I just tried doing a google search on this awesome water and I can’t find anything about it which is crazy. I decided that the world definitely needs to know about this water.

We originally bought the Clear Excellence® Sparkling Flavored water, because we were having a hard time getting Madison to drink water. The plan was to buy flavored water and see what happens. Actually, this turned out better than we expected. This water is carbonated, so Madison thinks it is soda. (Yes, I am a bad mom and didn’t correct her.) She thinks it is awesome that we buy her soda every time we go shopping. Granted, this isn’t as exciting as say getting a new pair of sexy shoes, but exciting in our house nonetheless).

Madison now drinks water and loves it.  I have tried a few of the flavors (and there are a lot of them), and they aren’t too bad.  Mommy might have to start drinking water now too.  When on sale, I can get a 1L bottle for $.69.  Not on sale they are usually a dollar a piece.  However, if it gets Madison drinking water it is well worth it.

I was just at Courtney Tuttle’s blog, and I know that bloggers are always looking for a sense of direction. Well, this post has everything (except for ads blocking all the content above the fold and a google adsense ad slapped somewhere in the post) that you should NOT do. You deserve a reward if you can even get through This Worst Post In The Universe. When you ask others for a blog review, take note of several of the points that are made here. Enjoy and happy reading!

If you have been Google slapped like myself (not on this blog but my other one was), you probably are trying to find new ways to get your site out there to more people (not that traffic helps PR but linkbacks do). The newest Social Media, Social Networking site out there is EarthFrisk. It is a combination of Digg/Thoof/Sk*rt and MyBlogLog/Blog Catalog. However, you get to choose what you want in your widget (as compared to the latter). You can definitely lose several hours of your days reading posts and watching videos (so make sure you have some free time while viewing). The site itself has several interesting facets to it.

I even enjoyed this:

I know it is so wrong (but very funny). It is hard to get comments. That being said they are running a pretty cool contest right now for cash and prizes (who can turn down a great contest?). Actually, they are running several different contests.

The first contest is for the largest network of friends. Right now, no one has over 80 friends, so you have a chance. First prize will net you $2,000 among some other cool stuff (but the cash should have gotten your attention. It is super easy to enter. First, you need to join (you know, fill in a couple of blanks with your information). Then get all of your friends to join too! The next contest is for the most submission and you can get yourself $500 for winning this one. You can also win by making the most commens on their boards and that will win you $500 too. Lastly, you can win $100 for the best looking/original homepage. Seriously, there is something for everyone to try for. Go check it out!

Being hit by the Google PR dance myself, I found a cool site with buttons that will help you deal with pain. Some of these buttons will really make you laugh out loud. One of my favorites would have to be this one:
