Six Flags Fiesta Texas Coupon

Six Flags Fiesta Texas Coupon

I am not a “roller coaster” person.

To be honest, I am scared of heights.

However, I live with three daredevils that LOVE roller coasters.

“But Mom, there’s even a coupon!” said my enterprising son.

So, off we go.

Six Flags Fiesta Texas Coupon

Six Flags Fiesta Texas has a brand new roller coaster – the Iron Rattler. It has a height of 180-feet, plus speed of 70 mph on a wooden coaster. WOW!

Here are some more details…

  • A staggering drop of 171 feet with an amazing drop angle of 81 degrees.
  • A blazing top speed of 70 mph.
  • Four over-banked turns — more than any other hybrid coaster, and the first of its kind to
    feature a completely inverted barrel roll.

My boys can’t wait.

Save $15 on General Admission.

What are your favorite ways to save money on trips like this?  We’re going to pack our lunch, bring frozen water bottles to stow in the cooler, and plan on getting there when the doors open.

Plus, sunscreen.  Lots and lots of sunscreen.

Invisalign Straight Talk – Talk Teeth to Me

May 23 by Kristin Duncan

This conversation is sponsored by Invisalign. The opinions are mine, however. 🙂

Invisalign Straight Talk

I have two teenagers now. It’s a scary time. So much to keep up with. So much to worry about.

So glad I attended Invisalign StraightTalk, which focused on Invisalign for teens…

Invisalign Logo

To be honest, braces never crossed my mind. My kids’ teeth look fine.  My kids get regular dental check ups but braces were never mentioned for either of the big kids. Until I attended the Invisalign Straight Talk conference with Dr. Halford of Halford Orthodontics and the lovely girls at Bloggy Boot Camp, I never knew kids were supposed to have an orthodontic consult, even if their teeth looked okay.

Whoops.

There are so many things to consider about such a big investment like Invisalign or braces in general, but the good news is that many insurance carriers are now covering Invisalign just like metal braces!  Plus, if your kid loses one of their trays, you can get a free replacement.  How cool is that?  Technology is expanding the field of orthodontics, and now braces are available to preteens and teenagers at younger ages.

I never had braces as a child/teen.  Dr. Halford’s friendly approach was almost enough to get me to sign up.  And I’m pretty scared of the dentist.  Not even gonna lie.  If you’re looking for a new orthodontist, or one in general, you can use Invisalign’s Doctor Locator.  If your regular dentist says your kid isn’t a candidate, consider a second opinion.

To be honest, there were so many things discussed, I don’t think I could fit them all into one post.  The technology of Invisalign, with its 3-D imagers, the convenience of the Invisalign trays, the cost vs traditional braces…   Plus, the time!  They were talking about cutting the office visits in half with Invisalign vs traditional metal braces.

Invisalign Results

I could go on for a while.  We learned so much in one night.

However, I want to leave something for you to tell me.  Have you ever considered Invisalign, either for yourself or your kids?  What was your experience?  Were you a metal mouth instead?

Listerine 21 Day Challenge Wrap Up

Mar 2 by Kristin Duncan

As a family, we took the Listerine 21 Day Challenge to brush, floss, and use Listerine Ultraclean twice a day for 21 days. Well, time is up and how did we do?

Listerine Challenge

I think the kids did great – I’ve really noticed a difference in their smiles. Since I have older kids, I don’t have to remind them to brush that often. They have the habit already and do a pretty good job. I think using Listerine more regularly is going to help them set the habit, as they move into their adult years.

Jamey, though… He’s got some sensory issues and getting his teeth brushed when it’s not his idea is not always the easiest. But, with his Phineas and Ferb toothbrush and rinse, it was a little easier to get him in the mood, so to speak. We actually had to put his toothbrush up during the day to keep him away from it! We also started keeping small cups in the bathroom to make it easier for everyone to use Listerine.

And how did I do? Well, I’m working on it. I started packing one of the toothbrushes I received from Listerine in my bag for work, so I could brush my teeth after lunch. I have a flosser in my purse. I still need to see a dentist for the first time in mumblemumble years, but I feel a little better about the state of my mouth.

I want to thank Listerine and The Motherhood for including me in this campaign. It’s been eye opening to see how much the right products can help you keep your mouth clean and healthy, even when you don’t have health insurance.  I was provided with products and compensation from the Johnson & Johnson Healthcare Products Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc. and The Motherhood as part of my participation in the LISTERINE® 21 Day Challenge.

Salata – Perfect for Picky Palates.

Feb 1 by Kristin Duncan

Salata – Perfect for Picky Palates

Sometimes, you really just want to eat something that you didn’t cook yourself.

And that you don’t have to clean up.

But it needs to be healthy and it needs to be affordable and it needs to make everyone happy. We’ve got three special diets in my house, plus hungry teenagers and picky eaters in general.

Eating out is harder than it looks.

Enter Salata.

Their concept is simple. Eat good. Look good. Feel good. Their menu is even simpler. They sell wraps, salads, and soups. Some locations have a greek yogurt bar, also.

You pick your protein, you pick your ingredients, and your food is made right in front of you. Want more cucumber than tomato? Want to mix their buttermilk ranch and spicy chipotle ranch? Just ask. No extra charge.

salata my salad

My husband and I were able to try out this lovely souped up salad bar this week, courtesy of two free coupons. It’s hard to find places that please both of us, and don’t leave us hungry in an hour, but Salata was lovely.  We both had huge salads with chicken.  I only finished about half of mine but I was full enough to withstand the temptation at the movie theater right afterwards!

With 11 Houston locations, and more coming soon, put Salata on your list.  I know I’ll be back.  🙂
