Happy New Year! Since 2006, the new year always starts off with a "Bang" and lots of cake in our home! On January 2, 2006, our first son was born! Two years and 6 days later, our second son was born on January 8th! I have already made 3 birthday "treats" - a double layered cake for New Years' Day, an Oreo cookie dessert for January 2nd, and cupcakes for my son to share with his classmates today (January 3rd)! I am glad that there is a little break for the cake making...but there are at least 4 more cakes/desserts that I will be making. Yes, FOUR! If you want to know why there are four, here is your answer: one for our January 8th birthday, each son will have a birthday party later in January (so, that is 2 more) and then we will be celebrating the boys' birthdays with one set of grandparents on another day! That is a LOT of sugar!
When kids are eating SO MUCH SUGAR, you can't help but think about their teeth, and making sure that they brush! Crest and Oral-B recently sent me some toothbrushes, toothpaste and flossers for my kids to try out. Let me tell you, my kids are SO excited to get new, cool toothbrushes and I think that it also makes them want to brush their teeth.

1. Brush as quickly as you can after you eat. If you cannot brush right away, then be sure to rinse/swish your mouth out with water as soon as you are able to.
2. When choosing foods to serve at a party or a snack, fruit and cheese are better options than chips and crackers - which may stay in your teeth longer and lead to tooth decay.
