Since my husband's birthday is in December, I went with a SodaStream at home soda maker. What a perfect gift for the soda addict that he is. I chose the<a href="http://www.csnstores.com/SodaStream-1017512015-SDA1005.html"> Genesis Bundle in Chilly Red</a> that came with the main unit, 2 reusable specially designed 1 liter bottles, a CO2 canister (which happens to be refillable), and a sampling of their soda line. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-12Fhaw7iTxg/TV6GlRTfa2I/AAAAAAAAA5U/SHMxzZAIMls/s1600/sodastream.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" j6="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-12Fhaw7iTxg/TV6GlRTfa2I/AAAAAAAAA5U/SHMxzZAIMls/s1600/sodastream.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I was so excited to give him this gift that I can't believe I actually waited 'til his birthday to give it to him. He was very impressed with the soda maker and was also super excited to be able to make his own soda.<br />
<br />
The instructions were very easy to follow. We inserted the CO2 canister, screwed on the bottle of water and pressed the button the specified amount of times to carbinate the water. The directions say the water must be chilled but we've used water right from the tap with no problems.<br />
<br />
What's nice about this at home soda maker is that you can control the fizz! I like more carbination and the rest of the family prefers less. I also like that it's more enviromentally friendly than buying bottles from the store, not to mention, cheaper! Along with the soda machine, I ordered a 1 gallon box of Dr. Pepper soda syrup from <a href="http://www.samsclub.com/sams/homepage.jsp">Sams Club</a> online. Since the concentrates are different for different soda's, we had to play around a bit with the ratio. The box of Dr. Pepper did, however, say 5 parts carbinated water to 1 part syrup. <br />
<br />
The CO2 canister is refillable and can be filled at local soda distributors or paintball/airsoft stores.<br />
<br />
I highly recommend this SodaStream for any soda or seltzer drinkers! This is well worth the money!Allisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16475702175095605831noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372850263487173756.post-41802246416279463822010-11-28T19:46:00.000-05:002010-11-28T19:46:49.244-05:00Upcoming CSN Stores ReviewAs a CSN Stores preferred blogger, I've been given the opportunity to review another great product from one of their 200+ online stores. I love working with CSN Stores! They have fantastic customer service and great products from <a href="http://www.tvstands.com/">tv tables</a> to <a href="http://www.csnstores.com/Coffee-Makers-C419252.html?redir=coffee+makers&rtype=7">coffee makers</a>.<br />
<br />
For Christmas this year, my father in law asked for a Keurig. Me, being a smarter shopper than that, found this great <a href="http://www.csnstores.com/Hamilton-Beach-49970-HMB1223.html">single cup coffee maker</a> on <a href="http://csnstores.com/">CSN Stores</a> that I have to get for him. It's tons cheaper and so are the<a href="http://www.csnstores.com/asp/keyword.asp?keyword=coffee+pods&command=dosearch&matchtype=&keywordvalue="> pods</a> that it uses! I can even get <a href="http://www.csnstores.com/asp/keyword.asp?keyword=tea+pods&command=dosearch&matchtype=&keywordvalue=">tea pods</a> for my mother in law, who is a tea drinker!<br />

EllenRose is a very brave 11 year old cancer survivor. She loves polar bears and this is the cake I made for her. Each bear represents someone in her family, the bears on the top being herself (with the orange ribbon representing leukemia) and her mom and the bears on the board are her little sister Erin (who happens to be one of my son Max's favorite people!) and her dad. The diving bear was a last minute addition. EllenRose loved her cake so much that she wouldn't cut it for a few days and even took the bears off to save. I LOVE it! Happy Birthday sweet EllenRose!

I was so busy this summer that I never really had a chance to get my post done. So...here it is!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwEN2jzp2xoN_rwq6fwywTsPloVKpiJkXVk2gVbsvN0mZjsvuEmU0UZCEPT_2JBUdwtve6VILA4VBu7ViIaXebY0DmBnMIyfYJMENS47YqQT-BCV7zBfsh2rzNooHD5K5VeCviRKRiKs8/s1600/september10+026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwEN2jzp2xoN_rwq6fwywTsPloVKpiJkXVk2gVbsvN0mZjsvuEmU0UZCEPT_2JBUdwtve6VILA4VBu7ViIaXebY0DmBnMIyfYJMENS47YqQT-BCV7zBfsh2rzNooHD5K5VeCviRKRiKs8/s320/september10+026.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I picked this tent out for Luke as his big brothers went back to school leaving him all alone with Mom after having playmates all summer long. I ordered my tent after hours of searching and trying to decide what I wanted to review. <a href="http://www.csnstores.com/">CSN Stores</a> has over 200 different websites selling everything from air compressors to platform beds to kids toys to exercise equipment. CSN Stores offers free shipping on tons of different items, which I absolutely love. More often than not I won't order from a site if I have to pay insane shipping charges. Another feature of CSN Stores I love is they have a low price guarantee! If you see the product you like on another site for cheaper, you just click on the link and follow the steps to let them know. They will match the price to keep your business! Shipping was super quick and Luke's tent arrived via UPS.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t98weYKdogo/TKP4tGj-eeI/AAAAAAAAA1o/E74YVJu8UqQ/s1600/september10+029.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" px="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t98weYKdogo/TKP4tGj-eeI/AAAAAAAAA1o/E74YVJu8UqQ/s320/september10+029.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>The Bazoongi Kids Circus Tent is no longer available at CSN Stores but they do have several other Bazoongi Kids products to choose from including the smaller version of this one the<a href="http://www.csnstores.com/Bazoongi-Kids-SE-CIR-BZG1093.html"> Bazoongi Kids Special Edition Circus</a> Tent. This particular tent is really big and that's why I chose it. I knew that Luke's brothers would want to get in it with him. The dimensions are 61" H x 54" W x 54" D. The entrance is on the smaller side but even I fit inside the thing. It's very cute and colorful.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_t98weYKdogo/TKP9bQ_Hj6I/AAAAAAAAA1w/c7vAF_pby4U/s1600/september10+030.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" px="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_t98weYKdogo/TKP9bQ_Hj6I/AAAAAAAAA1w/c7vAF_pby4U/s320/september10+030.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>The tent itself is made of water-resistant canvas-like fabric and the structure is made of collapsible fiberglass poles. The poles work on an internal rubber band type system and they all snap together. The poles are quite difficult to put together and once they're together, they do easily come apart so this is not for rough housing. The tent comes with a detachable floor and inside the tent fabric are ties to attach it to the pole system. Another criticism I have of this particular product is that it doesn't come with a bag for storage.<br />
<br />
After our first use, one of the poles broke rendering it useless. I called CSN Stores for a replacement and they not only sent me the broken pole, but an entire set of poles for the tent! Overall, Luke loves his tent and has much fun playing with it. It's a bit more involved to get together so if you're looking for a quick put-together-and-play item, skip this one. <br />
<br />
Please check out CSN Stores for all your shopping needs!<br />

It's been a very busy summer for sure and we're still trying to get back into the swing of a routine. I do have 2 previous reviews for you very soon. In the meantime, please check out CSN stores and get a new <a href="http://www.bedroomfurniture.com/Platform-Beds-C90744.html">platform bed</a> ! It's funny, I was just looking on this particular site with my 12 year old son, at the platform beds as he's rapidly growing out of his twin bed. Check out the one we like <a href="http://www.bedroomfurniture.com/South-Shore-3070-23X-TH1261.html">HERE</a>.<br />
