Dental Chew Balls for Dogs
I admit it; I'm a horrible pet owner. I have two 9 year old labs, and, before today, I'd never brushed their teeth. The ASPCA suggests providing "hard, safe chew toys that allow your dog’s teeth to be cleaned by the natural process of chewing."
This week, we received two Nutri-Vet Dental Chew Balls from Best Pet Health. The dental chew balls help clean teeth, condition gums, and reduce bad breath. Our labs loved the balls. They're made from a flexible, durable rubber, are covered with bristles, Denta-Knobbies(TM), to help remove food debris, and have small holes where you can apply the doggie toothpaste that comes with the balls.
Initially, as you can see in the video below, I put too much of the toothpaste in the holes. You really only need a small amount. I was pleased to discover the balls will be great for adding other treats as well (peanut butter, cheese whiz, cream cheese, etc.), because they're much easier to clean than other similar toys.
This is a great alternative to using a doggie toothbrush!
50% off the Chew-Balls (large or small). The code is CHWBLL50
They ship to USA for $5.95. If someone orders $45 or more the shipping is on them!
TruKid Healthy Kid product Giveaway & Review
I was lucky enough to be able to review TruKid natural products. I received a Face & Body lotion, Bubble Body Wash, and Sunny Days Face and Body Stick.
My girls aren't like a lot of kids, they love baths but after receiving the body wash they down right harass me to take a bath. I asked they how they liked it and they said they loved it. The smell makes they happy. After their baths they rubbed down the the lotion. It also has a very uplifting scent. The Sunny Days Face and Body stick is my favorite. With summer practically here we are outside A LOT and I'm constantly putting sunscreen on them. This is very thick and water resistant. I didn't have to put it on nearly as much as other sunscreens I've used. The girls say it smells like sunshine!
I love that the products are natural, non-toxic and safe for them. They are FREE of Parabens, Phthalates, Gluten, BPA, SLS, 1-4 Dioxzane and Fragrances.
Trukid has a ton of fun things on their website to encourage children with healthy habits. They have downloadable charts , fun songs, and thekids can become honorary Trukid Team Members. (My girls thought that was the coolest!!
Now my girls are already putting together their next order. We're thinking more lotion, some hair detangler, and have to get the sunscreen. If it's anything like the sunny days stick it will be awesome!
Trukid is offering followers of Time 4 Mommy a generous discount of FREE SHIPPING on orders of $35 of More. Use coupon code Happymom

To Be Sung Review and Book Giveaway
To Be Sung Underwater by Tom McNeal
Judith Whitman always believed in the kind of love that "picks you up in Akron and sets you down in Rio." Long ago, she once experienced that love. Willy Blunt was a carpenter with a dry wit and a steadfast sense of honor. Marrying him seemed like a natural thing to promise. But Willy Blunt was not a person you could pick up in Nebraska and transport to Stanford. When Judith left home, she didn't look back.
Twenty years later, Judith's marriage is hazy with secrets. In her hand is what may be the phone number for the man who believed she meant it when she said she loved him. If she called, what would he say?
TO BE SUNG UNDERWATER is the epic love story of a woman trying to remember, and the man who could not even begin to forget.

Pretty Little Liars, Taboo Romance
He's really hot, it's taboo, and it's just really sweet. They've had their ups and downs and they have to be sneaky but that is exciting. Did I mention Ezra is really hot? I've always rooted for them since their first looks in the very first episode.
I have been hired by Warner Bros. WBWord division to promote Pretty Little Liars: The Complete First Season on DVD.

