Baby your Baby's Teeth - Baby Banana Brush Review & GIVEAWAY - ends 2/13/12


Baby teeth are baby teeth, they're going to fall out anyway, right?  Well, right but starting your kid early on brushing their teeth and taking care of their dental hygiene will set them up for years of healthy habits as they mature. 

Plus, it's not only teeth that need to stay healthy, it's the gums too that can develop disease if not properly cared for. Knowing this, I bought a small toddler sized (regular style) toothbrush when my little one had gotten her first two teeth. 

The first thing I noticed, was that she wanted to carry the toothbrush around herself. Obviously, at this age I'm not going to be able to get a full 5 minute brushing session in, so the longer she "tries" to brush herself the better.

Being that she had just started walking, she was prone to fall and this hard plastic toothbrush was a hazard just waiting to happen. So, the moment she got up with the toothbrush and started to walk, I'd have to take it away, to the tune of many tears.

Baby Banana Brush by Live-Right, offers the solution to pediatric dental care.  This baby toothbrush, was invented by a dental hygienist in response to the exact situation I was describing above (toddlers & oral injures). I was curious to see if there really was a difference between standard children's toothbrushes and the Original Baby Banana Brush, and was given the opportunity to try one out with my daughter. 

My little peanut opens the Baby Banana Brush for the first time

Wow, my daughter loves this toothbrush!  It's soft and flexible, made from medical grade silicone so on the off chance she does fall, there is less risk of injury to her precious mouth. The Banana brush can double as a teething device, by putting in the freezer, and is durable enough to be sanitized in the dishwasher!  The Original Banana Brush is recommended for babies 12-24 months.
 




She tries the Baby Banana Brush - and LOVES IT!


My 12 month old was instantly intrigued and excited about this Baby Banana Brush, and now wants to brush her teeth before bed every night. She even tries to brush mommy's teeth!

Make your weeknight meal special - with Bertolli Meal Soups for Two (I did)


I am one of those strange birds who actually likes to cook!  That being said, with a toddler under foot and one in the belly I'm not always at my best to get in the kitchen and whip up a fancy meal.

Bertolli must have heard my call, and has created Premium Bertolli Meal Soups, from the freezer to the bowl literally in minutes!



I was given a coupon to try one of the Bertolli Meal Soups for 2, and a challenge to "Make a Weeknight Meal Special."  Naturally, I was anxious to see if this frozen meal would stand up to some of my homemade soup creations.  I choose the Chicken Minestrone, I was pleasantly surprised as it was completely delicious!  

Simple to prepare, just open the bag and pour into a saucepan, add 1 cup of water, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Seriously, that's it and it's done.  They must have some new way of flash freezing these veggies and ingredients so that they are still crisp, colorful and delicious after the trip from the store's freezer, to my pot and then bowl.



If you have a special night and not much time to prepare, your significant other would be pleased to have you set down a bowl of this piping hot, savory and comforting meal in front of them.  

Just add a candle to the table, throw a tablecloth on, and put some warm crusty french bread in a basket to make it feel like you're at a little romantic Italian restaurant (that's what I did) :-)




MORE ABOUT BERTOLLI Meal Soups
  • Bertolli® Frozen Meal Soups are hearty and fresh-tasting with vegetables, meats, pasta and herbs individually flash frozen at the  peak of freshness.
  •   Bertolli® Frozen Meal Soups are available in the frozen aisle, and can be prepared on your stovetop in minutes.
  •   With robust flavors and rich textures, new Bertolli® Frozen Meal Soups are available in four varieties: Chicken Minestrone, Roasted Chicken & Rotini Pasta, Tomato Florentine & Tortellini with Chicken, and Tuscan-Style Beef with Vegetables
LOVE BERTOLLI like I do?



Disclosure: I was compensated by Bertolli to participate in the Weeknight Meal Special Challenge.
