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? 


Praises of a Wife and Mommy was supplied the Soda Stream Kit to create this review.  All opinions are 100% mine.   Thank-you to Soda Stream for supplying the kit!  :)

Book Description
Discover how to lead your child to Christ.
It's the most important conversation you'll ever have with your child, but that doesn't make it easy. The gospel is simple enough for little ones, but has kept theologians debating for years. So when it comes to explaining the Good News to your son or daughter, where do you start?
In I Believe in Jesus, John MacArthur walks children though the gospel of Jesus in a way that is easy to understand, and equips parents, grandparents, teachers, and loved ones to share the familiar story of God's love.
By opening the door to conversations that lead to salvation, this picture books has the potential to change lives forever.
My Review: This was an easy book to read and it paints a very clear picture for kids and parents to easily discuss the elements on the page to make sure the child understands what decision they could be making.   That decision to follow Christ is a big one that will impact them forever so making sure you…

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly.  I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos.  Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you.  
This was a super easy one for those little hands.  I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting.  The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper.  EASY, but they enjoyed it!  :) 
It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge!  :)  
I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!
