As a busy family of 5 I have to be sure we keep a schedule and that we eat have our routines. It helps our family function much better when we end the day together in a positive way. Some nights our nightly routine can take two hours, between family time, reading, bathing and brushing now that school is in full swing I’ve had to come up with some easy ways to simplify our nightly routine.
5 Easy Ways To Simplify Your Nightly Routine
- Make brushing fun – ARM & HAMMER™ Tooth Tunes™ are such a great way to have fun with your kiddos while they brush. Each tooth brush features two minutes of the hottest songs. My kiddos are finally eager to brush for the full two minutes because they enjoy dancing and having fun while brushing.
- Use bath time as family time – When we have more time I like to spend time with my girls. During busy school nights it’s hard t fit in that time so we use bath time as a way to chat and have fun. While they bathe I may read them a book, anything to help speed the process along. HA! (kidding….kind of)
- Use your time wisely – While the kiddos get dressed take off your makeup and moisturize. I like to sneak away while they’re in the bath to do this too.
- Whiten while your brush – If you’re like me you spend an hour a few nights a week making sure your pearly whites – stay white. It leaves my teeth often sensitive so the best way to help the sensitivity is with ARM & HAMMER™ Sensitive Toothpaste. Since it has the goodness of ARM & HAMMER™ I also whiten less because it’s right in my toothpaste. Which using a whitening toothpaste like ARM & HAMMER™ Sensitive Toothpaste helps combat daily stains on your teeth, like my beloved coffee!!
- Spend a little me time – Every busy mom needs to spend a little time on herself. Buy the best smelling candle you can and take a cool bath. The best way to simplify your life is to be happy and enjoy the moments you’re living. So treat yourself, you deserve it!
I really do enjoy the moments I spend with my girls. We enjoy dancing and singing and they really took to the ARM & HAMMER™ Tooth Tunes™. It’s such an easy way to end your day in a positive and fun way and my silly girls cant get enough!
ARM & HAMMER™ Tooth Tunes™, and Tooth Tunes™ Jr., features one of a kind Music in Your Mouth™ technology. This tooth brush streams the music right into the brush head allowing kids to hear the music while they brush and it really does work! You’ll see my girls dancing along while they brush and it’s really made brushing fun!
For smaller kiddos there’s the Tooth Tunes™ Jr. toothbrush which is designed for smaller hands, and perfect for kids between 3 and 6 years of age. Parents can feel good about the music their little ones are listening to because they feature songs from the kids group KIDZ BOP.
