WooBamboo! - The Best Toothbrush Name Ever!

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Have you ever thought about how many toothbrushes get thrown away each year?  Yeah, me neither, but apparently the number is over 2 BILLION!  Which is actually pretty low considering the 6 billion people in the world, and recommendations that toothbrushes be replaced every three months (which I don't do and I guess neither does most of the world...)  A toothbrush is small, but 2 billion toothbrushes is a lot to put in a landfill.


Enter WooBamboo!  The exclamation point is in the product title, which makes me happy because I love punctuation.  I may not use it accurately, but I love it.  WooBamboo! is a toothbrush made of Bamboo.  Well the handle is made of bamboo, the bristles are made of nylon.  Bamboo bristles would probably suck.

So the toothbrush is ecologically sound, but does it brush well?

The answer is yes.  I will be honest, it feels really weird to be brushing your teeth with wood.  I was a little nervous I would get splinters in my lips, even though I knew I wouldn't.  The toothbrush doesn't have any little rubber bristles, which I am pretty accustomed to now, but probably are not very eco-friendly.  All in all, its like a toothbrush.  I am not really very particular about toothbrushes, if they scrub my teeth I am happy.

You can buy a WooBamboo! toothbrush online by clicking on the link.  They cost $4.95.

You can follow them on Twitter and Facebook.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Manipulatives Monday GIVEAWAY from Mother Goose Time - closed

Giveaway closed! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I really appreciate it! I have excellent news!  Today is Manipulatives Monday, and Mother Goose Time  is giving away a great prize!  One lucky winner will receive TWO bags of manipulatives!  Mother Goose Time will chose the prizes, but I assure you, whatever they send will be a lot of fun for your children! Manipulatives are a big hit in our house.  Every month we get two new bags of manipulatives, and every month Little Guy asks if he can play with them before the month starts.  The answer is always no, but he tries every month anyways.  During the month we use them for the assigned activities but after we are done with the curriculum, I let him add them to his toy collection. One thing that is in almost every box is a set of counters.  These are often in the shape of animals, which are Little Guy's favorites.  They are used for a variety of activities, and are alwa...

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene.  Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through!  She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birt...
