Be a Tooth Fairy Hero: Tom’s of Maine Dental Health Giveaway

January 14, 2013 by Momstart 20 Comments

Honestly, we haven’t had Tom’s of Maine toothpaste in our house for a while, and when we received some today my daughter was so excited she went straight to the bathroom to brush her teeth. I couldn’t believe it. She loves Tom’s of Maine toothpaste, they both do really. Tom’s of Maine has asked me to share their Be a Tooth Fairy Hero competition. The sweepstakes and thinking of the tooth fairy reminds me of when Zoe lost her first tooth last year, and how excited she gets every time she loses a tooth, so much so that she pulled her second tooth all on her own.

Her first tooth:

The first hole in her mouth:

As a proud mom I just had to share that story. Now for the sweepstakes, Tom’s of Maine is inviting parents to share their child’s artistic interpretation of the Tooth Fairy for a chance to be a hero at their school and help smiles in need!

Green Tip: Buy Chemical Free Products This Year, Here’s Our Chemical Free Product List

December 31, 2010 by Momstart 5 Comments

This marks the last green tip from Summer in our 31 days of Red and Green here on Mom Start. Hopefully Summer will grace us with many more green tips and steps on making our lives more eco friendly in the future. Her last tip is about buying chemical free products and these are her chemical free product selections.

Are you ready to begin the New Year? Moreover, is your house ready for the New Year? Try and make yourself greener in the New Year by purchasing products not tested on animals and chemical-free. It is ok to start off with small changes in your toiletries. You know, small changes like in your shampoo, conditioner, make-up, lotions, toothpaste, etc. are a great place to start. I’ll share with you some of my favorite chemical free products:

Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Wash – Trader Joe’s Refresh (for about $2 a bottle it’s a steal)

Lotions – St. Ives lotion

Deodorant – Arm & Hammer Essentials Natural Deodorant and Tom’s of Maine (make sure there’s no antiperspirant and that it’s aluminum free)

Lip Balm (and Other Beauty Products) – Burt’s Bees Lip Balm

Diaper Cream – Burt’s Bees Diaper Cream

Toothpaste – Tom’s of Maine

In finding and using products like these I feel good about my body and the environment. If needed, take little steps to introduce products such as these into your home. These are products I actually use and love. Be sure, as with any new product, that you test new products on a small area of skin if you have sensitive skin or believe you may have a reaction on a product.

Thank you for joining me in my red and GREEN December 2010 adventures! Hope I gave you some great ideas that made you and yours healthier and happier. Happy New Year!

Tom’s of Maine Natural Toothpaste Review and Giveaway

December 23, 2009 by Momstart 183 Comments

I have quite a few troubles getting my kids to brush my teeth. In attempt to find ways to make brushing more enjoyable, I asked my MOMS Club about their brushing techniques. Switching to Tom’s of Maine was one of the suggestions sent to me.

Tom’s of Maine has a natural toothpaste for kids in Silly Strawberry flavor. So it’s a fun flavor that kids can use because it doesn’t have any fluoride. They use calcium and silica to gently clean the teeth, and the delicious real fruit flavor has even me wanting to use it.

Tom’s of Maine sent me a tube of the children’s anticavity with Fluoride. I think they meant to send me the one without fluoride so I could use it with my kids, but it’s only 2.95 and I’ve seen coupons for it so you can get it even cheaper. It’s good to use. As I said, I like the taste, my kids like the taste.

Now Tom’s of Maine has made a suggestion to me. They said that I should create a silly routine for my kids to brush their teeth to. I never thought of that, and I did a search online and I found that my friend Felicia at Go Graham Go has a great silly brushing technique.

That’s how you can enter this giveaway!

Giveaway:

- Prize is a full-size 4 Oz. tube of Silly Strawberry Toothpaste

- Five winners
