{EXPIRED} SodaStream Fountain Jet Giveaway

My family is HUGE soda drinkers, so when I was given the opportunity to review SodaStream Fountain Jet, we were so excited.

The Fountain Jet ROCKS! It took less than 5 minutes from out of the box to a refreshing root beer.

4 SIMPLE steps to set up:
Insert carbon tank into back
Fill bottle with cold water, insert in front
Press the button on top to carbonate
Pull out bottle, add flavor
Enjoy

The slim machine itself looks great on the kitchen counter. It takes up very little space. The flavor bottles don't take up much storage space either. It will cut down on the heavy lugging of pop from the store and on our plastic disposal.



Not to mention the savings on soda and energy drinks. Energy drinks are over $3 a piece!

We have tried the Cola, Root beer, Energy Drink (taste like Red Bull according to my husband) Orange Mango, Diet Cola, Cranberry Raspberry, and several other flavors they sent us. I love the Cranberry Raspberry. The kiddo loves several and has been drinking the energy drink before football practice. Hubby also likes the energy drink.

There is still so many we havnt tried yet; sparkling water, sparkling flavored water, sparkling water with juice (like Crystal Geiser Juice-Sparkling water Spritzers), and club soda.

The Soda Stream flavors contain NO high fructose corn syrup or artificial ingredients and are lower in calories than name brands. To compare your favorites go HERE

“One SodaStream carbonator makes 60 or 110 liters, equivalent to 170 or 310 aluminum cans! When empty, the carbonator is refilled and reused, ready to make more fizzy and tasty soda whenever you want it.”

There are several authorized dealers now too! Bed Bath & Beyond being one of them, so you can pick up your flavors there as well as exchange the carbonators.

In summary, the machine is incredibly easy to use and is attractive left on the countertop. The resulting carbonated products are delicious and the flavoring possibilities are endless. It’s an economical and ecofriendly way to cut back spending on a ton of different drink products you may buy on a regular basis.

Buy It For Yourself! The Soda Stream Jet Starter Kit starts at just $99 and can be purchased HERE, along with a ton of awesome flavors.

Making A Mini Toilet Roll Tag Book With Elmer's Crafters Kit

I received the above BzzAgent kit to review a few days ago. I had been wanting to scrap a mini toilet roll tag book for some time now and decided this was the perfect opportunity to use and review this kit!



To adhere the pretty papers to the rolls, I used the tape runner on the body and the glue stick to tuck the paper ends into the roll. The glue pen was also used on some of the ends. It is really cool being a double tipped glue pen! All adhesives are acid free and archival safe.

Front cover: On my flower and butterfly embellishments I used the glue pen and glue spots. The glue spots make the embellishments stand off the page giving it more dimension.



I used the X-acto corner rounder punch to round off some of my stickers and the scissors to cut a pretty edge on some of the scrapbook papers. Each page has room to add a photo and a journaling tag that slides out from inside the covered roll to journal any thoughts and important info about the photo.



All the glues dried clear. The scissors and punch cut sharply without tearing my papers or stickers. This is very important!



The only problem I had with anything in the kit was the glue runner was tempermental. It seemed to work great at first, but after 3 pages it began working intermittently. I'm hoping this was just a faulty runner and want to try another one because the quality of the adhesive was wonderful.

Over all, these products were easy to use and performed as expected.

From Canning to Baking!~Cupcakes, Bread and Cinnamon Rolls

I've been baking up a storm the last few days!

First I baked Chocolate Mocha Cupcakes with Mocha Butter Frosting. They turned out great and we all loved the taste!






Then I baked Onion Soup Bread. I was totally surprised my kiddo loved this bread. He doesn't eat onions, although he likes onion flavor. It has something to do with the texture of onions. I guess the soup didn't have enough to bother him and what little it does have, they are crunchy. He told me it was so good I should make a bunch of loaves and sell them! lol



Today it was rainy here again and damp. I decided to make some home made cinnamon rolls. I used my bread machine on the dough cycle and I don't think it made it any quicker! But they turned out lovely.



Look at that gooey yumminess!



The weather is getting cooler here as well as the days getting shorter. I shouldn't rush fall or winter, it will be long enough on it's own. But I do miss the type of cooking I do during these months.

How about you? What have you been baking?

September is National Coupon Month

September is National Coupon Month!

I know today is the 9th of the month and I'm a little late reminding you about this. School and football has kept me BUSY! But we are having fun. Here is a few fun facts for you.

Did you know that the first coupon was issued in 1887 by Coca-Cola for free samples to promote their drink?



C.W. Post distributed coupons worth 1 cent off his Grape Nuts cereal in 1895.

In the 1930’s, because of the depression, everyone was trying to save money in every way. Coupons were a way for Americans to pinch their pennies.

By 1965, half of Americans had used coupons.

1998 America celebrated its 1st National coupon month in September and continues to do so each year.

NOTE: It is prohibited by law to duplicate coupons by a copy machine other than for demonstration or educational purposes.
