I got an award!...well, awards!

I am so behind right now with my blog! I've been running around here like a chicken with it's head cut off. I've been doing anything and everything you can imagine. My only moments to catch up on here is in the mornings before my boys wake up.

Last Sunday I got awarded the Beautiful Blogger Award twice! Within 30 minutes of eachother! Crazy, I know. But anyway, this is my first award (and second)! The first one came from Jennifer over at SweepTight. She has a great blog where you can find LOTS of sweepstakes, giveaways, and more! The second one I recieved was from Leslie over at Live, Love, Laugh With Leslie. I've posted about her before. She is just an awesome person and is always willing to help out any way she can! So, thank you Jennifer and Leslie! It means a lot to me! :)

RULES:
For the "Beautiful Blogger" award you need to:

Thank & link to the person that gave you the award.
Pass this award on to 15 fantastic bloggers you’ve recently discovered.
Contact their blogs and let them know they’ve won.
State 7 things about yourself.

I'm guessing since I recieved this twice, I should double everything, but sending this to 30 people really doesn't mean as much, so I'm only sending to 15!
I'm giving this award to
1. Mom's Best Bets
2. Coo Coo Courtney
3. Helping Mommy's Win
4. Just Short of Crazy
5. One 2 Try
6. Review Retreat
7. Mommy's Memorandum
8. Simply Stacie
9. Smart and Trendy Moms
10. The Adventures of Paul and Natalie
11. The B Keeps Us Honest
12. Snow White's Blog Shop
13. Bless Their Hearts Mom
14. Frugal Family Fun
15. Emily's Latest

7 Things About Me
1. I played the French Horn for 7 years, and I can still play it now
2. I love traveling and seeing new places (good thing being that hubby is military!)
3. My initials are CG, my hubby is in the Coast Guard, abrv. CG. Ha, I just think it's funny! :)
4. I have 5 step sisters, 1 step brother, 1 half sister, and a brother
5. I have a half German Shephard, half Corgie. He's a very smart dog, and kinda goofy looking! We got him from the Ponchartrain Humaine Society. They found him and his brother on the highway in a box in Baton Rouge. He's a cajun dog. When my mom came to visit when we lived in Louisiana, she also went to NOLA. She found this cool picture. We joke all the time that this is what my dog, Dodger, looks like! Lol :)


6. I am a VERY PROUD TEXAS NATIVE!! Born and raised! I love my state!
7. I have the best mom in the whole world!!! :)

Sodastream Review & Giveaway

This machine is such a great idea. There are those times that I really want a soda, but don't feel like loading up my boys just to go down to the gas station! When I recieved the Fountain Jet Starter Kit, my problem was solved!

Not only is it convenient, but it is super fast! Just fill the bottle with water, twist it on, press the button, twist it off, add flavor and BAM! You've got soda! How neat is that. Everybody who has seen this machine has wanted to see me make soda and then wanted to try it. The soda is pretty good too. Now, it doesn't taste EXACTLY like the real brands, but it's VERY close! I was very satusfied with it.
On top of recieving 10 soda flavors, I also recieved 3 sparkling water flavors! I've had sparkling water before, but these are really good! I don't drink enough water, and with these I am more likely to want to!

There is so much information on the Sodastream website! There's product overview, value, taste & nutrition, environment, and convenience. That website will keep you busy for hours!

Mom's Best Naturals Review & Giveaway

I was thrilled when I learned I was going to be reviewing for Mom's Best Naturals! I recieved two boxes of cereal, Mallow Oats and Honey Grahams. Cereal goes fast in my house, so needless to say, I only got one bowl of each! But they were really good! And obviously my kids and hubby loved them as well! It's always nice to find something that everyone will eat (I have a house ful of picky eaters!).
Mallow Oats

This product contains animal derived gelatin as an ingredient. It may not be suitable for those following a vegetarian, vegan, Kosher, or Halal diet.
•14g of Whole Grain Per Serving
•Made with Whole Grain Oats

My overall rating for the cereal and the company is an  8/10. The shipping was fast, the cereal tasted great, and the packaging was nice. The cereal is healthy, which gives me one less thing to worry about! I used the store locator and found out that Mom's Best Naturals is sold all around where I live! That's great! I think I might be switching my regular cereal with this! Also, you can print a 75 cents off coupon! I LOVE coupons! :)

That's music to my ears.
