Putting Our Best Smile Forward with Colgate Total Mouthwash #TotalSmile

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client.  All opinions are honest and are my own.

Recently, Mom and I made a trip to Target to shop for Colgate Total Mouthwash.  We had a great time dreaming about all the fun things we wanted to buy---who doesn't when visiting Target?  To see some great photos of our trip, visit my Google+ album.

Oral health is so important---I wish I would have taken better care of my teeth when I was younger.  It's really important to Jamie and I to make sure our kids develop good hygiene regiments while they're young.

From the time they're old enough to brush their own teeth, we begin teaching them the proper way to brush every tooth (front and back!) and to floss.  Now that we have some older kids in the house, we can start introducing mouthwash to them as well.

I have been buying Colgate Total toothpaste for years---it's always my go-to brand.  I appreciate that it does so many good things for our teeth, like fighting tartar and protecting against cavities and plaque.  It's whitening agents keep our teeth sparkling and the taste is not too harsh.

Michael was super excited to try out the new mouthwash.  He's getting into that stage where he is understanding the importance of personal care and hygiene.  I'm so glad he takes this seriously!  I had Spearmint and Peppermint flavors to choose from---he chose Peppermint.

I kept telling him, "don't swallow it!"  This is the, "Mom, I KNOW!" look.  He said he was surprised that it wasn't as harsh as he was expecting.  He declared it tasted just like a candy cane.  

Colgate Total Mouthwash has all the same germ-fighting components as the toothpaste we love, as well as the ability to protect our teeth even after eating and drinking!  It is an alcohol-free formula and it freshens breath too.  
Look at that healthy smile!  As a parent, there's so many good habits I want to instill in my kids.  Self-care is a very important one, both for their own personal health, and for the sake of their future social lives.  I might be young enough to remember my own nights of trying to sneak out of brushing, but I do want grandkids, after all!

Vintage Owl Locket with Martha Stewart Crafts™ Jewelry Program


When I learned about the opportunity to craft an awesome piece of jewelry with the new Martha Stewart Jewelry Program, I was absolutely thrilled!  I'd never created a piece of jewelry before and was really looking forward to playing with the package of supplies they sent me.  Thanks so much to Plaid® for the excellent box of goodies!


The inspiration for my Vintage Owl Locket came from this pair of earrings that belonged to my Grandma Betty.  I've always loved these and used to wear them when I was younger.  I wanted to give them a new place of prominence, though, in a jewelry piece that was closer to my current style.


Here are some neat supplies that were included in my product box.  I knew at once that I would be using that owl mold in my piece.  I definitely have a thing for owls!  I was excited to use the new epoxy clay, silicone tip brush, and handy silicone mat in the first step of my project.  See how the clay containers are divided?  It's important to mix equal parts of colored clay with white activator when using the epoxy clay.


I wanted a lighter shade of blue to create my owl cabochon, so I mixed some of the blue and some of the white (after mixing them separately with their own activators) to create a shade pretty close to the blue in the earrings.  An easier way to do this would be to make your custom color and then mix with an equal amount of activator.  This will keep it from drying out too fast.  


Using the silicone tip brush, I moved the clay into all the nooks and crannies of the silicone mold.  If you start at the center and work your way out to the sides, it will help to release any air bubbles that would keep your cabochon from molding properly.  After I made the blue owl, I put some white in the long leaf mold and let them set for 24 hours.  In the meantime, I worked on a different part of the necklace.


Since I had some extra clay after forming my owl, I decided to make my own special charm.  I formed it into a circle and used this wax tipped tool to place the blue rhinestones.  I absolutely LOVE this tool!  How many times have you dropped teeny tiny gems and beads when you were crafting?  This two-sided tool takes care of the problem!  It easily picks up the tiniest of rhinestones and allows you to place them right where you want them.  I know I will get a lot of use out of this!


I added a little setting to the top of the charm and then let it dry 24 hours.  I also used some enamel paint to add a little blue to these pretty pieces.  It took several days for the enamel to dry so I'm glad I started early.  I'm also glad I had this silicone mat to work on, because I could move it to a safe drying spot while I waited for everything to set.


