The Environment and Your Car: Protect the Environment While Driving
Electric cars have finally hit the market. While it may seem like you can’t help sustain the environment unless you have an electric car, there are actually plenty of things you can do to be mindful of the earth, even if you still drive a gas-powered car. A few simple adjustments can get you closer to an environmentally friendly mode of transportation, and some of these options may even save you money. They may take a bit of adjustment to your daily life, but the financial savings and earth protection may be worth the adjustment. Here are a few things to consider when striving to protect the earth through your daily transportation habits. Shut Off Your Engine Though it may not seem like a big deal to leave your car running for five minutes as you drop someone off, wait for a train, or sit in a drive-thru line, these small moments of waiting can add up. You waste gas and add a significant amount of emissions to the atmosphere that really add up over the course of time. If you’re not going anywhere, shut off your engine. Many of us also have the habit of driving around before settling…

I Don’t Want To Exercise!!
I don’t WANT to exercise! Seriously, does anyone? Okay, I take that back, people like my daughter, she LOVES to exercise. Run, jog, go to the gym, workout, all of it. She even loves to run in marathons, me? I’ll run if a man with a hatchet is behind me but that’s the ONLY reason that I will run! Wait, that’s not true, I do run after 2-year-old Alice most days. THAT TOTALLY COUNTS!!! I do LOVE running after her and it IS cardio!! That kid can run! If you’ve been around my blog for a while, you’ve heard me say the ONLY exercise that I do enjoy is Yoga. I love everything about Yoga! From the quiet, the soft music, the absolute heavenly feeling of happiness after a class, to the adorable yoga clothing!! I love stretch pants, yoga pants, (DON’T forget your Rakuten rewards! 3% back!) whatever you want to call them. I don’t want the old sweatpants that are thick and look like they could stand on their own. I want PRETTY yoga pants. I want yoga pants with style! I found these super cute Vinyasa Yoga Capris over at Sweaty Betty. Lovin’ this site!! The name, Sweaty Betty, that cracks me up! But, more…

French for Kids: Allons Danser! (Let’s Dance!)
I’m in the car, a LOT. I’m in the car with Alice almost daily. I like to introduce her to new music as much a possible. I want Alice to have an appreciation for all sorts of music. Country, Rock, Disco, Oldies, Opera, Foreign Language. I play it all!! Okay, that’s not quite true, I draw the line at rap. Uncle Zac will have to teach her that one. We have a couple of CD’s and DVD’s from Whistlefritz and we just added Allons Danser CD to our collection. This is a FUN upbeat CD. Allons Danser! (Let’s Dance) is so fun I find myself listening to this one when I’m in the car ALONE!! I can not speak, nor understand French. BUT, the first song on the CD is: Quand Je Serai Grand (When I’m Big) makes me sing along. POORLY, mind you… like I said I can’t speak French, but it’s such a fun song, I try anyway. One song Alice and I do sing along to is: Le Vieux MacDonald (Old MacDonald) This song we actually do pretty darn good with!! This is a language learning CD. This entire CD is fun-filled and performed by acclaimed French artists Marie-Louise Desage and Didier…

I have the cutest review for you today and YES! there are pictures of my three Grandbabies included!! Tolalu has the best personalized gifts with kids in mind!!! Tolalu products are beautifully designed and high quality. I made placemats for my three Grandbabies and they came out 100% perfect!! Completely adorable!! I couldn’t be more pleased!! Ordering was super easy!! Deciding which pictures to use was the only hard part. First add the name to your placemat, then the photo’s. I did placemats with two photo’s each. Bonus! You can choose photo’s from your computer or from your Facebook page. Once the photo’s were chosen, Tolalu lets you adjust, crop, and/or use one of 14 different filters available. Black and White, cracked, sharpen, old, so many cool effects!! Preview then order. It’s really THAT simple and easy!! The placemats arrived quickly, safe inside a heavy cardboard envelope with more cardboard to keep the placemats from bending. Each placemat was individually packed in a heavy duty plastic enevelope with a cute little sticker closing the plastic. The placemats are the…
