Zevia logo250 Zevia Natural Sodas Review and Giveaway! With all the junk additives to foods lately, I find myself leaning more and more towards items that are more natural. We are not totally all-natural consumers but when I find something natural that my entire family enjoys, I go for it!

I was extremely pleased to sample Zevia sodas with my children. They are all-natural, no calorie sodas flavored with Stevia. If you think you have never used Stevia, you might be wrong as many lip protection products are also sweetened with it. Stevia is an herb native to South and Central America, and grown now in Asia. For centuries, native Americans of Paraguay and Brazil called it “sweet leaf” and used it to sweeten foods. Stevia helps with dental hygiene, recent studies found it has antioxidant properties and other health benefits, and it contains no calories.

Zevia sodas are also sweetened with a product called Erythritol, a natural sweetener found in many fruits and vegetables.

It is extracted from those sources by a natural fermentation process. The erythritol in Zevia® exists in the same form – unchanged – as it does in plants and vegetables. Although erythritol is classified as a sugar alcohol, erythritol does not cause the gastrointestinal issues associated with other polyols like xylitotl, malitol, and sorbitol.

Zevia7Wet500 300x93 Zevia Natural Sodas Review and Giveaway! We were sent for review the six can mixed pack containing one each:

Zevia® Natural Cola
Zevia® Natural Ginger Root Beer
Zevia® Natural Orange
Zevia® Natural Twist (lemon-lime)
Zevia® Natural Black Cherry
Zevia® Natural Ginger Ale

All of the sodas were delicious and only had a slight “different” taste. It’s not really a diet taste, actually, it is hard to explain. Because you are not tasting high-fructose corn syrup, aspartame and all the other nasty regular soda ingredients, you might imagine a diet taste but it’s actually just a nice sweet taste. The sodas are just plain yummy! I can NOT drink regular diet sodas because they leave a horrible aftertaste and trigger my migraines. I had no problem at all with Zevia. They tasted great and didn’t cause a single headache but I was still able to enjoy a 0 calorie soda. My absolute favorite was the Black Cherry. It has the nicest Black Cherry flavor with out being too sweet. It is delicious! My children loved all of the flavors and I had a hard time keeping them out of them so I could taste each one. They were devoured quickly. My son is an avid root beer fan and he said that he LOVED the Ginger Root Beer and was upset that we didn’t have more.

BUY IT!

Use the handy dandy store locator to find a store near you. I found a Kroger near us that carries Zevia so I will definitely be stocking up!

Purchase by the case online!

One lucky reader will win their very own mixed 6-pack of Zevia soda!

wallpaper 800x6001 300x225 The Vampire Diaries: Week 3

By now it’s surely no secret that I love The Vampire Diaries and have a major crush on both Stefan and Damon. I can’t even decide which I like best so I’ve agreed (with myself no less) to just ♥ them both! Hmm, kind of like Katherine and her inability to choose just one. :0)

Anyway, among the seriousness and drama of a Vampire show there are some totally funny, hilarious moments. One of my most favorite scenes was after Stefan went on a human-blood binge in which he really cut loose and showed a goofy side, then got back on the wagon, so to speak. His brother, Damon and Elena had the following conversation:

Damon: He’s back to boring, straight laced, and off the junk. You successfully cured him of anything that was interesting about his personality.

Elena: Don’t forget who helped me.

Damon: I hate myself.

HEHEHEHE some of the lines crack me up. There are many more and some funnier but I’d be here all night writing the entire dialog so I picked one that stuck with me.

You have go to get the Complete First Season – which arrives on Blu-ray/DVD on August 31. it is SO good! And don’t forget, new episodes begin airing Sept.9. WOO HOO I can’t wait!

moon dough barn1 300x300 Moon Dough Barnyard Review My 3 year old daughter and I have been having a wonderful time playing with Moon Dough Barn Set by Spin Master. Moon Dough is soft and has a marshmallow type texture. It is hypo-allergenic and wheat-free so it is safe for most children. In the Barn Set, you receive 3 colors of dough, white, blue and yellow and you can purchase other colors separately. These colors are more than enough to ge you started and you can also mix the yellow and blue to get a night light green.

My daughter and I have a great time molding the dough into different shaped animals, fence pieces and hay bales. And when we accidentally had two colors in the mold at the same time, they turned out even cuter!

moondough9 271x300 Moon Dough Barnyard Review

While the Moon Dough has a marshmallow like texture, it also has a slight sandy texture. it comes in small chunks that can be easily rolled into a ball. We had no trouble at all molding it. And it wasn’t nearly as messy as I thought it would be. All I had to do to get the bits off the table was roll a small ball of dough and use it to “grab” the pieces. I would recommend placing a piece of newspaper down though for even easier clean-up.

Another thing that surprised me is that is is not wet. AT ALL! It is completely dry to the tough and never dries out or gets hard like most molding doughs. It is soft and pliable.

We had so much fun playing farm together and will most likely be making it a weekly play date!
