The Tooth Fairy Arrival

by Ashley Mullen Leave a Comment

We are at that age where teeth are starting to get loose, started to wiggle, getting ready to fall out. With all that, comes the questions about the tooth fairy and her impending arrival. How does she do it? What does she do?

Austin is still waiting on her first tooth actually fall out – please let her be in a different room than I, I’m not sure I’ll be able to stomach it, or listen to the whining I’m sure will ensue. Little sisters and little brothers are hoping to join the wiggling of teeth, Gauge states that he has a “loosie toothie”.

Fun Items and Keepsakes

Baby Tooth Album – Saving your little one’s baby teeth is definitely a personal decision. If you want to get them here is a way to do so.

I recently shared an article I had read (and shared on my Facebook page) about keeping your children’s baby teeth because they contain stem cells that you might want to check out.

I had one of these tooth fairy pillows when I was a child. Your child puts their tooth in the pocket, and the tooth fairy replaces it with money. Makes it a little easier than searching for a tooth under a pillow.

Since I recently took up crocheting, I tried my hand at making one. I think it turned out pretty good, I shared a picture of if on Instagram, Austin is over the moon excited about it, hoping to put it to good use soon.

Books to Read

We of course, had to find some tooth fairy books about the tooth fairy.

The Tooth Fairy Wars – This is such a cute book, I love that it isn’t the typical tooth fairy book. In fact, its about a boy doesn’t want the tooth fairy to come and take his tooth.

My Wobbly Tooth Must Not Ever Never Fall Out – This is a cute little book. All about one little girls journey to losing her first tooth, and then to actually losing it.

Here Comes the Tooth Fairy Cat – This is a long book in number of pages, but there aren’t a lot of words per page. But definitely more geared toward your older toothless kids.

Fancy Nancy and the Too-Loose Tooth – We happen to be Fancy Nancy fans. She reminds me of my Austin with her loose tooth, so impatient to lose her tooth, wiggling it with her tongue at all times.

Andrew’s Loose Tooth – Who doesn’t like Robert Munsch books? This is just too much fun to listen to and to read to your kids.

Berenstain Bears and the Tooth Fairy – I think everyone knows that I love Berenstain Bear books, no surprise that I found a Tooth Fairy one.

Arthur Tricks the Tooth Fairy – Even though little sisters can be really annoying, Arthur still loves her and wants her to experience the Tooth Fairy just as he has.

Do you have a tooth fairy tradition? Certain books that you read?

Itsy Owlphant Nursing Necklace

by Ashley Mullen Leave a Comment

I love supporting Canadian small businesses and I discovered a great Etsy and Facebook business. Isty Owlphants. Kelly, the owner of Itsy OwlPhants is an online store stocked with handmade all natural items such as my new nursing necklace. Her focus is on baby-wearing and nursing items to keep your wee babes busy little fingers out of your hair while you are wearing or feeding them.

She puts a lot of thought into her products, she specially wraps individual orders such as the one I received for this review.

Now, inside this beautiful wrapping was a much lovelier necklace. Beautiful colors, beautiful work that is so detailed and perfect, Kelly certainly does amazing work.  She is also a big supporter of breastfeeding and baby-wearing families. As a nurse in a NICU she sees first hand the magic of breast milk and the how therapeutic kangaroo care is.

These necklaces are made of natural materials – wooden beads and cotton. Simplicity at the very best (in terms of materials) for your baby. While the work is anything but simple in the covering of the wooden beads and the cord.

The products are packaged to those buying more than one necklace. The pink nursing necklace doesn’t have a ring while the blue does, and in the ring is a crochet bead.

The popular style with babies are those with rings – and I can attest to this… Gauge loves to grab on to it! Once he’s got it, there is no letting go. One thing I really like is that with the ring he that he can grab onto he is about to get it to his mouth to chew on it – without chocking me out too much. 😉

She also makes and sells adorable owl nursing necklaces that you can find in her Etsy shop along with the styles that I am giving away and the one I reviewed, and more. Make sure to stop by her Facebook page and see what is happening right now. {Plus she has a discount code happening right now too!} Head over and like her page today! I’ll hang here and wait while you like it…

Disclaimer: I received a necklace for the purpose of the review, I will not be compensated for the review nor giveaway. My opinions are 100% honest and my own.
