    Subway Sandwiches Get Spicy #BBQSeoulFood #Giveaway

    Subway sandwiches have become a road trip tradition with my family. It’s true. The running joke is that my kids can spot a Subway in any city we go to, and so far, we’ve tested this Subway superpower quite a bit this year! The girls can be half asleep staring at an IPOD when suddenly we hear – “SUBWAY!” Every time we take a road trip, my daughter asks to stop at Subway! Sometimes we barely start out on the road when she begins asking for Subway. Our most recent trip to Quebec was no exception. After we spent our…

    Bike Safety FOR Your Bike and a Master Lock #Giveaway ARV $100

    Bike safety is all over the internet, but it’s usually about how to be safe while riding a bike. I get it. Bikes appear safe, but all it takes is one fall without a helmet to do serious damage. I am vigilant about helmets, of course. BUT… do we ever think about bike safety in the literal sense? As in, the safety of our bikes? I do. We paid good money for a couple of our bikes, so I want to make sure we keep them protected even when we travel. Bike Safety – Be Sure Your Bike is Protected So…

    Are you ready for sleep away camp yet? Are your kids counting the days until the end of school and the start of a week of freedom? I will admit our summer planning is a bit less orderly than previous years. My oldest daughter has taken a job at the end of August and she’s asked to do a sleep away camp that is two weeks long at the start of August. That is a bigger commitment for us, and for her, and I imagine we’ll be packing a fair bit more this year as a result of the two week…

    My Top Six Mother’s Day Gifts From Hallmark #Giveaways

      Mother’s Day is a hard time of year when you are missing your Mom. Three years ago I lost my Mom. I miss her every day and this time of year I miss her so much my heart hurts.
