Mazda5 Grand Touring Wrap UP!
I had the ultimate pleasure of driving a Mazda5 Grand Touring to Yosemite. The Mazda5 is a true delight to drive!! The car drives smoothly! The handling is amazing. It drives like a small car with all the features of a large family car. The greatest feature for me? 25.5 miles per gallon MOUNTAIN driving!! That’s OUTSTANDING!! I love the amount of room in this car!! 3 rows of seating!! We took the Mazda5 on our day trips, 4 adults and a toddler in a carseat and still room in the back for picnic lunch, stroller and day packs! More to love:Sunroof. Double Sliding Doors (the greatest invention ever!!) EASY to get to carseat anchors. (Mom’s will really love this feature! No crawling over seats!!) Storage under the seats in the middle row. Storage between the middle seats. Cup holders for all. 2 charging ports.MP3/iPad hook up.Heated seats and side mirrors.Air vent for the backseats.5 speed automatic.3 Homelink buttons and a compass in the rear view mirror! Price? $24,470 SWEET!!! Disclosure I received a complimentary week driving the Mazda5 for the purpose of my review. (They aren’t letting me keep this one either I checked AGAIN!!) No other compensation was provided. The opinions…

Multi-tasking in the car…….. not a good idea!!
Parents are more likely to drive distracted when traveling with kids in the car. In a new study released by the American Academy of Pediatrics, 90 percent of parents admitted multitasking while driving. Distracted drivers are more likely to get into crashes while driving their vehicles, especially while driving children between the ages of one and 12. The survey looked at the number of behaviors distracted drivers engaged in when traveling with children. A total of 618 participants participated in the survey. Respondents were asked to indicate whether or not they had engaged in driving texting, self-care, childcare, phone use, entertainment and directions while driving. Ninety-three percent of all respondents admitted to engaging in all of the activities. Consolidating many activities into one user interface can reduce the need to multitask. While certain activities like grooming and self-care can’t be combined into a single user interface, there are quite a few things that can be combined into one system. A bluetooth carkit is an example of one of those things. A system can combine many of these activities, which can cut down on fumbling. The multi-touch capacity screen unit syncs smartphone devices, MP3 musicplayers, and tablets altogether in a single…

Yosemite! The perfect place to camp!
Yosemite in May is spectacular!! I wanted to share some of my pictures! We drove the Mazda5 packed to the gills! Traveling with a two year old means we took a LOT more than last years camping trip! Diane, you asked if I meant camping as in ……. sleeping bag…. tent…. yup!! We do cheat a little and use air mattresses. Let me tell you what!! I was so thankful to DH for the new sleeping bag he bought me for Mother’s Day!! I was toasty warm!! It was FREEZING at night!! Camping with a toddler also means you have to ignore the dirt……… a LOT of dirt! I want y’all to know Selena and Dan put up that HUGE 10 man tent, inflated the air mattresses, put suitcases in, set up the sleeping bags, filled the bear locker with the food ALL BEFORE I put that STUPID little TINY pink tent together for Alice. Although it is adorable and she had a great time in it, it was a pain in the arse to put together!!

Party TIME!!!
Are you planning a party anytime soon? Or, are you the person in your circle of friends that everyone depends on to host the birthday parties, holiday parties and game night parties? If so, there’s an item that should be at the top of your party supply list that you may not have thought of. That item is the best popcorn popper at WhirleyPopShop.com. Throwing a party can dent the budget if you try buying expensive snack items. There’s also no certainty that those expensive snacks will actually be popular with your guests. Popcorn is an inexpensive snack that most children and adults like. They eagerly anticipate eating it as soon as they smell the aroma generating by popping corn. If you are planning a party with a lot of guests, you may have to pop several batches of popcorn in your Whirley Pop. This gives you a good excuse for using popcorn as part of your table decoration. Incorporate some clear glass jars filled with colored popcorn into your table top display. Add some colorful bowls to the table and be sure to provide an assortment of popcorn seasonings for everyone to experiment with. Be prepared to find your…
