Staying home day after day with my three rowdy boys means that I’m in often in need of a little more sparkle in my life. But when options for entertainment are limited, what’s a mother to do to add a bit of fun to the daily routine?
For me, the answer is the Drinkmate home carbonator! This innovative new carbonation system has one distinct advantage over most home systems…it can carbonate absolutely anything!
Until I met my husband, I only ever cooked rice on the stove. Adding an appliance just to cook rice didn’t make sense in my tiny kitchen! For Jeremy, though, the rice cooker was an essential. And once I saw how easy it was to use, I was a convert.

This ingenious microwave not only features settings for heating beverages, softening butter and more, it even features a clever integrated grill and crisping feature that allows you to grill pizza, sandwiches and more to perfection right in the microwave!

My previous microwave was as basic as basic could be, so upgrading to this stylish stainless steel beauty was a delight. At first glance, it seemed fairly similar to any other modern microwave, but as soon as I opened the door, I saw the difference. The variety of settings was more extensive than any microwave I’ve ever owned. And of course, the special grilling feature and crisping pan added way more versatility. [Read more…]
