Help prevent tooth decay and start making healthy habits fun!


Kasey Soll Pitillo, a mother of three and 13-year dental industry veteran, recently launched a new dental company called Happy Teethâ„¢ which includes a line of natural baby dental products made just for your baby to help prevent tooth decay. As a mom, Kasey knows how important it is to protect your baby from hidden, harmful additives. That’s why she carefully selected all of the ingredients in Happy Teeth natural baby toothpaste as well as made a conscious decision about which ones to leave out. No harsh abrasives, artificial preservatives, flavors or colors and it has Xylitol, an all-natural sweetener proven to help prevent cavities.

Your Jr. Chef can make Mashed-Potato Cakes


For breakfast with a poached egg on top or for dinner with a dollop of sour cream. To leftover mashed potatoes, mix in shredded white cheddar, sliced scallions, minced garlic, egg, flour. Place 3″ patties in a hot frying pan, cook undisturbed for 4-5 min, and flip. Who doesn’t like a satisfying potato cake with crisp exterior and creamy cheesy center? Parental supervision.

If It’s Not A Hell Yes, It’s A Hell No! (for busy moms)
You and I are old enough to know what we want and what we do not want. By now we also know who we are and who we are not. We definitely have a handle on what makes us happy and what gives us a knot in the stomach. And, we can identify the people we enjoy spending time with as opposed to those who make us wish we were getting our annual pap smear instead of sitting down for a visit or a cup of coffee. https://jameetenzer.com/making-good-decisions/
