Infused Water Bottles

Making infused water couldn't be easier. Yes making infused water in a picture is easier and makes a lot more but in an infuser bottle you can change up the flavor of your water each day. Our family loves both water and infused water. I lean more towards infused water just because I have never really enjoyed water all that much.

Love all of the water bottle out there to infuse water in, but some are just better then others. You don't have to pay alot for a good one but you do need to look for several things. First of all that your infuser hold the fruit you want to infuse in the infuser cartridge, and that you are comfortable actually using the bottle you are going to use.

This one has several pieces that are new to me, that make this a little different then other water bottles. Even though I like this one I personally like the kind that I don't have to open up all of the way to get a drink. I like them with a mouth piece which this does not have, but I do like that this one does not leak during use.

You can find this infuser water bottle on Amazon.

Water is the staff of life
The average adult human body is comprised of about 65% water. It regulates body temperature, protects body organs and tissues, lubricates joints, and flushes out waste products. However, the human body expels water through respiration, perspiration and waste elimination. If you do not replenish your body's water volume, all of the vital processes suffer. Nutrients and oxygen don't get carried to the cells. The liver can't filter out impurities, which then weakens the immune system. And weight begins to pile up on you. 
Fruit infusion makes water interesting again
Many people don't drink water because it doesn't tantalize the taste buds. Trim Evolution Water Infusion Bottle puts "zing" into your drinking water. By adding great-tasting fruits, vegetable and herbs to water, you treat your body to the hydration that it needs and get a healthy, delicious beverage at the same time. 
Infused water does more than just taste good
Many fruits, vegetables and herbs have natural diuretic, cleansing attributes. In addition to keeping your body hydrated, these types of infusion recipes will stimulate your body to flush harmful toxins from your body. Your body begins working more efficiently, weight loss accelerates, and you begin to feel good all over. 
Trim Evolution Water Infusion Bottle is the most reliable accessory for making delicious infused-water recipes
Made of shatter-resistant, leak-proof Tritan plastic, Trim Evolution withstands everything that life throws at the two of you, and still delivers healthy water-based refreshment at a moment's notice. Your special blend of fruit-infused water will be delicious and invigorating from start to finish.

Back to School with Netflix

I waited a bit longer to post my post because my kids didn't start school until after Labor Day so I thought it only fitting to post this for the Northern Part of America to coincide with our first day of school.

MC2CARD

My girls are all into Project Mc2 which started on August 7th having gobbled up all of the episodes and are awaiting more.

What Netflix has to say about Project Mc2
Project Mc² is a fresh take on the typical tween girl show you’re probably familiar with. The series has S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) organically woven throughout the storyline, making it fun and breaking the stereotype that being smart, funny, stylish and capable are mutually exclusive. Project Mc² reflects today’s tweens in a relatable way, giving girls four empowered female leads to look up to.
And the offspring of favorite fairytale characters in Ever After High's new Way Too Wonderland adventure (debuting Aug. 14) empower kids to write their own life stories. Whether Royal or Rebel, your actions, behaviors and choices are your own to make.

Get the little ones ready for new experiences with shows like the Netflix original Dinotrux from DreamWorks, premiering Aug. 14 -- prehistoric hybrid dinosaur-construction vehicles team-up to use their different skills to solve problems and show that even the most uncommon of duos, like Ty-Rux and Revvit, can form friendships of a lifetime.

What are you favorite back to school movies or shows?
What MarksvilleandMe has been watching lately.

We were really busy in August between personal issues, several deaths in our family as well as a close friends dieing, on top of the regular getting ready for back to school and college stuff. 

For us school starts in the morning matter of fact it is now 3:28 AM the morning of. I have a few calls to make after the children get on the bus and then it will probably be a very busy day for both myself and my girls for the first day back. 

Along with some of the above suggestions from Netflix, we watched these movies and shows in August. Project Mc2, Spooksville, Hart of Dixie, Z Nation, Bitten, That 70's Show, Supernatural, Richie Rich, Monster Squad, and a whole host of others. We have a big family with lots of shows they like to watch so we divvy it up. Since the kids were out playing most days they only had evenings and mornings to catch up on their shows, but most of the time they put it on watched a few minutes, and were out the door. Only very few did they watch all the way through, but that will change as the weather gets cooler, more days inside, with hot cocoa, snuggled under a blanket, enjoying a movie together as family.
