Tooth Fairy Tip

Tonight as I was playing tooth fairy, I realized I had a few tips to share.

My daughter leaves her tooth under her pillow in a sock the same way I did when I was young. The best thing I figured out was to make sure to sneak the matching sock out of her room. Then I can place the money in the sock at my leisure and simply swap socks in her room.

The one time I forgot to grab the sock, she woke up as I was finishing replacing the sock. Now I am more careful.

After the tooth fairy forgot to come less than two weeks ago, I wanted to make sure I didn't forget again. As soon as she was in bed I placed money in the sock and put it in the case for my glasses so I would see it when I removed my contacts at bedtime. Other ideas are placing it with medicine or your toothbrush.

P.S. Now my daughter can sing "All I want for Christmas is my one front tooth". This is her second list front tooth. She lost the other one over the summer and the tooth has mostly grown in.

Rise of the Guardians Lowe's Build & Grow Projects

Lowe's typically runs FREE Build and Grow workshops for kids twice a month. The events are FREE and include the craft, an apron to take home, a workshop patch, safety goggles, and a completion certificate. There are a limited number of slots per store, so be sure to pre-register as soon as you can.

I brought my daughter to a Build and Grow workshop this spring and she really enjoyed it. My only complaint with the workshop is that they are very popular at the Lowe's closest to my home because they always seem to fill up very quickly.

On Saturday, November 17 and Saturday, December 1 they will feature crafts from the upcoming Dreamworks movie Rise of the Guardians.

The craft on Saturday, November 17 will feature North's Sleigh. The December 1 craft will features Sandman's Plane. I recommend registering as soon as possible to reserve your slot.

In the meantime, learn more about the movie with the trailer below:
