SodaStream Home Seltzer and Soda Maker Review & Giveaway!!!

sodastream logo

We don’t drink soda very much at all, but we do drink flavored seltzer all the time.  A few things that bother me is  all the plastic being wasted on  individual bottles of seltzer, then the lugging them back and forth, being charged a deposit that we never redeem as we just recycle them and knowing my water is much healthier than wherever they are getting theirs.  The SodaStream is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and is great for making your family lots of healthy carbonated drinks as well as soda.  For instance you can add a little fruit juice to seltzer water you make with the soda stream and have refreshing juice spritzers.  The SodaStream is super easy to use right out of the box.  You just insert the CO2 cylinder, then wash the soda bottles and fill them with cold water and screw onto the SodaStream.  A few pushes for carbonation and add the flavor of your choice and you are all set.

They have natural essence for flavored seltzer in orange, lemon-lime and raspberry.  I added a little orange essence and poured it over ice and it was delicious and my kids thought so too.  Also, if we have someone stopping by that does want a soda, I can make them some with the concentrate and have it fresh without having to keep big bottles on hand.  It is great for parties where you want a variety of flavors to be available for guests.  If you are looking for a way to save plastic, time, energy and use your own water to make carbonated beverages, you should check out the SodaStream.  The SodaStream is available in so many retail stores now like Macy’s  Kohls, Wal Mart, Target, Costco and more.  Just exchange the CO2 cylinder when it is empty at any retailer for a full cylinder as well as shop for supplies.  I love the sleek styling of the SodaStream Genesis and it goes great in my kitchen not taking up much room at all.  Whatever your taste and your needs you are bound to find the right SodaStream for you!

A Little Lair, Fairy, Elf & Gnome Door and Book Set Review and Giveaway!!!

allittlelairlogo

We have a couple Elf on the Shelf elves which I like much more for the fact that they remind me of the knee hugger elves my mom had from Japan.  They were always my favorite Christmas decoration.  If you are looking for a way to have the wonder of little creatures prancing about your home while you sleep, you will like the Fairy, Elf and Gnome Door and Book Set from A Little Lair.

When I brought this Door & Book Set out and told my kids that this little door would signal to all elves, fairies and gnomes that our house was a safe place, my five-year old immediately asked if that included the tooth fairy.  He is very into the tooth fairy and is waiting to lose his first tooth.  He used to get terribly upset when we told him his baby teeth would begin to get loose and then fall out because he felt that was horrible.  He would tell us that his teeth would not fall out because he is going to the dentist and brushing his teeth.  Ever since he started school this year and he has seen several classmates with missing teeth who relay stories of the tooth fairy, his whole mindset has changed.  So the idea of having a door that would invite the tooth fairy in, really appealed to him.  He liked the idea so much, that when we were thinking about where to put our door, he so generously offered his room.  The little doors come in three colors and I just love our red door.  The book tells children the whole story and gets them excited about their new little house guests.  If you are looking for a super cute way to share the magical world of imagination with your child, this set is perfect.  Now I am off to find the perfect spot for our door, who knows, the tooth fairy could be stopping by tonight just to check the accommodations.   Hmmm, probably should tidy up some then too!
