Almost Summer- Now What??

Now I have to think of SUMMER PLANS. My brain is totally fried from being home school teacher the last 2 months. Here are some things we will be doing!

SWIMMING at local pool~ the kids LOVE this.  It's open from 2:30- 5pm M-F and I usually buy the 10 visit for $10 (or $1.50 per day) but this doesn't open until June 25th.

BOWLING~ Kids can go everyday for FREE (just pay for shoe rental) this is NATIONWIDE.  Free bowling available until 8 p.m., 7 days a week. AMF summer is May 14 – Sept. 3, 2012.  Just sign up https://freebowling.amf.com/.  You print out daily vouchers.  We were a bit disappointed that our local bowling alley wasn't on the list BUT when we went in there they have their own program.  Bay Area peeps~ sign up here for Albany Bowl.

MOVIES~ Some movie theaters offer Free/Discount Kid Movies during the summer.  The AMC near us stopped their summer program (boo hiss) but there is a couple other theaters we can go to!  Check out Cinemark $1.00 summer movies HERE.  Regal $1.00 summer movies HERE.  When I read the movie selection to my kids they looked at me like I was silly then told me they were too old for those....ummm NEVER too old for Happy Feet- what are you talking about!  They just giggled at me.  So I guess I might have to bring them once a month to $5 Tuesday at our local movie theater to watch newer movies.

CAMPS~ I wish!  Too expensive for us and the ones I can afford the kids DON'T want to go too and since I am home M-F no need to put them somewhere they don't like.  We tried a couple last year that didn't work out.  Maybe next year I will be organized enough to apply for scholarships.

PARKS~ Oh yes we will be visiting several parks this summer!  I'm trying to find some we haven't been too yet.

MUSEUMS~ We will be going to a couple of these during the summer.

CAMPING~ Oh yes!  This will be happening too! 


I also signed up this morning for Operation Summer 2012- an 8 week activity-packed plan to help you create memories, strengthen relationships, provide structure and have fun! The plan is FREE and includes colorful printables, yummy summer recipes, family conversation starters,  and easy craft ideas.  Go HERE to sign up too!

Kendall GelThotics Review/Giveaway

If you don't know yet I'm a waitress and foot pain is a BIG FACTOR in my life.  I try to buy better shoes but as mom I'm always looking for that DEAL and doing that I tend to get cheaper shoes that lack the support I need.  


I work Sat/Sun at this busy breakfast cafe and I'm on my feet from 7:30am to 3pm with a 15 minute break.  I'm constantly moving- no standing around at this cafe.  I've also been doing this well over 10 years.  When I get off work I tend to be in a lot of pain and in bed I ago.  I chalk it up as I'm getting older and my body can't handle the beating I give it, LOL!  


When I was asked to do a review on Kendall GelThotics I was excited and curious if they would work.  I've bought store brand inserts and they did nothing to help with pain. 


I wore these inserts which were very easy to place in shoes the last 3 weeks and GUESS WHAT- no bed for me after work.  The pain was very minimal and my legs and feet didn't swell.  I was able to participate in dinner and other family activities without blinking an eye.  These Gelthonics gave me the support I've been lacking all these years and I HIGHLY recommend these no matter what!  


I also love the fact you can use them in any kind of shoe!  So simple to take out and place in another.  

 Product Description

Kendall Research Systems, Inc. has introduced a silicone orthotic with maximal support and shock absorbency. The Kendall GelThotic, provides optimal therapeutic support and requires less space in the shoe than any other orthotic, thus working in almost any style of shoe. Kendall GelThotics was sold by health practitioners in clinical settings, showing significant reductions in plantar fasciitis, forefoot issues, and more. Carefully engineered for enhanced biomechanical efficiency, it enhances performance through all phases of the gait cycle. In addition to enhancing performance, the GelThotic is water and moisture proof and cannot absorb microbes and odors.

Who would like to WIN Kendall Gelthotics????  

GelThotics are medically effective orthotics, so if you could benefit from using them PLEASE enter the Giveaway!
