My favorite part of visiting the dentist is when he shoots the water thing in my mouth and around each tooth. Something about that rush of water just always leave my mouth feeling so clean and refreshed. Unfortunately I only go tot the dentist about twice a year for cleanings so I have been stuck with flossing and toothpaste.

Now I don’t know how I didn’t know this was invented, but Waterpik has the Ultra Dental Water Jet for regular people like me! It is a first of all 20% smaller than previous models and it is the perfect size for your countertop and all your other bathroom essentials. It does have to be plugged in so it does need to be by an outlet and you do need to spit, so the sink is a must too.

Now when you first take it out of the box, it is ready to be used, no assembly required. You can store all the six tips, including the new orthodontic and toothbrush tips, right inside the lid and you just have to fill it with water when ready to use. It also guarantees results in 14 days or less.


Benefits:

• Improves dental hygiene and is clinically proven to be up to 93% more effective than dental floss at improving gum health
• Removes bacteria deep between teeth and below the gumline where brushing and flossing will not reach
• Massages and stimulates gums to help prevent gingivitis and improve oral health
• Works with water or your favorite mouthwash
• Leaves a clean, fresh sensation

Features:

• Advanced pressure control system with 10 pressure settings ranging from 5 to 90 psi
• Contemporary, compact design is 20% smaller than previous models
• Quietest operation ever
• Unique reservoir lid with tip compartment for hygienic storage solution
• Reservoir capacity of 600 mL (20.3 oz)
• Two-year warranty

I have been using this for about a week so far and honestly, I love it! At first, it was strange and I got water everywhere, but the next day I had it down pat. I mainly use the Standard Jet Tip and Tongue Cleaner, but there is also a Pik Pocket, Orthodontic Tip, and Toothbrush Tip. I was shocked though to read that it is 93% more effective than flossing at improving dental health. I can definitely see how it would get plaque out better and the rush of water can be pretty powerful, but you can adjust the water from 1 to 10. I highly recommend listening to the directions and starting out at a low setting and working your way up.

Since my kids love to brush their teeth, but are terrible brushers, I have actually been using this on the lowest setting for them and they too love it! (They are 3 years old and 18 months). I would highly recommend checking out the Ultra Dental Water Jet, if you feel like you are missing something in your brushing routine, or want to see what your missing!

Other than this particular Water Jet model, Waterpik also offers a whole bunch of other great products for Oral Health and even Shower Heads.

BUY IT: You can buy the Waterpik WP-100 Ultra Dental Water Jet at many of the popular stores (Bed Bath & Beyond, Kmart, Kohls, Target, Wal-Mart, Walgreens and more) for a suggested price of $59.99. You can also find it at Amazon.

Okay so I wanted to remind everyone that I will be heading off to hopefully sunny Orlando, Florida for the Disney Social Media Mom's Event (read my post HERE).  I have been busy and scheduled posts (including Giveaways!) for the whole week.

We are actually leaving tonight from Chicagoland and driving to Florida with my 3 year old son, husband, and 12 year old sister.  I will miss my little guy, but I know he will be spoiled rotten by Grandma!  We are actually staying in 3 hotels during our stay, which I will post reviews on each when we get back.  I will have limited access to my blog and email as Internet costs about $10 a day and I don't want to give into the temptation of logging on because I will never get off!  I think our last hotel has free internet so I might log on then.  Luckily, my husband has an iPhone so I can at least check my email, as much as he lets me!

I also want to let all my fabulous readers know that I am finally catching up and I will slowly start putting in more personal posts, recipes (I got some good ones lined up with pictures!) and I am thinking of a weekly feature.  I just got very caught up with all the product review opportunities at Christmastime and I really am too nice to turn one down if asked.

I do have a million book reviews to do, so you will see many of those in the months to come.  I feel awful that it has taken me so long with some of these books, but I got in a reading slump and nothing really appealed to me.  So rather than give all the books bad reviews, I figured I would wait until I was in a better mood and willing to read.

I am also looking for ways to make Mama's Money Savers better.  Please leave me suggestions, good and bad, even if you want to go the Anonymous route.  Is my site too busy?  What do you want to see more of?  What do other sites have, that you would like to see here?  Any questions? 

DVD DESCRIPTION:

It’s another crazy ba-a-a-tch of adventures when the all-new Shaun the Sheep: A Woolly Good Time arrives on DVD February 16, 2010 from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment. An international hit, Shaun the Sheep recently won an International Emmy Award for Children & Young People. Five minute shorts of the series also currently air in the U.S. on the Disney Channel. Fans can only find full length episodes on the DVDs.

SYNOPSIS:

A little pinch of zaniness and a big dash of fun is the perfect recipe for laughter as Shaun the Sheep and his barnyard buddies Bitzer, Shirley, Timmy and friends get into more wacky shenanigans in Shaun the Sheep: A Woolly Good Time. The laughs keep rising as the creators of the Academy Award™- winning Wallace & Gromit are on a roll, dough-ling out more sheep herding mayhem by the baker’s dozen.

Episodes include:

“Washday” – When the Farmer leaves, the sheep have loads of fun playing with his newly washed clothes hung out to dry. Quick! How to clean up the dirty garments before he returns?

“Tooth Fairy” – Bitzer gets a terrible toothache and Shaun takes the job as dentist hoping to help his friend and remove the painful tooth. But after several creative and hilarious attempts at extraction it’s off to the vet for success! But will the Tooth Fairy still visit Bitzer?

“The Farmer’s Niece” – The Farmer’s naughty niece comes for a visit and Bitzer and the fearless flock have to put up with her silly antics.

“Snore-Worn Shaun” – What can Shaun do to stop Shirley’s snoring? Nothing works so he and the flock decide to get her out of the barn with hilarious results!

“Helping Hound” – Farmer and Bitzer are fed up with the naughty sheep and hope a robotic dog will keep them in line. But there’s mayhem in the meadow when he turns out to be stricter than Bitzer!

“Big Top Timmy” – The sheep awake to find Timmy gone! The search is on and he’s found at a nearby circus. Can Shaun and the fearless flock rescue him and return to the barn before the Farmer finds out?

DVD SPECIAL FEATURES:

· Sing-Along with Shaun
· The Mini-Making of Shaun

Honestly I have never seen the Academy Award-winning Wallace & Gromit but I am sure glad it’s creators came out with Shaun the Sheep. I have seen Shaun the Sheep a few times as short skits on the Disney channel, but I didn’t think much of it. When I watched this DVD, I laughed, laughed, and laughed some more! It is adorable and even though it is claymation and doesn’t use spoken words. The way those mischievous sheep get into trouble with the dog trying to watch over them, and somehow the farmer never catches them!

Shaun the Sheep “A Woolly Good Time" is just the newest video featuring those crazy sheep and it is 40 minutes of laughs, and I don’t usually like slapstick humor. I was really surprised too that my 3-year old liked it, as he usually only likes cartoon but even he was laughing when the sheep were sneaking around! I can still picture those crazy sheep with the farmers clothes on their heads! I would definitely recommend it for all ages, not just kids!

VISIT:  Check out the Shaun the Sheep Website for fun activities from all your favorite sheep!

BUY IT:  You can buy this wherever you normally buy DVDs and at Amazon.

GIVEAWAY:  One winner will receive the DVD ""Shaun the Sheep:  A Woolly Good Time"

WIN IT:  Comment on which character you like the most (or think you would like if you haven't seen the show before!)
