{Sponsor Love} CampusBookRentals.com

I may have mentioned a few hundred times that this one is off to college in the fall.
(on one of our campus visits)
Things are sure different than when I went to college.  
I'm thrilled to tell you about our new partner CampusBookRentals.com.
It's a great rental service for anyone who needs textbooks.  There are so many advantages to renting your books with them.  They have a huge selection of new and gently used discounted books, live customer support. flexible rental terms, free shipping each way and you can even highlight in the books! Gotta love that!
  I love that you don't have to hold onto your textbooks when you are done with them. Who looks at them afterwards anyway? Not this lady!
CampusBookRentals.com is also a company that gives back with their 2011 Making a Difference Program.  They have teamed up with Operation Smile, an organization that performs life changing cleft lip surgeries on children whose families cannot afford them.   A portion of the proceeds from every book rented is donated is Operation Smile.
It seems like a win-win situation to me. I know we'll be trying them out in the fall!

{Pinned} Italian Soda Bar

I'm participating in the Pinterest Challenge-Fall Edition hosted by Sheri, Katie, Ana & Erin.
You should get in on this!
I pinned this idea for a DIY Italian Soda Bar here.
Don't they look pretty and yummy?
I was planning on using this at our upcoming graduation party but thought it might be fun for my other daughter's slumber party too (and we could also see how it went over/worked).

My daughter filled in the instructions which were very straightforward: ice, bubbly water, flavored syrup and whipped cream with a straw. Easy peasy!
I was having trouble finding good flavored syrups around town so I ordered mine directly from Torani. They had so many to choose from but I stuck with fruity flavors and vanilla.
I ordered pomegranate, raspberry, lime, blood orange & vanilla for endless combinations.
I also got the pumps for the bottles, thinking it would be a lot easier for the girls to make their own sodas with less mess, that way.
 We used a write on wipe off markers to label their glasses (mason jars from this party).
The birthday girl getting in on the fun.
They were such a big hit, that I used the soda bar again at our family party and I will be re-using this idea at the grad party...maybe even at the next Italian Night?
