You’d be crazy not to like OH, NUTS! by Tammi Sauer

As a dad, some of the best books that I can read to my children are those that I can enjoy too.

Pull Ups has tools to help with potty training

Lately, my mind has been in the toilet. Potty training is a topic that is front and center to any parent of a toddler. Toddler Mojo is just over two and a half and is curious about the potty. For the sake of our potty training lingo, potty mean urination and poop means solid matter.
