Toothpaste

Toothpaste, a complicated mix of foaming ingredients and flavours. Well, as we discovered, maybe not.

After searching madly for a toothpaste recipe, we stumbled upon this one, which seemed simple enough, and that it might actually work.

After visiting locally owned shops (with customer service included; smiles, chocolates for the kids, etc...), we headed home to make a batch.

With the kids in tow, I set about mixing the ingredients, making sure the kids helped to measure and sniff the concoction. The peppermint was a tad strong for little miss M.

The real test came at the dreaded bedtime. Step 1: get it on the toothbrush... check. Step 2: in the mouth... check. Step 3: brush teeth... check. Step 4: smile and say "that was yummy Papa, can you keep making that forever!" Well not quite check, but close enough. 

Enjoy,

Cheers...
