Congratulations to Lori P. of Broomfield, winner of our Bella Tunno smock!

I have been in the throes woes of potty training lately. One of the many challenges is access. Namely, if my daughter Hadley miraculously does decide to go, she cannot finagle her belt. It seems like a no-brainer that manufacturers would make a belt that children can navigate on their own.

Enter: brainiacs Danielle Eason and Talia Goldfarb. These two moms developed award-winning Myself Belts, the first belt intended for one-handed use that makes dressing and undressing an easy and accessible thing for a child of any age. Popular with Hollywood’s hottest moms like Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Cindy Crawford, Myself Belts comes in a number of different styles. The functionality of the belt assures all tots feel independent and self-confident as they can now secure their pants on their very own – any place or time!

The belts range in size from XS to 7/8 and even cater to adults as well. Their patented easy-to-use closure snaps around a front belt loop and then wraps around and secures in the front with Velcro. Now parents can add a priceless extra five minutes to their morning schedule as their kids can now clothe themselves and use the restroom whenever they please without asking mama for help.

We recently acquired a belt for Hadley and she was thrilled to have a “big-girl belt.” Within hours of wearing it, she boldly declared she went poop in the potty. By herself. This, from the girl who would rather forsake Dora and all that is sacred than be seen defecating in the toilet.

As it turned out, she was just faking it. But if a Myself Belt can inspire the most stubborn toddler on the planet to even make an attempt at the potty, just think of what it can do for your child.

We will be giving away the belt of your choice. Simply email us at giveaways@milehighmamas.com with “Myself Belts” in the subject line, along with your mailing address.