More favorites of mine included the flat and round nose pliers.  Wow---how many times have I messed up my fingernails trying to open up a jump ring or clasp?  It was super simple with these well-made tools.  I also used them to easily rip the old earring clips off.  In the past I'd be twisting and pulling, back and forth, to remove them.  SO glad I have these tools now!


When my cabochon, charm, and enameled pieces were finished, the only thing left to do before designing the piece was to attach my owl to this neat locket setting.  Yes, it really does open!  I'm not sure yet what I want to do with the inside of it yet so, for now, I've painted the little circle inside white.  I'm sure I'll be inspired soon!  Anyway, I used jewelry glue to securely attach the owl to the front of the locket.


Once all my pieces were finished, I laid them out in a design that suited me and glued them together with the jewelry glue.  Finally, I strung some wire through it all, added some blue set rhinestones, and I was finished!  I've worn it out twice now and have had many nice compliments!

The Martha Stewart Jewelry line includes over 240 products just right for all levels of crafter.  Whether you want to make a gift for a friend or customize something for yourself, I'm sure you'll find the perfect mix of items to create you're own awesomely unique piece of jewelry.  


These products are available exclusively at Michaels craft stores all over the US.

The Privilege of Being in the Word

Photo links to a great article on this subject.  I encourage you to read it!

Sometimes I get so frustrated with myself.

Sometimes I feel like Paul when he says, "For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do." ~Romans 7:15.

Basically:  why can't I just get my act together and do what I'm supposed to be doing instead of doing stupid things that don't matter so much?

That's how I feel about how I've been spending some of my time lately.

Why do I choose to read other books or blogs when I've got God's Living Word sitting right here handy, waiting for me to pick it up and be fed?  Don't look so shocked---I know I'm not the only one

I talk to God all day long.  Prayer time is not a problem.  I talk to him in my head, I whisper little prayers as I go about my day---sometimes I even assign someone to watch the babies so I can go into my room and pray for something heavy on my heart.  I'm not really concerned about the relationship issue.

What I am concerned about is the growing issue.  I need good food to grow healthy and strong.  I need God's Holy Word to help shape and guide my actions and reactions.  Why do I choose almost anything to read over reading God's Word?

I wish I had some kind of encouraging answer to this question...but I don't.  What I do know is that reading the Bible is a privilege.  Did you know that only 1/3 of the world's languages have a Bible and, of those, only 6% have the entire Bible?

Are you into scary statistics?  How about this one:  a full 80% of Protestant's say they don't read the Bible daily.  Well, at least I'm not alone.

To be honest, I don't think reading the Bible every day is one's sure-fire ticket to Heaven.  I know that God knows I have a lot going on---He gave me 10 other people to look after 24/7.  I truly think He's ok with me foregoing my daily Bible study to crash into bed, now and then, after a super crazy day.

However, I can't help but feel His disappointment when I choose the writings of another over His own.  Before I indulge in another chapter of my novel tonight, I think I'll go be fed by the life-giving Word of God!

*Note:  while looking for a photo for this article, I came across another article on the subject.  She's a little more encouraging than me today---you should check it out!

Blessed at Home #4: My Favorite Homemaking Resources

Thank you for stopping by our 4th week of Blessed At Home.  We sure appreciate everyone who has visited and shared our articles on Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter. Please visit the Contributor Page to read more about this excellent ministry from some of your favorite homemaking bloggers.

Today's featured contributor is Mrs. Smith of Just A Country Girl:



Mrs. Smith, Just a Country Girl

Mrs. Smith lives out in the country with her 3 boys, husband, and a dog. Most of her time is spent homeschooling, taking care of the house, and raising her kids.  In her free time, she enjoys scrapbooking, knitting, sewing, jotting things in one of many Smash Books, reading, pen palling, gardening and just being outside in general.  She has a love for big trucks, and is even licensed to drive a tractor-trailer, if the need ever strikes.  She enjoys attending church with her family and strives to someday be a Proverbs 31 woman.


