Potty Training Victory!

January 21, 2010 by Juliann

My little boy just decided yesterday that he was finished with diapers for good. Braxton has pretty much mastered the ‘going pee’ thingy a long time ago, but not the poo. I knew he’d go poo on the toilet when he felt ready, and all of a sudden, he was ready. He does not wantanybody in the bathroom with him while he does ‘his thing’ because he does NOT want any help. Well, he DOES need help with wiping, needless to say. Braxton would rather just pull up his pants and go on his merry way, but we all know how messy and gross that would be. The only disaster we had so far was yesterday morning, Braxton fell into the great big ol’ toilet after standing back to view his ‘masterpiece’ as I wiped him, and he decided he needed to go more. Well, he failed to put down the big potty seat and slipped butt first onto his poo with his bare bum. Splash and Smash!!!! Uggghhhhhh what a mess! But I guess that is all part of this potty training adventure Braxton has embarked upon.

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.
