Flavor Your Day

Friday, May 14, 2010 by Lolli 20 Comments

*Giveaway closed. Winners are (from random.org) #6: Jennifer – motherofall6, #14: Safire – Waterfalling Up, and #16: Alyssa – Just Another Day in Paradise. Congrats!!*

We all know that being a mom, no matter how rewarding it is, can be draining. Sometimes we all need a boost, whether it’s a couple of minutes to indulge in your favorite snack in the middle of the day, or something a little “bigger,” like a night out with your girlfriends.

Most evenings, I am beat. The last thing I want to do is get out of the house (in fact, CandyMan used to push me to get out of the house after he got home. I told him that I’d rather lock myself in our room and let him brush the kids’ teeth!). I cherish the few hours of relative peace and quiet in the house after the kids go to bed. However, as much as I love my quiet evenings, I love going out with my friends.

Last month, I was invited by Mom Central to be an Aquafina Flavorsplash Mom, and around the same time I found out that two of the lovely PR ladies (below) that I have worked with many times over the last year and a half were going to be in town to throw a special FlavorSplash ‘Celebrate Moms’ event. And since I knew that many of my local blogging friends from Momz Share were going to be there, too, I couldn’t resist. And it was a blast. Good food, lots of fruit (in the FlavorSplash and out), chatting, and plenty of laughs.

I enjoyed testing the different flavors of FlavorSplash (so far, I think my favorite flavored water is peach mango). I particularly LOVED it with pieces of peach and mango in the glass. Yum! I love to drink water but I often have a craving for something flavorful but not too heavy. I am completely enjoying my FlavorSplash samples. Unfortunately, my kids are drinking them as fast as they come. I guess we have similar taste. AJ loves the Wild Berry (the first sample box that we received last week).

And here’s one of the ways we FLAVORED our night. Yum!

Aquafina Flavorsplash Moms Night Out

Lovely, lovely ladies!

The question of the night was “How do you flavor your day?” Our responses varied from coffee to Dr. Pepper (with little ice) to eating a piece of dark chocolate. And so I am going to ask you guys: how do you flavor your day? What is that little treat (it can be a drink, something to eat, or an activity) that gives you the boost to keep plugging through the day?

Answer the question and I might be sending you a coupon for a free 6-pack of Aquafina FlavorSplash plus two FlavorSplash lip balms (so yummy!). I will pick 3 winners next Friday, May 21. If you’d like to do any extra tasks to earn extra entries you are welcome to. You know the deal. I’m easy to please, as long as you play nice.

PS–don’t want to wait? You can click to download a coupon good toward $1 off a 6-Pack of FlavorSplash.

Disclosure: I am a participant in a Mom Central campaign for Aquafina FlavorSplash and have received various FlavorSplash samples to facilitate my participation. Mom Central will send me a gift card at the end of the program. Additionally, I wrote this post after attending an event sponsored by Aquafina FlavorSplash and Mom Central. I received FlavorSplash goodies and a gift card as a thank you for posting.

    My daughter makes sure my day is well flavored. At the age of 2, she thinks it’s a blast to feed me whatever she’s having! Yum!

    I know what you mean about at night just wanted to stay home and enjoy the quite. Jeff is always telling me to go out more at night. I would have to say that chocolate is what gets me through most days. I think eating chocolate makes me happy. :)

    Every day after the kids are in bed, my husband and I have a special treat. It can be anything, but it’s often Blue Bell ice cream…the best store bought ice cream I’ve ever had! It’s probably not the best for me, but it’s my reward for making it through the day.
