Nanny to Mommy

I have just been introduced to an awesome company called Picket Fence. Picket Fence is a small online boutique who carry popular kids lines, housewares / gifts, and some women's apparel and accessories. Items sell out quick and there is always something different, but I thought I would share some unique ideas with you to get your child, niece, nephew, or grandchild in your life this holiday season.

The place with the funny name has everything you need (and even things you don't) for gifts this holiday season. I have loved including products from them in my Holiday Gift Guide each year. They make quality products that are built to last plus I have such a hard time choosing just one item I would like!

I have spoken about my dental issues before. I drink a lot of coffee and enjoy the occasional glass of red wine, so on top of my periodontal disease, I have quite a bit of stains. I have also been having issues with my regular dentist. I honestly had a ton of anxiety every time I would go because the pain after a terrible extraction. And then it got to the point where it had been over two years and I still hadn't gone back. When I finally did go back, that's when I had periodontal disease. Besides a special mouthwash, it was recommended that I get an electric toothbrush. Since I have pockets and was having issues getting my back teeth with a manual brush, my dentist had recommended an electric toothbrush for a while.

I put off getting an electric toothbrush for myself (my husband had one) for so long because I really didn't want to spend all that money and I didn't believe it would really make a difference. You might remember that I worked with Smile Brilliant on their infamous at-home teeth whitening system a few months back. So when I received the opportunity to test out their cariPRO electric toothbrush, I was skeptical and intrigued because I have tried other electric toothbrushes before. I honestly was thinking this one was cool and it would be better than a manual, but how could it be any different as other electric toothbrushes out there?

While I love decorating and gift giving, I want my children to know the true meaning of Christmas. Today is #GivingTuesday and what better day than to share how you can teach your children about the true meaning of Christmas.
