Popsicle Soothers


 Daughter L got these popsicle sticks for Baby C who is already teething.  They look like soothers and she will make breastmilk popsicles for him!

Tooth hygiene after arm injury

GUM soft picks

GUM comfort slide flossers

 

I had a problem flossing my teeth since my arm fracture although it is not my dominant arm.  Husband M introduced me to these GUM soft picks that do wonders for his gums and for the first 2 weeks I started using them. Then I worried that I still needed to floss between my teeth.  I found these GUM comfort slide flossers that go between tightly spaced teeth like mine.  Now I am all set!  I will continue using those soft picks even after I heal for ongoing gum health. M's dentist says his gums are amazing now.

One of my sisters told me 'I am so behind (the times)' so these products are nothing new!

Herbs and frost coming soon

 I have a tarragon plant and a couple of basil plants in my garden. The tarragon plant is a perennial so it survives the winter. Either way I am thinking of cutting these herbs back and btinging the stems inside to dry them somehow.  Maybe I will watch some youtube videos today and decide what to do.

Do you dry your own herbs?

Friday Art - Surgery cancelled and Niece with Horse



Well some good news everyone! The shoulder surgeon who happens to be the head of the department called me yesterday afternoon to say my shoulder did not warrant surgery!  I will have a follow up with her in a week or so to see when I can start physio and so on. I guess she was prepping for my case and came to this conclusion.  I am 100% happy.  I had seen a different surgeon who booked my surgery.

 Welcome to Friday Art!  This is my niece with her horse. -ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil

Thursday Art and Dinner Date - At Work theme and Banana chocolate flourless cake

I am having shoulder surgery set for tomorrow.  I will take a blog break for the next week hoping it goes well.

Welcome to Thursday Art and Dinner Date. Just leave me a comment with your link if you participated that day. Everyone can then see who participated.  This week's theme is 'At Work'.  Here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in acrylic and watercolour pencil.

September themes: At Work, Sunrise (Sep 11), Soup! (Sep 18),Beauty Salon (Sep 25).    




 For the Dinner Date, I made a Banana chocolate flourless cake using this recipe.  It was good, I love recipes that use cocoa powder, it gives it a real chocolate taste and has less fat than chocolate chips.
