Houston Children's Festival - April 6-7th

Mark your calendar now so you don't miss the largest children's festival in the United States.
Houston Children's Festival is celebrating it's 25th birthday on April 6-7th from 10:30 am - 6:30 pm in Downtown Houston - City Hall, Houston Public Library Plaza and Tranquility Park.
Tickets are now on sale online for $8 + $1.39 fee or $10 at the gate, under 3 are free or consider an all day fun pass.

Food, Beverage and Games by coupon only; 9 coupons for $10.
The entire festival benefits Child Advocates Inc.  and has so much to do your kids are sure to get worn out.  My sister has taken my kids the past two years and they have had a blast!
There will be celebrity appearances by Victoria Justice on Sunday and Laura Marano on Saturday.  If your kids watch Nickelodeon or Disney at all you should be very familiar with these two (Victorious and Ally from Austin and Ally).

In addition the whole event has 5 stages of music and entertainment, in addition to over 300 activities in the big family adventure zones.
Kids Karoake, bounce house, games and rides, kids crafts, juggling, comedy, face painting, pony rides, and petting zoo are but a small list of what you will find awaiting you.
Don't be surprised if you see Dora the Explorer or Sid the Science Kid.

I am looking forward to attending this year with my kiddos :D

Snip Its All Greater Houston locations - $10 Haircut

Juice in the City, another daily deal site, has an offer today for a voucher for Snip Its. Snip Its is a hair salon for kids. I have taken my kiddos to the one in Sugar Land and they really like it. While waiting, there are toys for the kids to play with like puzzles and blocks. Then, when it is time for their haircut, they can play a video game or watch a show. Definitely great to keep them occupied while getting their hair trimmed.
Well today only, you can purchase a voucher for half price. For $10, you can get a voucher for a kids cut at the Sugar Land or The Woodlands location. These are unique to the location, so make sure you pick the correct location, Sugar Land or The Woodlands.  Vouchers expire on March 20, 2012.

OR, if you are a new client to Snip Its, you can get a $10 haircut coupon directly on their website.  These expire October 20, 2011.   You could always do both.  Print the $10 coupon from the website and use it first, then use your Juice in the City certificate for the next haircut(just an idea)
For the $10 on the website, these are also unique to location so make sure you print the correct one based on location: Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Rice Village, and Pearland.

Cool Cuts 4 Kids - $5 off coupon - any LOCATION

WOW! Summer is here and that is the easiest time to make appointments for kids haircuts (and other much needed items).
Well, the deals keep rolling in when it comes to keeping them neat and tidy! Cool Cuts 4 Kids is offering a $5 off coupon (good through 7/31) for any service $11.95 or higher, WOW!!!! AS low as $7 for a kids cut!!!, guess where I will be sending the hubs to test out their services? I am all about giving places a chance. (I actually have a personal hair dresser that only charges me $12 a cut and I personally LOVE and trust her- sadly she lives in Corpus, so I don't always get to use her, but it just goes to show, you don't always have to spend $$$$ to get the best!)

For $7 how can you go wrong and I really love that Cool Cuts 4 Kids offers entertainment for my kids. My personal hell is waiting with my kids in chairs with NOTHING to keep them entertained! Seriously, 1 minute can last an infinity if my kids are bored!!!! Well at Cool Cuts 4 Kids, they don't stand a chance of that because there are two entertainment zones built in for kids. The first in the waiting room, offering video games and movies to keep your kids entertained.
When it is your kid's turn, they have additional entertainment at their chair to keep them entertained and distracted from the fact that haircuts SHOULD be pretty boring, lol!

(I am personally jealous and want a place like this for adult WOMEN!!!! I mean come on, Men have Sports Clips!)

In addition, I am really interested in the Cool Rewards Club because it offers my favorite thing................COUPONS!
Check out the cool perks you receive as a Cool Rewards Club member:

1 point for every regularly priced service ($11.95 or higher)
Reward coupons for reaching 4, 8 and 13 points, emailed right to your inbox
20% off all retail products the day you join
10% off Cool Cuts 4 Kids haircare products
5% off all other haircare products
Advance notice of fun specials and promotions

and AFTER only 4 cuts you get $2 off, after 8 another $2 off, and then at 13 $4 OFF! SWEET!

If your kiddo is going in for their first haircut, there are a few offers for you as well, check those out here!

I think I am gonna send the hubs out to one of their 2 locations near us this week and beg for pics to be sent! My kids are in dire need of a clip (especially my little one!)

Disclosure: I was not compensated in any way for this post.  I was notified of the coupon and asked if I would like to post for my readers.

Snip Its Rice Village Grand Opening Special - $10 kid's haircut!!!!

I have already confessed my love of Snip Its in the past so I was super excited when I heard they were opening up another location in the Houston area. Now, being a couponer I naturally LOVE grand openings because that usually means 2 things: Sales and Coupons!!!!!
Well the Snip Its in Rice Village is not disappointing. If you go here, you can print a coupon to get a kids haircut for just $10! (Cuts normally start at ~$17 so this is almost 50% savings!)
The coupon does not expire until 7/31 and is only valid at the Rice Village Location.   Limit 1 coupon per family.
My girls really love getting their hair cut here because they get to play games or watch a movie while getting snipped rather than stare at a boring floor or wall.  I love that they stay still while someone is taking a pair of scissors to their hair :)

Disclosure: I was offered this coupon to share with my readers on a blog post.  I was not compensated in any way for this post and all words and opinions , as always, are my own.
