I know with us, the whole system of a routine has slacked off...  There is no getting up for school and the days are a bit lazy...  We still take care of our hygiene... as in Broxton had a dentist appointment as soon as summer started!   Since summer is in full effect, I wanted to share with you a few friendly tips to keep those Pearly Whites Shining!  (As well as  to offer a giveaway for one lucky reader!!!)

When it comes to dental hygiene, you can always try something new to see if it works for you.   We love trying different toothpaste's and other products.. but one thing is for certain... We love the dental flossers.   Do you know what I am talking about?  The dental floss that is on the plastic stick.  We have them and use them with Broxton now as well.  It is just easier getting in a little one's mouth with that versus our hands. Marc absolutely loves the dental flossers and when I saw a new one (at least new to me) I knew we should try them out.   Marc and I both were so excited over the Proxi-Plus!  Not only is it a flosser, it also has a brush at the end. (I loved that the b...

Just that it makes shopping for Mothers Day more of thinking "outside the box" versus others that I shop for from time to time.   One great idea for Mother's Day?   A gift bag/basket full of random gifts that might make her happy.  One item?   Rembrandt Deeply White Collection.    A smile can tell you so much about someone...  At least some time... and with that, I am always drawn to a persons smile.  What could be better than a collection of dental products to make them white and shiny?   Use the  REMBRANDT® DEEPLY WHITE ®...

I will admit, when I read about the Soladey Ionic Toothbrush , I was expecting something different. I don't really know what I was expecting, but I will say, I did think it was supposed to be different.  I just saw that it was an Ionic Toothbrush... If you didn't have water.. no big deal.  No need for toothpaste... What?! I thought that this was going to be a great toothbrush for Marc.  Being that he is Military, I am always thinking of that what if... What if he gets deployed?  I thought that this was going to be a great idea... A toothbrush that he could use anywhere... No need for water or toothpaste.  Only thing you need is the actual toothbrush and a light source.  No, you don't need to have it in the sun for hours, you need just enough light that would operate a calculator!  So - the toothbrush arrives and it is pretty "far off / The Jetsons" for me... But get this... it seems like a normal toothbrush!  Yes, I guess I was thinking...

Oral health care has always been a big deal for my family. When Broxton was a baby, I would get the rubber finger cover and massage his gums, using different "baby toothpaste" for him.  Then, as teeth started coming in, we started working on brushing them. Now, Broxton loves to brush his teeth and he wants to do it as soon as he wakes up.  We try and get breakfast in him first, but sometimes he just wants to brush his teeth before he does anything else... It is a struggle at night, as he wants to brush them as we get ready for bed... and then again once we get in bed...  I know it is him trying to find things to do to help keep him awake, but I mean, how mad can I get that he is wanting to be clean?!

When Broxton was a baby, I had heard of these wipe type things, but we never could find ...