Today's topic is, My Favorite Homemaking Resources


Misty, Simply Helping Him

My number one blessing, throughout my lessons on homemaking, is my mom.  In her, I was able to see every day what it took, and what it meant, to be a homemaker.

Along the way there have been a few books that have encouraged/taught me as well.

In Created to be His Help  Meet (Debi Pearl), I found direction for my specific calling as my husband's help meet.

Through Jill Savage's book, No More Perfect Moms, I found peace and encouragement for being imperfectly perfect.

Grace, thanksgiving, and gifts abound in Ann Voskamp's book, One Thousand Gifts.

I know all too well that I am daily in need of grace, instruction and forgiveness.

I am very thankful for all the words, songs, and wisdom God sends my way. 




Mrs. Smith, Just a Country Girl

I've never really stopped to ponder just where I get my homemaking resources from.  The internet?  People I know?  Let's journey through this thought together, shall we?

Starting at the most obvious place, my mother has always been a homemaker.  She cooked, baked, cleaned, gardened, canned, sewed, farmed...you get the picture.  Growing up, she tried to teach me these things.  But I grew up with 2 older brothers, so all I wanted to do was the outside stuff with them.  Oh, I swept a lot of floors and washed  a lot of dishes; but I preferred to be in the garden, throwing (small) hay bales and all the other "boy" stuff.  I actually pulled so many weeds from the garden, I would dream of them at night!  Somehow as a teenager, I got the job of mowing the yard...we lived on a farm so it took about 4 hours to do it all.  I suppose because I was the youngest and both boys were out working elsewhere, I was the chosen one.  But I loved mowing.

So while my mom showed me how to be a homemaker, I can't say I really embraced it.  I hated sewing, and didn't much care for cooking.  I didn't even want children!

But, I did get married and have children, and then my heart changed.  Suddenly I wanted to cook (I always cleaned--I am a neat freak), and just recently decided to try sewing and knitting.  The Lord changed my heart gradually over time to do the things He wanted me to do--the things I swore I'd never do!

He directed me first to the book of Ephesians in the Bible, which is still my favorite book today.  I find so much packed into those 6 chapters.  How to love my husband and children, how to put on the armor of the Lord for my family and so on.  I love Ephesians 4:26 which says, "Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath".  What  a good verse to live by when you are trying to properly raise a family!  Of course there are many other places in the Bible that help me in my homemaking, but I just really find so much help and hope in Ephesians.

I guess the rest of my resources came from blogs.  :)  There are so many, many good Christian women blogging out there who have some wonderful advice.  I have found so many great things like this post that really opened my eyes and helped me see things I'm doing wrong or need to work on.  One of my all time favorite places to get my inspiration is here at Above Rubies. What awesome inspiration and testimonies here!  (You can even receive a free quarterly magazine, which is packed full of goodness.)  So many uplifting stories have inspired me from here--and I've even met some of my blogging friends through it!  I have learned much about patience and endurance after reading some of the wonderful testimonies here.

Finally, I guess my latest inspiration has come from Soule Mama, to help in my sewing and knitting adventure.  She has some great ideas and some wonderful books that I recommend.  I think her "outdoorsy" nature also intrigued me; as I am definitely an outdoors country girl.  :)  I love to see the way she interacts with her children and nature.

Sadly, I guess I haven't had a lot of "real life" resources.  I have an aunt who is helpful when I ask, but otherwise, I am kind of left on my own.  But, because of this, I hope to be an inspiration to another young mother someday.  Perhaps I can be the helper for her that I never had.  I do believe that blogging helps so many people.  So friends, may I say...keep on blogging!  :)



Kendra, Living in the Shoe

Honestly, it would be my precious mother.  Before I had even reached the double digits in years, she had taught me to sew, cook, garden, clean, preserve and can.  All through my teenage years, she kept building on the foundation she'd laid in those tender years.

If I have a question now, I go to my mother.  Although she lives 2,000 miles away, I will still call her up when I am unsure of something.  You'd think at almost 35 years of age that I wouldn't have to call Mama anymore!!  Not so.  I love and treasure her advice.  We don't always do things the same way - sometimes I love to find my own way of doing something.  But she is the first person I think of to call on almost any homemaking question.

