Many of you have been visiting me for a while and have been with me through all of the chaos that is my life. There’s always a mix of good, bad, fun, happy, sad, mad, stress, excitement and pretty much every emotion that you can think of. That’s because it’s life…everyday is something new! I like to think of it as a new adventure each day and just try to roll with whatever happens.
I learned many years ago that with two young boys, it’s counterproductive to get stressed out. While I love making to-do lists and schedules, I can quickly pivot and change gears whenever a situation comes up. As a mom, I wear about 100 different hats in a day and have been known to wear a cape every now and again!
That’s right, there’s nothing boring about me….I am far from bland!
Naturally when I am looking for tasty refreshment I want something that’s delicious—something that’s flavorful. You know I am grabbing a bottle of Sparkling Ice!
I have a couple of favorites that I will grab based on my mood. With over 20 fruit flavors, including Classic Lemonade, you’re pretty much guaranteed to find the one for you. Sparkling Ice is a fizzy, flavorful, and Not Bland beverage—without all the calories. With so many different flavors, I simply choose based on my mood. I get a big pop of fruit flavor without having to worry about my waistline.
The hot days of summer are just around the corner. It’s time to stock up on that tasty refreshment and have plenty of your favorite flavors handy so you have fizzy flavor handy when you get thirsty. Of course you’ll want some handy when you have guests over too. Remember the 4th of July is just around the corner. If you have any festivities planned, be sure to have plenty of cold refreshment ready for your party guests!
