I Just Entered Teenage Motherhood! Happy 13th Birthday Lauren!

Today I entered teenage motherhood! My oldest daughter Lauren turned 13 today!  Wow, where did the time go?  She was just the baby that I would cradle in my arms for comfort not too long ago.

I asked Lauren today, "How does it feel to be a teenager now?" 


She said, "It's life."  😂  Typical teenager!


I had Lauren at a young age of 21 and knew zero about raising kids.  Honestly, I didn't feel I would be a good enough mother for her due to my lack of experience. 


But something about this precious baby showed me how to love and nurture, taught me that I am good enough, strong enough, and I am capable.


As Lauren grew up, I knew something about her was special.  Her passions are not about fashion and all that typical cute girly stuff.  She is all about learning history and cultures, speaking new languages, and being a gamer.  She helps me to broaden my horizons, learning something new.


As we enter in the teenage years facing new challenges and goals, I want her to know that I'll be there for her every step of the way. 


I'm thankful to have my beautiful baby in my life, she molds me, keeps me grounded, secure, lightens up my world.  She is indeed one of a kind!

Happy 13th Birthday Lauren!

Is Six Flags Fright Fest Good for Kids? A Mom Review

Guess what yall!  The girls and I did our first Fright Fest at Six Flags Over Georgia together!  With my daughters getting older, they are now stepping into the world of facing fears, doing things that would typically scare them during Halloween season.  No more of that cutesy, bobbing for apples, and parades in their costumes at school.  They're looking for more thrilling, frightful stuff during this spooky season.

Although they said they're not going to be scared of going to all the haunted houses for the first time, I figured they would chicken out once we arrived at Six Flags, but my thoughts deceived me.  My girls took it like G's with Lauren leading the way at each haunted house!

Fright Fest, presented by SNICKERS®, is on certain days, September 22-October 31 at Six Flags Over Georgia. It's a spooky time of year as zombies and ghouls take over the park. There are thrills and activities to enjoy for the whole family throughout the day, and people can come back for a truly frightening evening of fun after the sun goes down.

Fright Fest offers a wide variety of places to get your scare on which includes several haunted houses and scare zones located throughout the park. The stuff of nightmares lurks around every corner as the dark of night washes over the park. The ghouls are set free for their daily hunting rituals.

Before the sunset, the girls and I got to do a behind the scenes tour seeing these ghoulish monsters getting their nightmarish looks ready to frighten all the Six Flags guest.

It was amazing the transformation of makeup can make someone look like a real living walking dead.  Makeup artists use high-quality cosmetics to achieve these scary looks that you would see on movie sets.  So, no cheap Halloween store makeup, it's the real deal.

When the sunsets, there are a lot of different events going on at the park which includes:

Haunted Attractions

Scare Zones

• Promenade Theatre
• Cannibal Carnival
• Fear Riders
• Mariner's Cove
• The Bunker
• Bayou Burial Grounds

Haunted Mazes and Attractions

• Camp Slasher
• The Witch's Hollow
• Madeline Mendoza's Casa de Muerte
• Evil Passage
• Alien Abduction
• ZX-1

Live Shows

• Dr. Fright's Dead Man's Party
• Bad Bob The Bone Butcher
• Demonatrix Unleashed 
• The Uprising

My daughters are ages 13 and 11, and although they are teens and weren't afraid of the Fright Fest Festivities, I don't recommend it for children under 12, it might be too intense.


All three of us thought the Haunted Houses wasn't scary, but it might be to those that easily scare from things popping out at them, and all the frightening screams.

The freakish costume characters do not touch people inside the haunted houses, and neither does the characters in the scare zones; however, both haunted houses and scare zones, the characters do pop out and scare people by either loud screams or sneaking up to people when they are not paying attention.

If the characters notice guests are afraid they will back off and leave them alone.


Even though Scare Zones, and Live Shows are included with ticket entry purchase, the Haunted Houses are not, that's a separate fee.

Are the haunted houses worth the extra price?  


I say yes.  It's all in good fun, and Six Flags put a lot of thought into it, and some of the special effects.  I had a great time doing our first haunted houses together; it was a memorable experience.  The set up of the haunted houses were put together nicely.


It's better to do the haunted houses closer to Halloween when the weather is cooler, several of the haunted house attractions was outdoors, and you know how this Atlanta heat be, even when it's night time, HOT!



Disclosure: We were invited as media, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Have you ever gone to Six Flags Fright Fest with kids?  If so, what was your experience?

The Cutest Subscription Box Ever! Kawaii Box Review

Do you know what is the cutest subscription box ever?  It's the Kawaii Box!


Now you're probably wondering what Kawaii is?


Kawaii is the cuteness pop-culture in Japan.  For example, Hello Kitty is apart of the Kawaii culture, so if you like Hello Kitty, you will like Kawaii.  Kawaii can be referred to Japanese products like adorable toys, clothing, food, and even humans that appear charming, shy, childlike, wide-eyed, full of doll-like pink colors.


I've been a big fan of the Kawaii culture since I was a young teen, something about super cute stuff and looks from Japan makes me feel so much happiness inside. 

It all started with Hello Kitty for me, then grew to Hello Kitty's close friend Keroppi.  I became a big-time collector of Keroppi products, with my room deck out of it from top to bottom.

How to Save Money at the Dentist if You Don’t Have Dental Insurance: DentalPlans.com Review

Going to the dentist is never fun especially if you don’t have dental insurance or a dental savings plan.  Trust me, I know, I been in several situations of not having both whiles having severe dental emergencies.


Would you believe that you could pay up to $200, possibly more, for standard teeth cleaning? It’s true and don’t let yourself get into the situation where you need to have a tooth removed or a root canal – you’re looking at spending even more.  I remember needing a root canal, plus crown and without dental insurance or a dental savings plan, dental work was going to cost me over $2,000!  But, thankfully, when I got myself a dental savings plan card, I was able to save over a $1,000!


Don’t get me wrong; I know dental insurance is even more of a headache since most medical insurances don’t include dental in their standard plans. I’m not one for wasting money, so I totally get it if you don’t feel that you need to pay for dental insurance every month. However, today, I’m here to tell you that you may have another option. That option is DentalPlans.com.
