I did a little research and found out this a real exercise. A real copyrighted thing. Prancercise. I. yeah. This is my kind of exercise. Forget Jillian Michaels. Intrigued? Well, you can check it out below.

Also, her book cover is fantastic.

Wednesday Goodies: Potty trained!

May 29, 2013 | Posted by Chelsey

My kiddo is now 100% potty trained. She’s been day time potty trained since October…. but now she can sleep through the night without a diaper! So happy to be done with pull ups. Plus, she’s so proud of herself. This calls for a celebration. Wine for me and a treat for her! Hee.

This diaper commercial made me giggle. Free those baby buns!
