Most of us think about new beginnings and fresh starts on the first day of the New Year. We make resolutions and goals that we hope to keep throughout the entire year. For those of us with children, though, the best time to start over is the beginning of the school year!
Kids get in that back-to-school mode. They’re ready for the new year, new school supplies, a new teacher, and new friends. Fall time is a great opportunity to set healthy routines in motion for our children, such as making breakfast a priority, brushing and flossing teeth more often, going to bed earlier, exercising, and eating healthier.
Van’s and Plackers want to help make this is a reality for families. Van’s Natural Foods offers 8 Whole Grains Pancakes, 8 Whole Grains Waffles, and Ancient Grains Hot Cereal. These are quick and easy breakfast options that are high in protein and whole grains, and low in sugar. Plackers helps out by offering Kids Flossers in fun animal shapes and tasty berry flavors. These help make flossing quick, easy, and fun for kids during the morning rush to school.
Great news! Van’s and Plackers have put together some super cool prize packages for 6 lucky Couponing 101 readers! Each prize package (pictured above) comes with 5 full-size baggies of Plackers Flossers (Kids, MicroMint, Twin-Line, OrthoPick, and GentleSlide), 2 coupons for FREE Van’s products, a $1 Van’s coupon, a $2 Van’s coupon, and a reusable travel bag.

I am working on getting my son into the routine of flossing because my son has a cavity and his dentist said it’s in between his teeth which happens when you don’t floss everyday/
Were trying to get a better sleep schedule down early and plan on making better choices when it comes to meals including school lunches and snacking.
I’m (HOPING!!) to get my kids FLOSSING their teeth; not just brushing! They’re great at brushing their teeth – sometimes twice, in the case of our 5 year old who LOVES to brush! – just not so great at flossing …! :/
Definitely reducing portion size!

We are working on only fast food a few times a month.
I’ll admit, flossing tends to take a back seat in our hygiene routine and I have been meaning to change that. I have a few kids who are flossing without reminders, but I am working towards getting all 7 of us to floss regularly.
We are going to try to be on more of a schedule and create a rhythm to our day. Sometimes I feel like the we float (or rush) through the day without being mindful. I hope to change that this year.
ooh just got back from taking my kids to the dentist this would be great!
