Celebrating the Loss of The First Tooth

So yesterday (1/24/2017) I posted my thoughts on the tooth fairy, and here we are less than 24 hours later, my oldest child finally lost her wiggly tooth around 12-1 pm in the afternoon after taking a bite of an apple.

I also had just posted asking how other mamas celebrate the loss of a first tooth when you are in between tooth fairy and celebrating. I didn’t get a chance to receive much feedback as my husband, and I needed to plan what we were going to do for this new milestone. Our final thoughts were there is no harm in celebrating and having a little fun with it. However, the focus would primarily be on promoting health and healthy habits, whenever possible. 


So I rushed to the store (Wal-Mart) that very night to surprise my daughter with whatever I could find. I also snagged an extra tube of toothpaste, as a small sibling gift to help avoid jealousy with my toddler.
Gifts to promote healthy habits:
- Dental Picks Holder for Kids
- Kid Tooth Paste
- Mouth Wash
I also found cute lost your tooth/tooth fairy related tooth receipts to pair with the tradition of receiving money. The free printable I used was from the website, Capturing Joy with Kristen Duke (www.KristenDukePhotography.com). The link to the tooth receipt is here. 

Tooth Fairy Part:
- Tooth Receipt 
- Dollar 

The timing of the losing teeth is perfect. It's perfect because I actually requested as a Christmas gift for my older kids to get these nifty toothbrush sets (Brusheez). These kid-friendly brushes are battery powered and come with its own stand, sand timer, toothbrush with cap, tumbler, an extra toothbrush head and place for an extra toothbrush head. I felt the dental accessories of mouthwash and dental picks holder complemented the toothbrush kits well. Almost as if I had purchased them together. If you like what you saw in my photos, I've added a list below.

To Get These Accessories:
- Firefly Hello Kitty Mouth Wash (Walmart)
- Plackers Flosser Friend (Walmart)
- Brusheez Tooth Brush Sets (Amazon)
- Lipper Bamboo Over The Sink Shelf (Amazon)
- Wooden Plaque with Mason Jars (Target)

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test (Blue Dye)

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test  with Blue Dye (+ / - ) This is what a negative looks like: Side Note: Blue dyes are often said to more frequently give false positives than pink dye. Some online boards that will tweak (alter) a pregnancy test photo to help individuals identify if the test is a faint positive or indeed negative, often will not do blue dyes.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

  My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

I am not being paid to promote any of them and do not receive payments. Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect. It keeps the incision area clean without stinging or irritating my skin, which is such a relief.  2. Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...
