Mom Reviews

I know that I am not the only one that notices everyone else teeth when you are conducting a conversation right? I have always been obsessed with looking at people’s smile and their teeth. I believe one reason is because my teeth are far from perfect. I was born with a crooked jaw and actually none of my teeth align with each other. I have TMJ and really need the jaw surgery but who has $40,000 to drop just like that? So, I obsess about my teeth and everyone else in the country. I have had my teeth professionally whiten two times. The last time was about 2 years ago, so I am definitely up for a teeth whitening experience. I paid $300 the first time and $150 the second time. It can get expensive, but the money is worth it so you can achieve that million dollar smile. Or maybe there is a way to cut cost?

Last week, I was sent the new Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips. After just ONE 2 hour treatment, tooth stains are removed below the tooth’s surface, allowing your smile to be in tip-top shape for any of life’s spontaneous moments!

If you had a big speaking engagement coming up, your highschool reunion, family reunion or a hot date with your hubby, you could whiten your teeth in just two hours. BUT, does it really work? We see the commercials and we see the advertisements, but we don’t always know if they are telling the truth. The time is on and I will be whitening my teeth tomorrow for a family homecoming at church Sunday. Here is my before picture so you will see, my teeth unfortunately need whitening. Can Crest do the job?

I will be back Monday to give you the full results with a side by side picture to see if Crest held up it’s end of the bargain. Let the whitening begin!

I am so excited to be co-hosting the Kellogg Virtual Breakfast with 9 other bloggers and The Motherhood.

What: You’re invited to a Kellogg virtual breakfast to discuss key findings from Kellogg’s Breakfast in America Survey, along with morning routines and ways to improve breakfast nutrition. While most Americans feel breakfast is important, the reality of hectic mornings makes it difficult to fit the meal in every day, according to data from the survey. Learn how to reverse the trend of endangered breakfasts and incorporate good nutrition into your morning routine.

When: The virtual breakfast is happening on Thursday, September 8, at 11 a.m. ET.

Where: In TheMotherhood – http://www.themotherhood.com/talk/show/id/62256

Who: Join Dr. Laura Jana, Kellogg Breakfast Council member, and Sarah Woodside, MS, RD, and Nutrition Business Partner at Kellogg, to talk about the survey data, morning routines and breakfast nutrition for a great start to every day. Sarah and Dr. Jana will speak to us via live streaming video, while we chat and ask questions through a real-time, text-based conversation.

I hope to see you all there. Our hashtag is #LoveURCereal

While you are celebrating Labor Day weekend with our budget friendly ideas, I have another fun family activity for you that is FREE. P&G and Wal-Mart is back with another awesome family movie night – Game Time: Tackling The Past. The movie will premiere tomorrow night September 3, 2011 on NBC at 8pm ET/7pm CT. As you know, I am a huge fan of the family move nights that P&G put on because they are movies they whole family will enjoy and you do not have to worry about having to hurry and fast forward and cover your child’s eyes.

Let’s take a short preview into tomorrow night’s movie. Click on the picture below for the preview to play.

This move is all about getting ahead of your raising. Pro football star Jake leaves his city and friends behind to go live out his dream. Now, I am all for going for your dreams, but please never forget where you come from. Never forget your friends and family that always supported you. Jake is served some real blows in this movie and he has to really make the right decisions. I loved watching it with my girls as it teaches them that even though we should achieve for a better life, we will always need our family and friends around us. Children today need to see more morals and values in our life and not just make your dreams all about money. P&G and Wal-Mart do a great job in this movie.

Put the popcorn on and pull out the blankets. Cuddle with your family on the couch tomorrow night and enjoy family movie night. You will be glad you did!

Make sure to “like” Family Movie Night on Facebook so you can stay up to date when they release the next one. Enjoy!
