Potty training...is today the day??

My daughter took her diaper off this morning...and she does NOT want it back on. I'm thinking maybe I should try potty training. She's been without a diaper for about 2 hours-I am being very brave!!  She tinkled a little bit two separate times but once I realized she was going, I asked her to go on the potty.  As quick as her little legs could go, she ran to the potty and went a little more! We had one larger accident on the kitchen floor but I know that's to be expected. I have a timer set on my phone for every 15 minutes and when it goes off, she now realizes it's her signal to go to the potty (which is currently set up in the family room, right near all the toys and in direct view of the TV). Of course she gets an M&M each time she goes, too!

She's been interested in the potty and has been going a couple times a day for a few months. Since I'm home with her right now, it's probably a good time to actually be serious about this.  I am interested in other parent's experiences...did you use a timer?  Did you do the naked route?  What's your best advice?
