N is for New Favorite Drink

By

I am addicted to Sonic's Peach Diet Green Tea. I can get a Route 44 every day from 2-4 p.m. for a little over a dollar. Yum! It's so refreshing! But I don't want to spend $1 a day and I don't really know what's in it, you know what I mean? And I have noticed that the tea tastes kind of skunky most days, which tells me that it's not fresh.

I figured out a way to make my own Peach Green Tea. I brew a small pitcher of green tea, with no sweetener, and put it in the fridge. Then I purchased Mango Peach flavored MiO Liquid Water Enhancer. When I am ready for a glass of Peach Green Tea, I just pour myself a glass of tea and add two squirts of MiO.

It's healthy, pure green tea. Yes, it has an added artificial sweetener (Boo), and I have tried my best to eliminate artificial sweeteners from my diet (mostly aspartame). But, I feel like it's better than buying it from Sonic. At least I know exactly what's in it. It tastes great and it's CHEAP!!!


This still won't replace my usual iced green tea with a squeeze of lemon on those days when it's really hot. But, it's a nice alternative when I am needing something a little sweet.

You should try it!

I'm linking up with Marcy @ Ben and Me. (Somehow I was a week behind, so this is my second Blogging Through the Alphabet post this week.)

    MMmmmm! Sounds very good! I am trying to find things that are a tad healthier if I am going to splurge when going out with the family. Since Sonic is now only a mile from my house, it has become a favorite treat. I'll try the peach green tea! It has to be better for me than the Vanilla cokes I used to love so much! :)

ABCya

By
Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.
