How Try Something New got started

In an effort to entertain my children as well as have a little fun myself, I came up with the idea of Try Something New Friday in which we get together with friends and neighbors and we try something new. This blog will keep you up to date on what we are currently "trying" as well as what we've done in the past...enjoy!!

Giving kids Mountain Dew...?

With a few kids gone to camp, we are skipping our normal Try Something New Fridays until everyone is back in town but I wanted to tell you about some TSN Friday's that we've already done...and loved!!





I have given talks to a few Mom's groups and encouraged other Moms to try this with their kids. A friend of mine brought this idea home and when talked about things they could try, her husband came up with this one...Trying all the different types of Mt. Dew.

Who knew there were enough Mt. Dew flavors that you could practically make a rainbow!!

You can buy the 20 oz. bottles at the grocery store in the impulse-buy cold refrigerator at the front of the store or at gas stations. You only need one bottle of each flavor!

We invited the neighbors over, poured the pretty drinks and we tried all the different flavors. The kids were very excited that they were able to try the pop they were normally not able to drink due to the caffeine content. After each drink, we rated it on a scale of 1-10...1 being worst and 10 being best. The kids loved being able to have their own opinion of what they liked and disliked...it was fun to see what everyone loved best. Some of the kids liked the blue/purple ones and loved that they were able to finish off the bottle of the ones they liked the best.

After we were done, we went swimming to burn off all the energy we had...a fun time, trying something we would have never tried on our own...sharing our opinions.
