This simple ring from Mint & Lily holds the name of my stillborn son—delicate, beautiful, and deeply meaningful. It’s a small way I get to remember Dylan, honor him, and carry his memory with me in the quiet moments of motherhood.

Custom jewelry like this makes space for the unseen stories so many of us carry. 💔❤️‍🩹

If you’ve ever wanted to wear your child’s name—whether they’re in your arms or in Heaven—this is a beautiful way to do it.

💍 You can customize your own name ring with @mintandlily and wear your love right on your hand.☺️

(My other ring is his birthstone)💚

Let’s be real—getting kids to brush their teet Let’s be real—getting kids to brush their teeth correctly is like asking them to fold laundry and enjoy it. Not happening. Especially when you’ve got a neurodivergent kiddo who already feels like brushing is a sensory warzone. 😩

Enter: the @TheAutoBrush. Aka the only toothbrush my kids don’t fight me on.

✔️ 58,000 feather-soft bristles = every tooth gets love

✔️ 360° U-shaped magic = all the surfaces, none of the drama

✔️ LED blue light = whitening while brushing (yes please)

✔️ Sensory-friendly = no meltdowns, no toothbrush battles

✔️ Takes seconds = perfect for moms who don’t have time to micromanage oral hygiene at 7:42am

It’s cute. It’s powerful. It’s like a tiny robot dentist doing all the work for you.

I’m obsessed—and so is my autistic son who now thinks brushing is “cool” (his words, not mine 🥲).

Whether you’re a sensory-sensitive household, an autism mom with a million things to do, or just done with nagging your kids to brush their stinkin teeth—AutoBrush is about to be your new best friend.

➡️➡️Comment “BRUSH” and join the future of oral care and make brushing one less thing to stress about!

Your kids (and your dentist) will thank you. 🪥✨
