The Best $10 I EVER Spent!!

I have really great kids! Honestly, they are all responsible and so good to keep things tidy.

They have daily chores that they complete that keeps their area of the house looking nice and clean.

One thing they really struggle with, however, is TOOTHPASTE!! I come in to their bathroom and the entire counter and sink are covered in toothpaste. It's on the walls, it's on the cabinets, it's on the towels, it's on the doors. It's EVERYWHERE!! I'll call them back in to remind them to clean up after brushing their teeth, but it never fails that EACH time I come in after brushing it's the same!!

UNTIL LAST WEEKEND!!

Scotty and I were brainstorming about how to keep the mess to a minimum when I came up with the idea that there should be an automatic toothpaste dispenser that the kids could use when pasting their toothbrushes that would keep them from making such a mess. I didn't think it was possible that there would actually be something to fit the bill that would be cheap enough to afford and easy enough to use for them, but we sat out on Saturday to find what we were looking for.

We were happy to find the "Touch N Brush" at our local WalMart for only $9.99!!

Our version came with 300 stickers(which I put into our sticker bin instead of on the unit because the kids can use them for other things and the dispenser will stay neat and clean looking suctioned to the bathroom mirror. It also came with an automatic toothbrush(which Manly took over).

 The BEST part!?! For the last week the bathroom is MESS FREE!! No toothpaste ANYWHERE!! The dispenser gives only a small amount of toothpaste, so it keeps the kids from making a mess and also keeps them from wasting a TON of toothpaste(which we were doing before.)!

 

Here is a video to get a better idea of how it works if you are interested.

SO glad to have found it for our kids!
