Libby & I were reading a Junie B. Jones book recently in which Junie B. is preparing for the monumental event of LOSING A TOOTH.  Libby, as well, is getting ready to lose a tooth as well.  In the book, it’s her first one, but in our house, this will be her 3rd, so she’s a veteran of the whole thing.  I, as the resident Tooth Fairy, am also a veteran when it comes to the inevitable search for the tooth as it hides and evades beneath the pillow.  More than once, I’ve come close to waking up the child in question, but I’ve been lucky so far.  But with a whole mouth full of teeth from Libby AND Zachary to contend with in the future, I was THRILLED to learn about the Sorrisi Tooth Fairy pillow. 

What IS the Sorrisi Tooth Fairy Pillow, you ask?

The Sorrisi Tooth Fairy pillow is a pillow created and developed by an ingenious mom with the same problem.  She designed these tooth fairy pillows with a pocket perfect for holding that newly freed tooth – or lots of other fun treasures!  It also has a little draw string pouch attached for the resulting reward from said Tooth Fairy – or of course, any other rewards that happen to work for you!

The pillow itself is beautiful.  We received the Tropical Fish design and the colors and fabric are just beautiful, decorative, high quality and did I mention beautiful?

To be honest, this photo doesn’t do the workmanship and colors justice. The pillow measures 14” square, and the cover even zippers in the back of the pillow for easy cleaning.

There’s more behind this than just a company making tooth fairy pillows, though.

Sorrisi Décor has partnered with Medical Teams International, a Christian global health organization, to identify the regions with the greatest degree of need with the fewest resources, and we will be giving a full 50% of the Sorrisi profits to seeing teams of dental professionals sent to these areas to address their current most desperate needs.

The pillows come in a variety of designs – 14 of them, in fact! They sell for $39.95-$44.95, but as I said – 50% of that goes to help people in desperate need of dental help.

They’ve also added personalization, so you can add that soon to be “toothless wonder’s” name to their beautiful new pillow!

I’ve tried not to inundate my readers with a lot of information from my trip to BlogHer, but this is one of the things I learned about that I really wanted to share.

One of the green improvements that I was most looking forward to at BlogHer was their Filtrete water bottles. Because I drink water just about exclusively, that was the thing I NEEDED most.

In our BlogHer totes, we received a reusable, refillable Filtrete water bottle (which I  LOVE), and at various places around the conference were rows of filtered water stations for us to use as much as we needed.  They were constantly busy, I’ll tee you!  I used my Filtrete water bottle the whole weekend and the trip home.

In addition to the bottles, Filtrete also donated $5,000! to American Rivers on behalf of the BlogHer community.

They also displayed a great new system for those of us who use bottled water at home.  The Filtrete Water Station by 3M holds up to 4 water bottles and fills in seconds from your tap water.  I’d hoped to win one at the conference, but alas, I didn’t.  However, Filtrete has given me use of a $5 coupon for myself AND for the use of my readers!  Isn’t that awesome?

The Filtrete Water Station:

• Filters water directly from the tap into four, BPA-free reusable water bottles — they’re dishwasher safe and come with an attached top and handle
• Provides the convenience of bottled water without the cost and waste
• Helps reduce chlorine taste and odor and sediment
• Allows you to filter one, two, three or four bottles at the same time
• Saves up to 3,000 plastic bottles from ending up in landfills

Currently, we take our 1-gallon water bottles to a local store who offers water refills for $.32 a gallon, but it’s such a huge pain in the youknowwhat to lug them back and forth. With this system, we wouldn’t need to!
