happy Mother's Day to everyone on Earth including the Mother Earth herself!



All of us are coming from a Mother even if we don't have a good relationship with her or don't have her anymore. The Mother's Day itself was initiated about a hundred years ago to honor the wish of a mother (Mrs. Jarvis) who passed away. So I want to take a moment to honor the day of those who are not fortunate to have their Mothers or Children with them anymore. Hope you have the courage to embrace the day and take time to relive your memories today. They are those moments of past reflections which keep us connected to our reality and anchor us back to who we are coming from. We only forget if we ignore the past.

Motherhood: Folding Travel Potty Seat

If you have a young toddler you're potty training, you probably know that the public restroom seats can be scary places for them and for the parents. For different reasons!

This fold-able cushioned potty seat had been a great solution for us when we were potty training our little one. This is one thing I would recommend over a number of products we used. It's hygenic, small and practical.

It comes with a small carrying bag to place in your bag. I simply wash and dry it after using and place it in my handbag. Nobody even notices that I'm toting it around. :)
