Ahh… the bathroom. The place where you can have privacy and a few minutes to yourself to doo what you need to doo. A sacred place that we took for granted for a long time, before we had kids. Somehow, after you become a parent, the bathroom is no longer your private place. They failed to tell us that our kids have a radar that tells them exactly when we walk into the bathroom so that they can knock, stick their tiny hands and feet under the door, ask you a million questions, beg you to come in… the demands are endless and always seem to be that exact moment when you finally take a break from your busy life to use the bathroom.
Whatcha doo-in Mom?
I miss those days. The days when I could sit down and actually relax for a moment as I did my doody…. As a parent, I find myself having to rush through it before someone knocks on the door and needs my attention. And honestly, I miss it. And while I know that my girls are growing up so quickly and one day I’ll miss those bangs on the door and endless questions, right now, I just want to be able to poo in peace.
I have been a fan of Poo~Pourri Before-You-Go® Toilet Spray for years. If you haven’t heard of it, you may be living under a rock. It’s genius. When you live in a household of 5, you don’t want to walk into a bathroom and get a whiff of what the person before you left behind. This all natural spray is made up of essential oils and traps the smell with just a few sprays before you go. So after you flush, you don’t leave anything behind but a refreshing bouquet of natural essential oils.
Mama, Are you Done Yet?
When I found out that the founder of Poo~Pourri, Suzy Batiz and The Poo Crew had written a book, I couldn’t wait to read it. The WOO of POO: Change Your Life In The Time You Take a Sh*t was not only the perfect bathroom read, but gave me a reason to stay in the bathroom just a little bit longer. Each chapter is inspiring and gives a little insight into how you can be a better person. Between the company’s triumphant stories to the “Take a Shift” exercises, you can’t help but leave the bathroom a changed person.
While I loved the entire book, my favorite chapter was Woo #4: Doo it on purpose. This particular chapter focuses on how we can become the person we’ve always wanted to be. It really resonated with me because up until a few years ago, I felt like I was living the life I was supposed to live, not the life I wanted to live. I think we are brought up that way. You are supposed to get married, you are supposed to have a career and you are supposed to have kids… and while all of this is awesome, is it what you wanted or what you were supposed to do? When I finally stopped worrying about what my life was supposed to look like and more about what I wanted my life to look like, things changed, drastically. I was excited to get up in the morning. I was excited about my career. I was excited to be a Mom and a wife. I had a purpose and it was the purpose I chose, not the one that was chosen for me.
Sometimes, I think we need a little reminding. And so this book not only serves as that reminder, but also gives you a few moments back in your day to allow yourself to focus on you and how you can live a better life. If this sounds like something you’ve wanted to do, please take a moment and check out The WOO of POO: Change Your Life In The Time You Take a Sh*t. I know it’s going to change my life and I’m sure it will change yours.

Hello There!
Hi!

I share a mix of parenting moments, easy recipes, crafts, and DIY home decor projects.
Around here, we love turning ordinary stuff into extraordinary gifts, from candy box baskets and birthday punch boards to homemade advent calendars and other crafty chaos that somehow always works out.
Welcome to The Super Mom Life — where the projects are fun, the coffee is strong, and the laughter is pretty much required for survival. Don't forget to follow us on social media!
I had a good laugh on the part where you dealing your bathroom break with kids. All mom out there definitely feel your sentiment.
This is really cute and useful. I got a cute package of poopourri and now I’m hooked. I will check this one out too.
We haven’t tried this brand but we used a similar one. When we were still at our old house, we only had one bathroom and the interruption happened a lot of times!
I love products that use essential oils. I think we could the Poo~Pourri Before-You-Go Toilet Spray in our home!
Pou-Pourri should now be part of my travel and bag essentials. Well, respect to those who will be next to you. I am sure no one will be happy entering the comfort room with bad odor.
Wow, this is my first time to learn about this product and I am amazed. Me and my officemate were just talking about out Comfort room experiences at the office and this is the answer! Hahaha I should get one or two of this.
I have heard so much about poo-pourri. I had never actually seen it until I went on a trip and there was some in the hotel bathroom.
