Even though summer is winding up, I still have the urge to stop at ice cream shops don’t you? I love the creamy cold feel and taste of ice cream or yogurt.  I had the opportunity to try Yoplait Splitz and offer my readers a chance to win the prize pack that is pictured below.

Yoplait Splitz is a creamy yogurt.  I enjoyed it.  It taste just like a sundae.  I enjoyed eating straight from the refrigerator but my favorite was frozen. It tasted just like frozen yogurt and I felt less guilty eating it.   I tried the Rainbow Sherbet flavor but it comes  also in Strawberry Sundae and Banana Split.

In the prize pack you will get an insulated cooler bag ( that even has pockets!!) A blanket that is fleece on one side and water resistant on the other & a coupon to get Yoplait Yogurt for FREE!!!

For a chance to win, you can enter three different ways,

• Simply leave a comment with your email address

• “Like” Yoplait’s facebook page here and come back and leave a comment letting me know you “like” them.
• Follow Yoplait on Twitter here and come back and leave me comment letting me know you followed them.

If you want to hurry up and try the yogurt, you can click here to get a .75 cent off coupon.

This prize pack and opportunity to review the product was made available to me by Yoplait through My Blog Spark.  My opinions and thought are my own and have not been paid for.  I was provided a prize pack also to review before giving one away to my readers.

Giveaway is ended.  The winner of this beautiful piece of jewelry is …..  drum roll….

Soda Stream has become an every day countertop appliance that we use in our home.  We love it.  My favorite is the diet cola and the diet lemon lime and my husbands is the grape and the orange.  The kids just drink what ever we make.    I have seen a huge difference in our grocery bill with not buying 2 liters or cans of soda.  Plus, I don’t really throw out that much soda any longer because we make what we want and use it before it goes flat.

The only negative that I have had with the machine is getting the carbonation correct.  But after a quick email to the company they explained to  me to count two seconds for each pump and it worked.   Soda Stream is a great alternative to buying sodas in the stores and paying the high prices and it is also very green for our earth.

Giveaway Ended.

Over the past 8 weeks I have been testing with my family a product called the Soda Stream.  Watch the video below to get an overview of what Soda Stream is.

I can tell you this, the soda is great!! My favorite is the diet cola. I love my diet coke and thought there would not be another soda that would come close to replacing the Diet Coke, well, soda stream did it, their diet soda is awesome. I love the taste and the fact that it doesn’t give any after taste. Another thing about the Soda Stream is that my soda is fresh, no flat soda that has to be poured out. Have you had to pour out a 1/2 used 2 liter and think as you are pouring it out, well there went $1 or more down the drain…… There is no waste with Soda Stream. You make 1 liter of soda (in 30 seconds) and store the unused in the refrigerator for refills. It stays fresh.

Soda Stream is giving away an unit to one of my lucky readers. All you have to do is sign up and visit their site. You will have the chance to come back here each day and sign up by leaving a comment and visiting Soda Stream’s site.

Day 5 sign ups.

Leave your first name, email address and the answer to this question in the comment section of this post.
How much Soda does your family consume during one week?  And do you recycle the soda containers after using them?  Isn’t it great that Soda Machine doesn’t waste plastic and fills our landfields with plastic?

Good Luck!

Winter is coming.  The sky yesterday afternooon when I was driving home was grey.  Just a few weeks ago my drive home would have been filled with sushine in my face and the air conditioner on.  Summer is gone.  But I have friend that has a company that is bringing the sights of Summer and spring into your home all year long.  I would like to share this company with you and give you a chance to have a beautiful print in your home to remind you of bright summer days while winter is creeping up on us. 

Angie has a company called Foto Macro. She is a passionate artist that love to show nature and all of it’s beauty.  She loves to take pictures of nature which I think is beauiful.  I think capturing a moment in time is priceless and my view of nature is that it is a miricle and gift from God.   

As I was talking above about driving home with the weather being dreary, I arrived home and in my office is the picture that Angie sent me. (the one to the left of this post)  It immediately made me smile.  I realized then that something that simple brings joy and refreshment into my life.  It reminds me of my blessings.  When I look at Foto Macro, I see them as a picture that you would put at your desk at work, in a childs room near their reading area or study area, or another great way to share these pictures is to give them to a shut in that don’t get to go and enjoy the outdoors and only gets to see the walls around them.  She has 5×7, 8×10, 8×12, 11×14, 12×18, 8×8, 12×12, 16×20, 20×30, etc so you can use them in any setting in your home or office.

I went to the grocery store last night and stocked up.  My total savings on my bill was $84.35.    That was  57% of the total bill.  It would have been a higher percentage but I had to buy raincoats for my boys to go to the GA – tenn (see who is in caps, hehehe) game, and I bought some clearance items to sell on ebay.  So I am very pleased with the 57% savings.

While I was at the grocery store I ran across a peelie on Ranzoni that I wanted to share with you.
