PowerUp your Smile with Philips Sonicare

As some of you probably know by now, I am SUPER scared of the dentist. I mean knock me out for a cleaning scared. Thank goodness I have always been really lucky with my teeth and hardly EVER had cavities growing up, I never needed braces and my teeth have always been pretty white. Then why am I so terrified of the dentist? Well, I had a REALLY bad experience when I was a kid and have been traumatized since. I try everything in my power to prolong the time between seeing the dentist.

When I started having kids, everything went downhill as far as my teeth were concerned. As you can imagine, when I was told I had 7 cavities at my last check up in April, it was a bit of a shock! I cried. Yep, I totally did. After I had half of the cavities filled, I went in for a cleaning. The hygienist was SO nice and pointed out a few of her favorite products. She pointed out a few Sonicare items they had for sale in office but told me any electric toothbrush would do fine for my needs.

Since I can't afford a Sonicare toothbrush, I took her information and left the office. A few weeks ago, I heard about a new toothbrush from Philips Sonicare that I COULD afford! I headed out to Walmart to see what the hubbub was all about. I quickly found the display and at under $20, quickly put a Sonicare PowerUp in my cart!

I was hesitant to try it at first because my teeth are pretty sensitive. The brush I was using was a super soft manual brush. I was only able to find a medium brush and was worried it might be too stiff for my teeth. It wasn't at all! Since I am so used to using a manual toothbrush, it did take me a few days to get used to the vibration of the electric toothbrush but, it wasn't a big deal.

Because you get a month's worth of brush strokes in just one day with the Philips Sonicare PowerUp toothbrush, I know my hygienist is going to be super impressed at my next check up! Oh, and just what do I plan to do with my old manual toothbrush? Well, use it for cleaning of course!

Strawberries and Cream Instant Oatmeal | Recipe

I don't know about you but, we go through oatmeal like that is the only thing to eat on this planet! Seriously a TON! My youngest would eat it for every meal and snack....every day....if I let her. Yes, the little packs can be cheap (if you can find a coupon and get them on sale) but it still adds up. I used things I already had on hand so there was no extra cost to make this. FREE is ALWAYS good! I tried before to make little packets to keep on hand but that was a complete fail. I have since reworked the recipe and am happy with the results. I decided to just keep the oatmeal in a glass container this time and scoop out what we need, when we need it. You can also make this into packets by just scooping the desired amount into zip-top bags. {Strawberries & Cream Instant Oatmeal} 12 Servings 6 Cups Quick Cook Oats 1 1/2 Cups Oat Powder 2 Cups Powdered Milk 1 - 1 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Freeze Dried Strawberries Directions f

Granny's Flitters

I love my family! There are so many things I love about each person and also about all of us as a whole. One of the things I love about my family is we love traditions. Today I am going to share just one of the many traditions we have.....FLITTERS! To me when I think of comfort food, I think of Flitters. It was a special morning to wake up to the delicious smell of flitters frying in the morning. It is one smell that every time I smell I am brought right back to childhood and great memories. I am not really sure where the name "flitters" came from or if someone just made it up. I can tell you how it got started though! My Great, Great Uncle Orville's mom (Grandma Cook) baked bread. On the days she would make extra bread dough she would invite all of her grandkids over for a flitter night. She would make her bread and then the extra dough she would roll out, cut into strips and fry up for the kids to enjoy. That tradition was then passed to my
