I shared with you awhile back that I am addicted to soda. I do worry about the cost and the effect of my soda consumption on my carbon footprint.
Enter Sodastream. Sodastream allows me to turn tap water into sparkling water in under 30 seconds. Sodastream lets me fizz to my taste and add the flavor of my choice to make my favorite drink. It’s simple to clean and reuse.
With Sodastream, there are no more empty bottles and cans to recycle or discard, and none of the energy wasted by transporting billions of gallons of soda every day.
SodaStream offers soda concentrates in flavors like orange, diet root beer, grape, ginger-ale, diet pink grapefruit, energy, diet cola, cranberry raspberry, and diet lemon lime.. My favorite? Rootbeer. Each mix makes 50 servings or the equivalent of thirty-three 12 ounce cans.
Did I mention that it’s easy to use? First of all it comes already assembled so that you can use it right away. For someone like me that’s a bonus.
I bet you’d like one yourself wouldn’t you. Well I have good news. The people at Sodastream have offered to give one of my readers one for their very own.

The FREE breakfast will be served from 6:00 – 9:00 a.m. Kids must be accompanied by a parent. Child must be present to receive offer.
Remember breakfast is only one part of the equation. Throughout the year review test taking strategies with your student. I know that students in my school have access to a website that helps them prepare to do better on these tests. Start practicing several months before the big day.
You should also make sure your student gets a good night’s sleep the night before the test. Everyone does better when they’ve had enough sleep.

If you watched the Oscars on Sunday, then I hope you didn’t miss The View on MONDAY. Consider it the day after the Oscars dish party!! It Isn’t over till the co-hosts have spoken! Guest co-host Vanessa Williams (“ABC’s Ugly Betty”); Day of “Hot Topics”; co-host Sherri Shepherd Skyped live from Hollywood post-Academy Awards and shared her Oscar experience. If you missed the show Monday then you also missed Lady Antebellum perform. Fear not though because you can always watch The View Recap available at http://theview.abc.go.com/
TUESDAY, MARCH 9 – Guests -Andy Garcia and his daughter Dominik Garcia-Lorido (“City Island”); Elissa Stein and Susan Kim (author, Flow: The Cultural Story of Menstruation).
I can’t make these things up people. The book is about a normally taboo topic, and contains the surprising-and sometimes horrifying-history of cultural reactions to menstruation
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10 – Guests: Forest Whitaker (“Our Family Wedding”); Jesse Ventura (author, American Conspiracies). At the risk of dating myself, let me say that I remember Jesse when he was a wrestler. His career certainly has a lot of twists and turns because he was also the Governor of Minnesota at one time. He now hosts the show American Conspiracies. His new book, by the same name, investigates government secrets and corruption.
THURSDAY, MARCH 11 – Sir Elton John will be sitting with the women at the table and partaking in “Hot Topics”; Guest – Eric McCormack (“Who Is Clark Rockefeller?”). I’m sorry, if you need another reason to watch OTHER than the fact that Elton John will be on then I just don’t know what else to say. I LOVE Elton John. He is a very talented individual and I can only hope that the ladies will encourage him to sing something, anything.
FRIDAY, MARCH 12 – Co- Host Kate Gosselin is back and will join the women and the return of “The View: Fashion Friday” with designer Carolina Herrera. The thing about Kate is you either love her or you don’t. People who wanted her husband to stand up to her were angry when he walked out on her. Let’s just face it no one has half-way feelings about Kate.
So make a standing date with the ladies of The View. You won’t be sorry.
“I am a participant in a Mom Central campaign for ABC Daytime and will receive a tote bag or other The View branded items to facilitate my review.”
