It's been 28 days since we started the Listerine Smart Rinse Sweet Smart Challenge and what a difference 28 days can make. Getting my kids to brush was second only to potty training in frustration. Why would anyone want to go in a diaper instead of the toilet? Why would anyone want to walk around with grime on their teeth? I couldn't answer that question so
We are excited to be participating in the Listerine Smart Rinse Sweet Smart Challenge. Wow, what a mouthful! If you've read my blog for more than a year you might have read this little ditty about ex#2 accusing me of feeding our child epoxy. Don't worry, I didn't. We have a bit of a tartar problem. That's the royal 'we', I don't have a problem
Last week my daughter had to have 5 teeth removed. Apparently there is a little crowding going on and because she won't let her baby teeth fall out we had to have some of them removed. This is a video of the nurse (who was wonderful) prepping her for the surgery. Because Maddie is a little nervous about needles we decided that a little laughing
Yep, we are up to the challenge. Metro Dentalcare is challenging Minnesota families to brush their teeth twice a day for two minutes each day.

Some of you might remember back in April I wrote about the tooth that would not come out. Eventually it did come out and we celebrated the event. She lost another tooth not too long after the first one and it was a complete non issue. She was a pro at losing teeth. And that was it for a while. Her two top teeth were
My daughter lost her second tooth yesterday. It was not even remotely close to the drama we had with the first tooth in fact I didn't even know it was loose. She lost the tooth on her dad's watch but apparently she was inspired by her friend who just rips her loose teeth out. Daughter wedged a toothpick between her tooth and gum
It finally happened, after months and months of agony, the tooth finally let go and fell out. I'm so proud, I feel as if my daughter just graduated from medical school or passed the bar. I still can't believe it actually happened. I was beginning to think the tooth had regrown roots and was forever going to be part of her. It all happened so
No, not President Obama's first 100 days. It's been 100 days of the tooth. The tooth has still not fallen out. When it was first noticed that the tooth was loose it was exciting. We talked of the Tooth Fairy and money under the pillow. We talked about growing up. Which is, I think, were we lost her. The girl does not want to grow
A while back I mentioned that my daughter had a loose tooth. Her first loose tooth. I was somewhat emotional about the idea that my baby was growing up. Getting her real teeth was just a reminder to me that they don't stay young forever and I needed to enjoy what little time I had with her while she was young (before she
Redhead Ranting is the rantings of a frazzled, twice divorced mother of two who freelances and cares for two stupid dogs while writing her memoir against incredible and unbelievable odds (but will make a wonderful book one day).
