REVIEW: SodaStream

Once upon a time, I told my husband that we needed a soda machine in our house.

It was 3 years ago when we moved in...

fast forward to now and I have one!

Weird.

It's so much better than the kind in the convenience stores because it takes up so little space ;).

It seriously is awesome!

It's a SodaStream.



As soon as it arrived, me and my five-year-old went to experimenting,

then we called a few people to rant about it. 

And followed that with several soda parties-

Everytime someone new came over for a few weeks.

It is so EASY to make your own "pop" (as I like to call it).

 I am a Coke Zero drinker, and I've been known to tip back a few cans of RedBull ;) and the SodaStream version of both of these are definitely comparable to the originals.

The Diet Sprite passed my son's test.

and the Root Beer made a great float.

There was also a Cranberry Raspberry flavored one and I loved it.

I'm going to have to say that Fresca passed the comparison test too.

(though I need my Grandma to come test it out, b/c she is the Fresca expert around these parts)

I can't wait to order more to test out.

 I am also excited to clear up some space in my pantry which is usually full of 24 packs of Coke Zero & Mountain Dew.

Now all I need to store my soda is a little bit of counter space.

It seriously is awesome.

Even my hard to impress husband is a fan!

(Thats how I know for sure something is cool-if it passes the Arin Test...jk)

This makes life easier and better, by helping feed my addiction without having to load all the kids up to go to the convenience store! ;)

Also, a major point here, for all of my readers with food storage, this is the solution to the soft drink gap in food storage! For sure- All you need is water!

Seriously, who wants to survive without Coke?? not a world I want to be in... ;)

PS-I timed myself from start to finish, I made myself a soda in 1 minute 32 seconds :) so much faster and cheaper than running to a store.

BUSY MOMMY LIKES!

REVIEW: Savvy Caddy

When we got married, my husband had a wallet that seemed as old as I am...

(there's a 5 yr difference, it's possible)

It was a bit quirky-ish, so I had to be on my game to find him another one that was "cool" enough to replace the frayed disgusting old one.

I bought him a Nintendo controller type wallet off of eBay...

that was almost 7 years ago.

Now he has several businesses, which require several credit cards, each.

His Nintendo wallet wasn't cutting it.

Enter the Savvy Caddy Slim Design 16 card wallet.

I was on a hunt for something to hold all of his cards. I found this and they were kind enough to get me one to review. Now, he can carry all of his cards AND put his wallet in his pocket! Wowser. He even sat down and didn't have to get up to take out his wallet. ha...

(anybody remember the Seinfeld episode w/ George's huge wallet?)

Arin, my husband, is getting used to actually knowing where to find his cards and be able to carry the wallet constantly.

Check out the difference:

I have more cards than him, w/ all of the different insurance cards, etc... but, I also, never try to put my wallet in my pocket. If Arin ended up not willing to change to this new big boy walllet, I decided that I was going to keep it for myself just to hold all of my insurance cards that aren't necessary everywhere I go, and to keep it wlsewhere. Go figure, he likes it. (guess I need to order another one for me) 

This product makes my husband's life easier and better, which, in turn, makes mine too :)

BUSY MOMMY LIKES!

BUSY DADDY LIKES TOO!
