BOO! WAT-AAH! Halloween Giveaway!

25 October 2013

Of all the products I've reviewed here over the years, WAT-AAH is one of my all time favorites. Getting my kids to drink more water is a big issue for me and WAT-AAH helps make it a little less challenging. The bottles are bright and colorful, great for getting kids' attention. It's been a long time since we first tried WAT-AAH, but I know the taste was a huge hit with my crew. WAT-AAH has rolled out something special just in time for Halloween. Check out WAT-AAH Boo and CEO Rose Cameron’s new blog, www.HealthisCool.org.

WAT-AAH!, a brand of functional water for kids and teens, unveils "WAT-AAH! BOO", a limited edition bottle to celebrate Halloween and to promote healthy hydration in support of the Partnership For A Healthier America's (PHA) initiative, whose honorary chair is the First Lady Michelle Obama. On the label, the brand's familiar character, the WAT-AAH! Boy, is portrayed mysteriously in silhouette and screaming, "BOO!" to surprise its audience. He is surrounded by familiar Halloween imagery such as a witch, ghost, haunted house, pumpkin and full moon, each drawn using simple graphic lines. In the spirit of the holiday, a fun and unexpected treatment of PHA's "Drink Up" logo is also featured; it defines the body of a black spider crawling up the web, which serves as a background for the entire scene.

How would you like to win some awesome WAT-AAH for your family! One lucky reader will win a Halloween prize pack fro the great folks at WAT-AAH! The prize packs will include WAT-AAH! bottles, t-shirts, sweatshirts, stickers and more. This is a quick giveaway so your prize will arrive by Halloween! Enter using Rafflecopter below.

Autumn means the onset of soup weather. I love soup. All kinds of soup. I've been under the weather lately and find that potato soup is one of the few things that actually sounds good. This recipe is quick, easy, and easy on the wallet. 

  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 3 cups milk
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
Cook potatoes in boiling water. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain all but about 1/2 cup of the water from the potatoes, then mash them coarsely. Add the milk to the potatoes and simmer. In a separate small pan melt butter then add onion and simmer until onion is transparent. Add flour and seasonings to onion and butter mixture then removes from heat. Mix the roux you've just created to the potatoes mixture then let simmer until it reaches desired consistence, stirring every five minutes or so. Serves four.
