I am a 40 something (OK so it’s closer to fifty than 40) homeschooling mom to 3 by birth,2 by marriage and 4, by adoption. My kids have had the normal alphabet soup of diagnosis due to trauma and neglect with a little prenatal exposure to alcohol and drugs thrown in. My passion is kids, followed by reading and what ever my obsession of the month is. I depend on my husband for my sanity. I depend on the Holy Spirit for wisdom and my absolute faith in Jesus Christ for forgiveness of my many sins. My hope is not in this world but in the one to come. My absolute joy comes from my grandchildren.

Hi Lindy,
I was reading that your middle son will get braces put on soon and I was wondering if you or your readers would be interested in some braces-friendly recipes as well some other braces related information.
I’m currently working with the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) to create awareness about their services and knowledge. The AAO is a resource for parents to discover more about orthodontists, general tips on healthy smiles, braces-friendly recipes, and offers a Find an Orthodontist Locator Service.
Since working with the AAO, I’ve learned that it is never too early to start thinking about a child’s smile. Orthodontists receive two to three years additional education and are a great resource – especially for parents. The AAO recommends that once a child reaches 7 years of age or 5 if they play sports parents should begin to think about consulting an Orthodontist.
Many parents look to your site for advice and support and since April is National Facial Protection Month (NFPM) – I thought you might be interested in sharing some information about braces, NFPM, and the AAO, along with any personal braces/protective gear experiences on Lenell.
If you are interested, I am more than happy to send along some braces-friendly recipes (I have a lot!), and a lot of great tips for parents addressing common questions surrounding braces, protective gear, and why to choose an orthodontist. Also, I saw that you are looking at having guest bloggers, and we would love to write a post for Lenell.
Thanks!
Tom
