My Forever Tooth Fairy gift set Tooth Fairy tradition What could be more magical than losing a tooth, placing it under your pillow, and waking to find that it's been replaced with a coin by the Tooth Fairy? Irish mother Emma Duffy has the answer. She has created My Forever Tooth Fairy to amplify the magic of this age-old childhood tradition. It's a gift set that includes an illustrated picture book that tells the story of the Forever Tooth Fairies. The book also teaches children a song to help them brush their teeth. The gift set contains a Forever Tooth Fairy doll. These dolls have soft, posable bodies, so they can be used for both imaginative play and comforting snuggles. There is a magic tooth tote and tracker. The tote is a little velvet pouch in which milk teeth can be placed, before being popped under a child's pillow. The tracker allows children to record each time they lose a baby tooth and what happens when the Tooth Fairy visits. Finally, a display case has a light-up swing for the doll and storage for the book, tooth tote, and tracker. The My Forever Tooth Fairy gift set is available at for €59.95 Rainbow swim shoes, €21, from Freddie and Millie Toys Swim shoes Protect your children from the hazards of swimming with these swim shoes, from Designed to fit feet ranging in size from a children's size two to an adult size three, they come with non-slip soles to reduce the risk of skidding on wet surfaces.

'I am very compassionate': Joni Ernst defends her 'we all are going to die' remark
Iowa Senator Joni Ernst defended her controversial statement "we all are going to die," at a town hall meeting and said that "you need to listen to the entire conversation." Speaking to CBS News on Monday, Ernst said, "I'm very compassionate, and you need to listen to the entire conversation." Tired of too many ads? go ad free now During a heated town hall on Friday, Senator Joni Ernst sparked viral attention with remarks about mortality as she defended a controversial GOP-backed domestic policy bill. The legislation, dubbed the One Big Beautiful Bill act—a nod to former President Trump's nickname for it—seeks to implement work requirements for certain Medicaid recipients, among other reforms. Tensions rose when Ernst attempted to explain the proposed changes to Medicaid, prompting someone in the crowd to shout that the policy would lead to deaths. Ernst elaborated that the legislation would "focus on those that are most vulnerable" and assured that "those that meet the eligibility requirements for Medicaid we will protect." Subsequently, Ernst posted an ironic video apology on Instagram, stating, "I made an incorrect assumption that everyone in the auditorium understood that, yes, we are all going to perish from this Earth. So, I apologize. I'm really, really glad that I did not have to bring up the subject of the Tooth Fairy as well." Her remarks drew criticism from potential electoral challengers. Democratic nominee candidate Nathan Sage accused Ernst of showing contempt for constituents, whilst State Representative JD Scholten announced his campaign launch, citing Ernst's town hall behaviour as motivation. The House legislation would implement additional Medicaid restrictions, including requirements for non-disabled adults without children to work, volunteer or study. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It also introduces more frequent eligibility assessments, reduces funding for states covering undocumented immigrants, freezes provider taxes and prohibits gender transition service coverage. The proposed modifications to Medicaid and SNAP could generate substantial savings, potentially funding extensions of Trump's 2017 tax cuts and enhanced border security measures. Ernst acknowledged at the town hall that whilst she supports certain aspects of the House-passed legislation, "the bill will be changing" as it progresses through the Senate, where some Republicans advocate for reduced Medicaid cuts.

Faith Salie offers her two cents on the end of the penny
What is worthless, but priceless? Overlooked, but treasured? Ubiquitous, but ephemeral? What makes us stop in the street to transcend our pride and stoop to pick it up? It's the humble, shiny, tiny penny. The Treasury announced it will cease making new pennies by early next year. Will they disappear immediately? No. But like so many things in our lives – reliably snowy winters, face-to-face conversations, books whose pages we can turn – pennies are fading away. Before you shrug me off as a sentimental fool old enough to remember visiting the penny candy store on Cape Cod, I do understand that pennies are "outdated" and "inefficient." The government spends about 3.7 cents to make 1 penny. That's a loss of $85 million last year alone. And around half of us don't even carry cash anymore. I don't think the Tooth Fairy believes in pennies nowadays. So, canceling them makes "cents." But in a world where it seems like everyone's looking down, a penny can remind us things might be looking up ... you know, pennies from heaven? You know who was on the first penny in 1792? A woman! It was deemed un-American back then to depict a ruler on a coin, so pennies featured Lady Liberty. It wasn't until 1909 that President Lincoln's face graced the coin. His iconic profile was designed by a Lithuanian-born Jewish immigrant, Victor David Brenner, who created what's thought to be the most reproduced piece of art in history. 1943 pennies were made of zinc-coated steel, because copper was needed for World War II. Should we just throw that history away? Well, yes! As long as we imbue each toss with our wishes. "A penny for your thoughts" was coined nearly 500 years ago by Sir Thomas More, back when offering someone a penny meant their musings were really worth something. These are just my two cents, but ... nobody throws a bitcoin into a fountain. Call me a numismatic nostalgic, but in a world full of crypto and virtuality, I'll keep my eyes peeled for the tarnished, tangible, inefficient promise of luck.