What Does Your Web History Say About You?
I was looking at my web history today, trying to find a website I'd visited recently, when it dawned on me that your web history really says a lot about who you are. So, I'm going to share with you the last 10 websites I've visited, and I'd love to see what you've visited too! Either comment below with the last 10 websites, or write a post of your own, and link to it in the comment section.
Weightloss Wars - This is a cool website I've never seen before today. It's free, and there are competitions and challenges you can join. I've saved it in my favorites, and will definitely be checking it out again.
www.Optimization-World.com - Nothing exciting going on here. I was just looking for VGA cables.
Time4Mommy - My absolutely favorite place to sit back, relax, and connect with other moms, and get the scoop on great deals, freebies, and good books. ;-)
Gmail - Checking out my mail. I love Gmail. I even download my Yahoo mail to Gmail. Gmail actually showed up in my history a few times in between the following sites (I was clicking to the sites from my email), but I'm only listing it once.)
Flickr - Was checking out photos of an item that was for sale locally. I'm not even sure why I looked at it. It was a fish aquarium. I'm not interested in buying a fish aquarium, but there was a link, and I clicked it.
Yahoo Groups - Reading posts from a local Yahoo Group
Tricia Rizzi, Stella & Dot Facebook Page - They posted on Time4Mommy's Facebook page
5MinutesForMom - Was checking to see if they added Time4Mommy to their Mom Sites yet.
Woman Tribune - Again... checking to see if they added Time4Mommy to their Mom Sites yet.
Google Docs - I was accessing a spreadsheet that contains a list of websites that I either have or will be contacting to work with Time4Mommy.
So, come on... your turn to share.

Because Babies Grow Up: The Truth About Toddlers
 |
| By Dave Buchwald (Own work) [CC-BY-SA-3.0 or GFDL], via Wikimedia Commons |
Having a toddler around can be very trying on your patience, creativity and ingenuity. There is so much going on in that little body that it often gets the best of them and us as we try to work through our daily routine. Here are three things to keep in mind that will help you keep your sanity.
Toddlers love repetition.
Repetition is a great learning tool for adults and toddlers. The difference is that adults get bored with repetition long before toddlers do.
I watched my friend’s little boy just a few days before he turned two. For the couple hours he was at my house we had the same conversation a few dozen times. It went something along these lines,
Boy: “Where’s my daddy?”
Me: “At work.”
Boy: “Light?”
Me: “Yes, that’s a light.”
Boy: “Where’s my mommy?”
Me: “Studying.”
Boy: “She go the van?”
Me: “Yes, she left in the van.”
And repeat.
At first I thought I wasn’t understanding him. Then I thought he didn’t understand me. Then I realized it was a game for him. He wanted to interact with me but his abilities are still limited so he engaged me the best he could. This exchange built his confidence with the language and his turn taking skills which are both an important part of communicating.
Toddlers hate sharing.
From birth babies love faces. They are wired for human interaction. They smile and coo and win us over. Then they start reaching for things, like our mouths and hair and we think their interaction is just so cute.
Then they discover the independence of walking. They wander off and play by themselves. They are almost hostile anytime another kid comes over to play. It’s hard to see our sweet, interactive babies turn into individualistic toddlers. But that’s part of their development.
It’s important for toddlers to learn to play by themselves. They need the security of knowing mom or someone is close by and the freedom of having full control of their play experience. This is crucial for their ability to learn to play with other children. While we want to encourage sharing and playing nice, we also need to recognize their stage and accept that they need this time to learn to play alone.
Toddlers have intense emotional experiences.
With all this learning, discovery and freedom comes a whole new depth of emotional reactions to their experiences. So much learning and growth takes place in such a short amount of time that they are easily overextended and react with meltdowns.
When the meltdown comes we need to really hear what’s at the root of the emotion and help our toddler to know we’ve heard it and that we care. What is silly and insignificant to us, through our long-term perspective, is devastating and life-altering to our little ones.
I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve sat on the grocery store floor with my child lamenting with her that we weren’t going to buy the toy or candy or whatever that day. Just as toddlers had to learn to control their muscles in order to crawl and walk, they need to learn to control their emotions so they can communicate and function.
Armed with these three truths about toddlers, you are ready to enjoy your little one in all the happy and not-so-happy moments.
