Potty training your child can be one of the most challenging tasks a parent can face. As part of the MommyCast series “My Baby Me and My World,” sponsored by Pampers, Paige and Gretchen sit down with two Moms and discuss the difficulties they have come up against when tackling this developmental milestone. Monica Bishopp, a mother of three, and Camille Flint, mother of four, share their personal stories of how they finally got their children potty trained.  This episode also contains some tips and tricks submitted by MommyCast fans. If you have any potty training stories, share them here!

Paige interviews Charlie Engle, an endurance runner, about his long distance run across the Sahara Desert, and his charity organization H2O Africa.  H2O Africa was co-founded by Engle, Matt Damon, and others involved with Engle’s Documentary film, Running the Sahara. Engle also founded Mission Skincare, based on knowledge he acquired about caring for your skin in the desert.  You can visit Charlie’s website at charlieengle.com.

Kelly Ripa, co-host of Live with Regis & Kelly, talks with our very own Paige and Gretchen about her latest charitable endeavor, Kelly’s Ultimate Cake Off.   Guests can go to www.Kelly-Confidential.com to vote for their favorite cake created by competing amateur bakers.  The bakers were helped in the process by TLC’s own Cake Boss, Buddy Valastro.  Visitors to the site can also send a virtual cake to a friend.  Electrolux will donate a dollar to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund each time someone votes or sends a cake.  Participants will also be entered to win a new Electrolux Inducation Range.

Giving birth is only the beginning of the journey. From bathing to feeding it is important for parents to be prepared when bringing a newborn home from the hospital.
