Listerine Smart Rinse-- Product Review

My kids teeth are very important to me. So far Dodge (5) has never had a cavity:) Something I am very proud of (he gets it naturally though I have never had a cavity) The rule in our house is the tooth fairy does not bring money or gifts if the tooth has a cavity, which seems to keep him in check, since he is really looking forward to loosing his first tooth and having a visit from the tooth fairy.

Since tooth care is so important to me, I was really excited when I received a Tooth Tool Kit to review.

The kit included 2 REACH kids tooth brushes and a bottle of LISTERINE Smart Rinse, which basically is a mouthwash that you use after you brush your teeth, not only does it freshen your teeth it also highlights the left over particles, so when the kids spit they can see all the ickies that they missed.

What is special about LISTERINE Smart Rinse?

1. It contains fluoride which strenghtens tooth enamel to help prevent cavities between dental cleanings

2. Kills bad breath bacteria

3. Engages kids in their oral care routine by visually identifying particles left behind after brushing

4. Tints food and bacteria particles that kids can visibly see in the sink after brushing- a post - brush tool parents can use to teach proper oral care technique ( look what you missed)
Helps develop good oral care habits at an early age


LISTERINE Smart Rinse comes in two yummy flavours Mint Shield and Berry Shield. ( 250ml and 500ml) It will soon be available at retail outlets across Canada for $3.99 and $5.99.

My experience with LISTERINE Smart Rinse:

My son and his friend Missy were very excited to receive the package. They quickly choose their tooth brushes which was easy since one was orange and one was pink. Missy quickly grabbed the pink one. They then were begging to brush their teeth. How often does that happen? Seriously! They first brushed their teeth with tooth paste and rinsed. After they used the mouth wash, there was colored particles in the sink, which was cool, the kids liked to see it. Their breath smelt very clean and pleasant which was nice.

I would suggest giving LISTERINE Smart Rinse a try.

Hot on the Range - Book Review

I had the great pleasure of reviewing the children's book, Hot on the Range written by R.D. Jentsch and illustrated by David C. Bryant. It is a beautifully illustrated story about a Paint horse named Chester and his quest to get cool on a hot Texas day. During the story we were introduced to some of Chester's farm friends - Willie the Palomino and Nan the goat. I read the book along with my 5 year old son Dodge, who loved the book, he thought the pictures were funny and he enjoyed trying to guess what Chester was going to do next. As a horse loving family, we especially enjoyed Chester. Hot on the Range is an easy reading children's book, that would appeal to boys or girls alike. It would make a great gift and is a cute little story to read with your kids. It has a recommended reading level of ages 4-8 and contains 36 pages of horse fun.

You can buy Hot on the Range on Amazon for $14.99 Here
