Researchers have found more than 10 million bacteria living on a single toothbrush. YUCK!!!!
Luckily, VIOlight Toothbrush Sanitizers – the revolutionary toothbrush sanitizing system – promises to eliminate up to 99.9% of germs.
Employing germicidal ultraviolet technology, VIOlight safely sterilizes toothbrushes by removing germs and bacteria. Simply insert your toothbrush in the device and it goes to work then turns off automatically. Holds up to four toothbrushes.
All Laundry Detergent launched their new detergent, All Oxi-Active, with a messy birthday-themed party for bloggers and their kids. I’m not a mom but I didn’t want to be left out, so I borrowed my friend’s son, Malakai, for the afternoon. The party was kiddie paradise, complete with an insanely talented balloon guy. He twisted and popped to the children’s delight, and created Thomas, Superman, Spiderman, aliens, you name it. We gratefully protected their clothing with blue Tshirts before they were let loose.
The children then chose whether they wanted to be in the grassed sports section or the princess section. Malakai headed to the grass. He got the chance to paint the liquid grass on his shirt. Most of the liquid ended up on the table cloth and across the table, and he quickly turned the paint brushes into drum sticks but he had a ball.
Most of the girls headed to the princess section and decorated cupcakes and cookies with chocolate, sprinkles, sugar, ice-cream, etc. This section definitely was the messier of the two. They needed no prompting to smear their shirts, the tablecloths and any lucky surrounding parents with the sweet, sticky stuff.
After their shirts were all colors of messy, they were dumped into the wash. When they were taken out, they were hung out to demonstrate that all the stains were completely gone (except the permanent marker, but it is called permanent for a reason).

Dr. Michele Borba, parenting expert and author of “The Big Book of Parenting Solutions” talked about the importance of play and letting children freely explore their environments without freaking out about stains on their clothing. All Oxi-Active detergent does the hard work by getting rid of the gunk, so parents can focus on enjoying playtime with their children. This detergent promises to remove grass, blood, wine, grape juice, coffee with milk and ice cream, to name a few. You can pick it up at your local food store.

I’ve mentioned before that my house is pretty much all organic. My husband started us on this path and is now decided to limit our shopping list to all natural household items such as soaps, shampoos, cleaning products and candles.
I’m not complaining (except for the higher price tags… that part I will complain about – just a tad).
Yesterday, I was invited to attend a launch for Burt’s Bees newest line of toothpaste. The company introduced a line of six natural, effective toothpastes clinically proven to improve oral health. Each is formulated with real Cranberry Extract, known to block bacteria from adhering to teeth and gums, helping prevent plaque formation before it starts.
Free from Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, as well as artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives, Burt’s Bees® Natural Toothpastes are the first and only natural toothpaste line of products to be certified by the Natural Products Association. Burt’s Bees® Natural Toothpastes are available with and without fluoride so you can choose what’s right for you and your family.
When I came home, Bill fell to the floor with excitement because the line includes 2 children flavors – one with fluoride and one without. Liam is just learning to spit out toothpaste. Since Burt’s Bees is safe to swallow (the one without fluoride is 100% natural) we can switch to this brand and know there’s no danger should some get digested.
