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.

One of the best crime shows out there is Criminal Minds.  Its a tad gory since it is stories about serial killers.  I find the show very interesting, and you have a hard time guessing the endings.  They did a great job over the last season or so when they added new characters.  Not only do you get caught up in the drama or the crimes, you also get catch up in the drama of the characters’ life.  This is one of those shows that you catch once, and you find yourself addicted.

Blood Diamond is set during the Sierra Leone’s bloody civil war in 1999.Danny (Leoardo DiCaprio), a smuggler who sells “blood” diamonds used to finance terrorists, meets a local fisherman (Djimon Hounsou) who has found a 100 carat diamond that he has hidden. His family has been torn away from him, and Danny and him strike a deal. Danny gets the diamond and Soloman (the fisherman) will get his family back.

This movie is rated R and for very good reason. It is very violent. The part I have a hard time wrapping my head around is that this could still happen in the world today. The first 30 minutes of the movie are slow. I almost turned it off. However, it is well worth sticking around for the whole movie. The action is very riveting. The ending is fairly predictable, but it still is a movie well worth seeing. After watching this movie, you will never look at a diamond the same again. I know I will be asking if my diamonds are conflict free from now on.
