    zoku

    To me this looks like a great idea, what a neat way to make cool treats at home in minutes!

    Just a few of my thoughts…

    I was planning to use my Zoku to make low-calorie  pops, however,  you cannot use sugar-free or artificial sweeteners because they do not freeze properly. I think that this information needs to be made clear in the product description on the outside of the box.

    Our first attempt with the Zoku was a bit rough we used vanilla yogurt, chocolate syrup, and a few mini chips.  They tasted GREAT after we were able to release them for the mold, which was a bit tricky.  After a bit more research I discovered that popsicles made with yogurt take longer to freeze, 12-15, instead of the 7-9 for juice popsicles.

    We are still trying different juices and smoothies, but a  recipe book would  be nice. My son, Mason, has food allergies and this product allows me to control what ingredients we use for safe and tasty treats. I love the idea of using fresh ingredients and nothing artificial!

    Overall, I think this is a neat product, easy to clean, and fun for the kids and I.

    Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.


    Why Geocache?

    One of the allures of geocaching is its universality. Virtually anyone can geocache; participants come from all walks of life and fitness abilities, from kids and entire families to solo adventurers, large groups and the elderly. Perhaps propelled by camaraderie first and sport second, geocaching offers a larger cultural significance as well. Though technology has created a global bridge of sorts, it has also created a divide by segregating interpersonal communication. Geocaching brings people together, bonding them via technology and sport. It is, by all accounts, revolutionary.

    To make a long story short Geocaching = a GPS treasure hunt and my kids LOVE it!  I have been using the  Geocaching app on my iPhone for our family treasure hunts.
