Fyrflyz

You may have seen my post about Fyrflyz a couple of weeks ago, but I wanted to tell you a little bit more! We had another little party with my babysitter and her friends at our house. We played a ton with the Fyrflyz but aside from spinning them in circles, we also decided to play around with them in another way…

We took the Fyrflyz and opened the camera shutter and drew around each other, this what we came up with! It was so much fun because you cannot see what the end result will be like until it is over. So you are just writing in the air and hoping for the best!

Some of the Fyrflyz have a flashing light that changes colors which made for a cool effect in the pictures because it shows all of the colors.

We all took turns trying to write our names, which turned out to be not so easy! Then, of course, we played with them the way they were intended and there was a ton of laughter and chatter about which shapes were the coolest! Some of the kids’ were really, really good at making fun shapes!

At the end, we printed up some pictures of each person playing with the FyrFlyz to send home with them. We tried some pictures in the light too but the ones in the dark are just way more fun!

Join the soda club

Recently I decided to stop drinking soda, reading the side of the can and all of the additives made me feel sick to my stomach. I cannot believe that I am drinking all of these chemicals, and I really can’t believe that I am paying so much to do it!

Enter Soda Stream! I have heard so much about the Soda Stream and how it allows you to make your own soda at home, without all of the additives.

Fountain Jet - Soda Starter Kit

The Soda Stream is so cool! You fill the carbonating bottle up with ice cold water and attach it to the Soda Stream, press the carbonation button according to how carbonated you like your drinks and unscrew the bottle. Simply add in the flavor that you want and mix gently. That’s it! Your very own soda for around .50 cents a can!

Not only does it cost less, it also helps the environment because you are generating less waste. You don’t have multiple cans or bottles each day to throw away (or hopefully recycle); in fact you don’t have much waste in the long run either, the only waste that you will have is the flavoring bottles when they are gone (each flavoring bottle is equal to 33 cans of soda).

There are so many different flavors to choose from; Cola, Sparkling Naturals (which are like carbonated juices), energy drinks, Dr. Pete (compare to Dr. Pepper®), Cream Soda, Ginger Ale, Grape and the list goes on! They have Diet drinks, naturally sweetened and regular sodas, something for everyone in your family.

As a family we are in love with the Soda Stream! The boys’ really like it because they are not allowed to have regular sodas because they make Moose way too hyper, but they can have the Soda Stream because for some reason it doesn’t effect him the same way. Jason and I love it because it tastes great, saves money and seems like a healthier option to us.

You can find a retailer near you and check it out!

LOWER YOUR ALEXA RATING!

Alexa is a listing of all sites on the Web, sorted by traffic… The closer to #1 you are, the better. For instance, Google is #1, Facebook is #2, YouTube is #3, etc. The traffic rank is based on traffic data from millions of Alexa Toolbar users and other, diverse traffic data sources.

This means that the more visitors and comments you get from Alexa Toolbar users, the lower your score!

Here’s how it works:

1. In order to participate, you MUST have the Alexa Toolbar (having one also greatly helps lower your score.) You can download it in just seconds HERE

2. Please follow each of the hosts in the #1 and #2 spots on Google+ or GFC. Make sure to leave a comment letting each host know that you are following her. If you’re already following us on Google+, please follow us on another social media linked from our homepage (twitter, facebook, etc.) and leave a comment to let us know you did.

3. When you visit a blog, in order for the Alexa and bounce rate to drop you MUST allow the page to fully load then click a second page. Following and commenting are not required but are a nice gesture!

4. Follow any other blog on the list that you’d like. If someone else visits and comments on your blog, please consider doing the same for them. It’s the nice thing to do. =)

5. Add the Hop Button to your blog if you’d like (it’s appreciated but not mandatory.)

6. Feel free to tweet or share this however you’d like. The more people that know about the hop means more potential followers and a LOWER ALEXA SCORE for you!

Every Monday a new linky will be posted and will stay open for 48 hours. Join in on the fun!
