Soda Stream Review

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!

I never knew I could make my own soda at home and make sure it does not have preservatives or other bad things in it!!  Now with Soda Stream you can make delicious soda at home for a fraction of the price of buying it at a store.  :)  YAY!  I am also a fan of not using tons of cans or plastic that are bad for the environment so this is a really "green" system.  

Soda Stream also makes carbonated flavored water which is perfect for me because I try not to drink too much soda but adding a little flavor and fizz is great for me!  :) They also carry energy drinks, teas, Crystal Light, Lemonades, diet and regular sodas.  

Soda Stream is easy to use but it does take a little practice at getting the carbonation just right.  Also make sure you measure the syrup out and not guess or you might ruin a batch of soda.  I did a good job of measuring but I did end up tossing a couple batches because of the carbonation, one too little one too much.  

I was happy to have this system right in time for the 4th of July!  We had a party at our house and we made several drinks to share and everyone seemed to enjoy them.  

Soda stream has lots of fun recipes right one their site and I bet some of you could create your own too.  

Where can you find a Soda Stream?  You can buy online or several stores such as Sears, Staples, Bed Bath and Beyond, Target, Wal-Mart, Kohls, and many more!  


 Why buy and use Soda Stream?

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Packing for your first ski trip

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack.  Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
