#mombassadorchat Moms, Today's #mombassadorchat is with @believeinbuddha on crafting!! Here's her bio: Hi there! I'm the Buddhist Mama. I am 27 years old and from central California. I have four children; Ava, Ella, Zeus, and Harley Quinn. I am no stranger to struggle and have seen my share of ups and downs in life. No matter what the universe throws at me I like to stay positive and take everything as a lesson to be learned and wisdom to be gained. I like to focus on what truly matters in life, like the small stuff; feeling a sense of accomplishment and pride. One way I help to build these feelings up in myself is by crafting. Pinterest is my life! I get so much joy every day from just being inspired and I try to spread that joy in every way that I can. I love my ability to utilize this community of you wonderful moms. Mom Life is an incredible blessing for me which I am so thankful for. We are all here to support one another and share our stories, strength, and hope. I look forward to getting to know everyone and helping this app grow! Tips I have for crafting: 1. Use what you already have. Look around your house; you can craft with anything from old curtains to clothes, broken jewelry or scrap wood. Go outside! You can use rocks, cardboard, and recyclables for various projects as well. 2. Find ideas on Pinterest. I get all of my ideas from here! 3. Check out budget stores. Dollar tree, 99 cent store, Dollar General and thrift shops are always rotating their inventory to bring in new products. You will be surprised what you can find! 4. Invest in a glue gun. A good glue gun will run you about $7.50 and a large pack of glue sticks is $10 for 100 sticks. This will come in handy, trust me. It expands your ability to craft! A large pack of sticks lasts me months so its perfect for moms on a budget. 5. Coupon. If you go to the craft stores make sure you bring all the coupons you can find. The store sites usually have a few posted and if you sign up for their email news letter they send you extra ones too. You can use all the coupons you find because at most craft stores there's no limit. But always check your local Wal-Mart first! I have found that paint and felt for example is less than half the price there.

#mombassadorchat Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips! Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding. I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second son I was determined to breastfeed, and even though he was born 11 weeks early I wasn't going to let that stop us from trying to breastfeed! For 7 weeks I pumped every 2 1/2-3 hours on the dot to establish and maintain my milk supply. When your little one is born early they usually need time to master sucking, swallowing, and breathing so I wasn't able to nurse right away. When my son was 33 weeks gestational (so 4 weeks old) we were finally able to latch on, and he did great! By 36 weeks gestational we had successfully started breastfeeding, and today marks 21 months of actual at-breast breastfeeding for us! I am passionate in trying to help moms-to-be and moms with breastfeeding and/or pumping, but I support moms who choose not to or for other reasons cannot breastfeed. Remember, I mentioned I didn't breastfeed my first son. I understand both sides. Breastfeeding isn't always easy, but I believe it's at least worth trying! Please help me celebrate World Breastfeeding Week by sharing your tips, questions, concerns, product recommendations, or anything else breastfeeding and pumping related! If you have a question for @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, please tag her in the comments below! Or share your advice and feeding stories.

I am determined and driven for success FAILURE isn't an option for me. I potty trained my oldest at 9 months old. My 2 middle son's were more difficult they were between 18 months and 2 years old.

Don't punish your child for having accidents 4.) Don't give you child candy 5.) Don't compare other children to your child 6.) Do praise your child 7.)

I don't recommend pull ups but I don't bash mothers who decided to use them. 11.) Remember potty training is not taught in one day you have to be determined to potty train your child.
