As a single mother, work is never “done.” For that reason, there has to be more flexibility than you normally find in traditional colleges and universities. Without online programs, these schools simply make life difficult for a mother trying to earn a degree. Even if you do have evening and night classes, it’s a lot to expect of someone who has multiple obligations, works at a job already and has to take care of the house, even while away from it. Online colleges provide a flexible, motivational way to get an education without the rest of the hassle. Mothers can simply focus on studying and turning in assignments that they need to in order to get the grade. Getting a degree from home offers other benefits as well. For one, you can get a better job.

If you have children already, then you understand the type of strength it takes to work a full day and take care of everything. It’s also the way that tons of mothers get stuck in a routine, unable to get out of their current jobs because they lack the proper qualifications. Education is the one way that mothers can get ahead, not only for themselves but for the families that they support. It really isn’t so different working from home on a degree. More than ever, universities are offering online courses and even entire degree programs that are taught solely online. With the use of amazing new Internet technology, it’s actually more integrated and intelligent than many think. There [Read more…]

Make your own Soda in under 30 seconds!

The Soda Stream Product:

Making carbonated water and soft drinks is simple! Turn tap water into sparkling water in under 30 seconds, with no clean-up. Enjoy the freshness and convenience of homemade soda and protect the environment at the same time. No heavy bottles to carry, store at home or throw away. Fizz to your taste and add the flavor of your choice to make your favorite drink. Simple to clean and reuse. With a variety of colors and silhouettes, you’ll be sure to find a soda maker to match with any decor.

SodaStream is an “Active Green” product, meaning that consumers are actively reducing their CO₂ footprint every time they make soda or sparkling water at home instead of buying it from the store. The more the system is used on a daily basis, the more CO₂ footprint the user actively saves. Using your own soda make means:

• Less packaging waste from cans and bottles.
• Less pollution caused by transport of bottled beverages.

One SodaStream carbonator makes 60 or 110 liters, equivalent to 170 or 310 aluminum cans! When empty, the carbonator is refilled and reused, ready to make more fizzy and tasty soda whenever you want it.

Review by Mom Does Reviews:

I was so excited to receive my Soda Stream in the mail. But, I think my son was even more excited! He carried one of the heavy boxes up 2 flights of stairs to open it. ( He’s only 9, and most of the time complains about carrying groceries up the stairs.) I was very impressed with the packing of the Soda Stream. Everything was secure and protected, nothing could get broken in shipping. I unpacked both boxes and I must admit, I was a little overwhelmed at first. It seemed like there were so many pieces to assemble. Here is what came in my two boxes:

Normally I let my husband assemble things, but I wanted to put it together on my own. If I can put it together, anyone can! The instruction booklet was very thick, that made me nervous at first, until I realized it was in 10 languages. The only pages that applied were the first two. Soda Stream makes it easy for anyone to put it together. It has step by step directions with pictures and with text. If I questioned myself just by looking at the pictures, I read to text too, just to be safe. So, after all my nervousness, it only took my 5 minutes to put it together. The carbonator had to be screwed in just right and the two main pieces put together. That was about it for assembly!

The fun part is making your own soda. The special liter bottles that come with the soda stream need to be filled with tap water to the fill line. You place the bottle under the carbonator and screw it in place. Then you press the button 3 times for average amount of fizz. I wasn’t sure if I had done it quite right, so I pushed the carbonator button about 5 times for our first liter of homemade soda. Needless to say, our Black Currant/pear soda [Read more…]
