Why @SodaStreamUSA would make a great addition to #blogmania2011 + Berry Slush recipe #imabzzagent

Last January I had the pleasure of doing a review for Sodastream. Here is my reaction in the first review:  We now use Sodastream on a daily basis.  There are so many different options from regular soda, diet, & natural that do not include high fructose corn syrup.  My husband is a fan of the energy drink. As well as, our guilty pleasure has always been coke with lime; using cola zero and mywater lemon-lime, we are able to make a delicious alternative.  Even if you aren’t a pop drinker, this is still a gadget to consider.  My favorite sodastream drink is juice spritzer using sparkling water and whatever juice we have available.  As well as, Sodastream now has Mywater, which is an all natural,unsweetened flavor enhancer (Click here to read the...

His&Her Tech Review: Is the @TMobile @HTC Sensation 4G appealing for both sexes? #giveaway

My husband & I are like night & day when it comes to many things.  To him technology is a hobby and to me it is a means of getting from point A to point B.  As a mom & blogger, I live and breathe technology yet I don’t always pay attention to more than what makes my life easier.  He on the other hand does research on all the newest tech “toys” for fun in great detail.  With all that being said that is what makes phones like the HTC Sensation 4G stand out, the ability to appease both of us in different ways.   HTC Sensation 4G Tech Specs (click here) To learn more about HTC, visit their website Not sure what phone is best for your needs?

Synopsis NEW GIRL (working title) is a new single-camera comedy from Liz Meriwether (“No Strings Attached”) that features a young ensemble cast and takes a fresh and outrageous look at modern male/female relationships.   JESS DAY (Zooey Deschanel, “(500) Days of Summer”) is an offbeat and adorable girl in her late 20s who, after a bad breakup, moves in with three single guys.

@sneakychef to the Rescue #giveaway (includes #glutenfree & allergyfriendly)

In my house, I make no excuses for healthy eating.  I have raised my boys from homemade baby food.  Along the way, I have enjoyed teaching them the importance of healthy eating.  Our motto: food is fuel.  ”Mom, but I’m not hungry” “That’s okay, but you won’t have energy for the fun stuff later” What do you know they are miraculously starving.  The boys are healthy eaters, but they all have their quirks.  How they don’t like sweet potato fries is beyond me, but I find a way to sneak in the sweet potatoes My 4 yo & 2 yo love salads.  however, my 6 yo was adamant that he didn’t like salads, but one day he did.  It is amazing how from day to day their favorite (or least favorite) can swap sides.  I...