I hope to someday hear my daughter say the same about me!!  






Kate, Teaching What Is Good

I am not an organized person by nature. What little organizational skills I possess have been gained the hard way - from lots of trial and (mostly) error. Along the way I have learned from others and I'm delighted to pass those resources on.

My Dad

I learned all of my cooking skills from my dad. He was a great cook: very creative and innovative with a heart to feed others. When I was very young, he only cooked Sunday breakfasts. As I got older and was able to learn, he began to teach me his many culinary treasures. I learned the joy of cooking from him and how not to be afraid to experiment. While I don't have his innate creativity, I can cook well and have the skills to go further (should I accept the mission). Thanks Dad!

Don Aslett

Many years ago I watched a video by Don Aslett teaching about cleaning and cleaning FAST! He was so funny but he cleaned so smart! Things that took me hours, he taught how to do in a matter of minutes. He taught that cleaning didn't have to consume my life. Of course, I haven't been the most faithful student, but I really have learned so much from his system.

The Fly Lady

When I first came across her site a number of years ago, I was very overwhelmed. Too much to see, too much to learn, too much to focus on. PLUS I hate wearing shoes!! :D But I slowly began to shut down everything else except for those baby steps. Her daily e-mails were a big blessing to me for awhile as she reminded me what needed to be done each day and that it WAS possible to get a handle on order in the home.

Proverbs 31

This is the passage of scripture that God has used most in my life. From teaching me the heart of womanhood, to the value of hard work and getting things done while the family is still asleep, I have come to see this woman from God's eyes. She isn't Super Woman, she is a woman in love: in love with the Lord (and desiring to honor Him) and in love with her family (and desiring to bless them). She is a woman with eyes looking ahead to the future and seeking where God would have her to go and how to prepare for the needs ahead. I confess that I don't have her physical stamina but my heart seeks to learn from her and let her strength and insight guide me.

401 Ways To Get Your Kids To Work At Home by Bonnie McCullough

I was given a copy of this book back in 1988 and it was a LIFE CHANGER! It taught me how to teach my children to clean and work and be responsible for their own mess. I began to teach my oldest, at age 2, how to clear her plate from the table, how to help me fold wash cloths and how to set the table. This book teaches age appropriate tasks for your children to learn, starting at age 2. It was one of the biggest blessings I ever got as a young mom!

I am still learning. I learn from the blogs I read, I learn from the things I see on Pinterest, I learn from things my friends posts on Facebook. I am a woman in progress; knowing my shortcomings, but blessed because there are so many others who have blazed trails down which I can travel and grow!  



Christy

When I was newly married, I found myself keeping house exactly the way my mother had taught me.  It worked; and I was, and still am, always proud of my homemaking skills. As time has gone by, the ways of homemaking have changed and I have learned of new ways to keep house, mostly from trial and error.

I get my motivation from my daughter, who has a large family and a clean and tidy home. Even though it is only my husband and myself here now, I still sometimes struggle to keep our house organized and running smoothly. I remind myself, if my busy daughter can accomplish this, then so can I!

Thank you, Mom and Sarah, for keeping me motivated, and thank you, God, for giving us women wisdom, understanding and knowledge.


"Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established;  by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches."  ~~Proverbs 24:3-4

Happy 5th Birthday, Pink Saturday!

Happy Birthday, Pink Saturday!

Today Beverly is celebrating my most favorite party in Bloggyland.  Pink Saturday is what really got me excited about blogging.  Thank you, Beverly, and all my Pinkie Friends, for 5 years of great inspiration!

To celebrate, I decided to feature a few of my favorite Pink Saturday posts from my archives.


This one was my very first Pink Saturday post.  I featured a "pink poem" that my Mom wrote about me.


Here's one I wrote while preparing for baby Kynthia to arrive!


This post featuring my Easel Card Tutorial has been a very popular one lately.  I wish I knew who has been sharing it as I'm getting tons of traffic to it and I'd like to thank whomever it is!

Please stop by Beverly's Pink Saturday and visit all the Pinkies!  Maybe you'll find it's a tradition you'd like to start each Saturday as well!
