My Mouth is Happy!

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about trying out the new Crest Pro-Health Complete Rinse. It has been a while since I've been using this new mouth rinse at least twice a day after brushing my teeth and I can say, I really can feel a difference throughout the day!

I know that brushing alone is not enough to make my teeth cleaner and my breath fresher. The new Crest Pro-Health Complete Rinse not only cleans my teeth and freshens my breath, it also helps prevent cavities. I love that clean feeling lasts longer than most rinses. I love the taste of mint in my daily toothpaste and the new Crest Pro-Health Complete Rinse in Clean Mint makes my morning and evening routine complete!

Sam is a Pedigree Ambassador!!!

Our dog, Sam, is now doing product reviews!  He's a 210 lb. English Mastiff that is the sweetest dog and so good with our kids. He's one picky eater. He will not eat Food Lion dog food.

Apparently, it's super nasty.  Sam normally eats  Old Roy dog food from Walmart but one time we were in a pinch and hubby brought home Smart Option from Food Lion. He snubbed his nose at it.   

We’ve been happy with Ol' Roy, but got this opportunity to try out Pedigree and Sam isn't complaining!

We slowly transitioned Sam to the new dog food. Apparently he thinks this stuff is the best think since sliced bread. He gets super excited to eat and can't wait till we have filled the bowl to start eating.

At the start of the program I was asked to assess my dog on 4 universal needs.

• skin and coat – I would say both are average. 
• oral care – Sam has average teeth. I don’t see any problems, but they are also not pearly white either.  I probably should brush his teeth like the vet recommended.
• digestion – Sam  has no problems in that area.
• immunity – I'd say he's pretty healthy. We haven't had any issues health wise

Some how my daughter and husband ended up taking a bath too!

Because Sam is so large he is prone to hip displasia and joint problems as he gets older. The pedigree dogfood he is trying out has glucosimine in it. I have noticed that Sam does a lot of grunting while he's trying to heft all 210 lbs up off the floor. I hope the glucosimine helps his joints.

I will keep you updated on the progress.  For more information, check out Pedigree.com,

Family Picture Time

A few weeks ago we were asked to send a picture of our family to my Grandmother who has never met two of our kids .  This was for her 93 birthday. Happy Birthday Grandma!! The deadline was NOW and so we had no time to prepare.

This is what I had to work with. 

Silly Boys who couldn't seem to sit still long enough with their shirts down and tongues in their mouths. *sigh*. Little Monkey (on the right) absolutely hates having his picture taken so to him this was torture followed by some screaming and yelling on his part. Oh the life of having a child with Autism.

Once they realized this was happening whether they wanted it to or not (we bribed them with popcorn after dinner), they both let out a huge sigh and cooperated (for two seconds). 

LM's pants were filthy from rolling down the hill on his knees and Tiger's clothes don't match but that's normal around here.
