Soda Stream Review

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?

My daughter got one of those Orbeez bead sets for Christmas.  I was so amazed at how those beads grew in the water.  It was so much fun!  :)  My daughter made her necklaces with the beads but we had a lot more m beads so we have been using them for some fun sensory play.   We put the beads in a dish and we got some glow sticks and put them in the container with the beads.  The beads looked really awesome.  :) My daughter loved it.  She played in the dark with the beads and glow sticks for a long time.  :)

The Marriage Manual: 3 Secrets To A Happy And Lasting Marriage

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -

Well, you have gone and done it! You’ve stood across from the love of your life and made your vows in front of your family, friends, and God. You’ve entered into the contract of marriage, but while it may be a solemn contract, that certainly doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be fun. It’s strange how many newlyweds expect life to undergo some kind of seismic shift upon tying the knot, assuming that their lives will not become a pattern of domestic drudgery with pleasure, intimacy and fun going out the window and that elusive spark between you fading away until you either can’t stand the sight of each other or are happy to tick over despite the grinding mutual resentment. Happily, the truth is that marriage is neither a ball and chain nor a grueling assault course. But like anything worth having, a marriage needs to be maintained.
