A journey through the wild ride of being a first time mother

You can read every book on the shelf about being a parent and what to expect with your new baby, but the only true preparation is experiencing it first hand.

Dentist & Some much anticipated good news!

This girl loved the dentist! I was putting off taking her again because her first experience just wasn't that good. It was a year ago and it wasn't really a kid friendly environment but it was the only place in town that would do toddlers and take our insurance.

There is a couple children's only dentists in Missoula which is an hour away. So I decided to make the appointment because i had heard great things about it. It definitely did not disappoint. They had fun decorations and games that kids could play while they waited, and we literally were only in the waiting room 5 minutes before it was her turn.

The chairs were kid sized so she crawled right up in it and it didn't intimidate her by being so big. They have TVs on the ceiling so she got to pick out a movie and wear headphones. She really didn't pay that much attention to the movie. 


The dental assistant she had was awesome, she explained everything to Kendall and showed her exactly what she was going to do and that helped so much. She was a little nervous but stuck it out and eventually relaxed.


The Dentist came in and counted her teeth with a mirror which she was pretty excited about. And when he was all done she sang him a song. This child is definitely not shy anymore.


They have rewards system, and she got 3 punches on a special card because she was so good.
When its all filled up she gets to spin a wheel and pick a prize.

The part I liked the best was how comfortable they made her feel. Nothing was forced on her and if she needed a break they let her take one. The whole appointment maybe took 20 minutes from start to finish. I was very impressed with the staff and the facility.We definitely will be going back for future visits. It was well worth the hour drive. Plus a couple days later she got a thank you letter in the mail from them with extra stickers in it, which totally made her day.


Are you ready for the news?????? This girl officially bought a house and i couldn't be happier! I went in and signed paperwork! It is mine to do whatever i want with, woohoo!
