If you are looking for a healthier alternative to the usual ice cream, you should seriously try Ciao Bella’s latest products called Adonia. Adonia is Greek frozen yogurt. I have to admit, like usual, I was skeptical (noticing a pattern?) because I tried Greek yogurt and honestly hated it. My husband loved it, but he eats everything.

I have to say, Adonia Greek frozen yogurt is not at all like regular Greek yogurt. I found it to be so delicious, this could definitely replace any frozen treat I usually indulge in. Now, it is true I am a diabetic, but I admit, I sneak some ice cream in now and then and not the sugar free kind. While Adonia has sugar in it, it is also low in fat.

Here at our humble abode, we tried three flavors; Wild Blueberry, Raspberry and Mango. I really can’t tell you which was the favorite. Everyone liked all of them equally. Yes, they are that good!

The texture was smooth and creamy and the flavor was perfect and mouth-watering!

We were getting a little frustrated trying to find Adonia, the night we went on the hunt for it, though. It was not available at either store listed on the Ciao Bella Website. We actually had to go to 5 different stores to track it down. I would definitely suggest calling a store first to see if they carry it since it is so new. If your favorite retailer does not carry it, I would suggest asking them to. This is so good you don’t want to miss out!

I love when learning and play come together nicely. With the Eitech Solar Construction kit, play and science meet. The toy allows the child to build several different toys from a windmill to helicopter that run on solar power. This not only allows for play, but a teaching moment between parent and child.

The toy is made in Germany, from high quality metal. It includes the solar motor, solar panel, over 300 pieces and tools. I have to say, there are a lot of little tiny pieces. This toy is definitely not intended for young children.

I think I may have been more excited to play with it than my daughter. Jaeda, who is 9, was curious, but when she saw how many pieces there were, she got a tad overwhelmed. I had her help me put it together by finding the pieces I needed. The book that came with the set was just pictures and offered no written instruction. At first, I was worried I may not be able to put it together, but I actually found it easy to understand just through pictures.

It took a little while, but we finally got it together. It was fun to work together as a team and make something really neat! We decided to make the car.

I loved how the construction set came with all the tools needed. No need to hunt around hubby’s toolbox! I also felt the quality was very high with this toy. Here is our little race car just before we added the solar panel:

The moment of truth came when we took it outside to see if it worked. Unfortunately, the day we built it, it was pretty overcast and it didn’t work very well. However, that didn’t stop us! We took it out again on a very sunny day and my daughter and I were super excited to see it go!

My daughter loves science and with all the talk about solar power, and some of our residents in our city adding the panels to their homes, this was the perfect way to not only talk about it, but demonstrate it!

The toy is recommended to ages 8 and up.
