(Gal 5:22-23 NIV) Today I was journaling and praying for Milly (of course from PrayerWithPurpose: 90 Days of Prayer for Your Unborn Child) and the prayer today was for Self-Control. As

Well, we are on day 4 of the potty training process (We used THIS “method”)- Day 1 was exciting, she was excited about the new “activity”, day 2 was a nightmare- peeing everywhere, Day 3 was great- only 1 accident but no pooping. So we are hoping that it will get easier every day and we can
