My Favorite Road Trip

Do you have a memory from a family road trip that was so much fun that you just can't stop thinking about? And at times just sit and smile about it?!?

Well~I know I have a favorite memory and I would love to share it with you...

Many years ago when my children were younger{we had 3 under the age of 8}we decided to take a road trip from Milwaukee,Wisconsin to Tuscon,Arizona in July. As I had a very good friend that lived out there and she invited us to come stay with her for a few weeks.So we borrowed my parents 4 door Buick with NO air conditioner and got everything loaded up and away we went..Oh yeah~it was hot let me tell you.But one good thing with the windows down the kids couldn't fight~as they couldn't hear each other..LOL

We had so much fun on that trip.as we took our time and stayed at a different hotel every nite.The kids thought that was the greatest thing! As we also got to eat out all the time! We laughed and talked and of course there were many fights.But I am so glad that we all got the chance to be together as a family when we took that trip.

We saw many different things and that was the first time any of us had seen a armadillo in Texas! We saw it on the side of the road and I made my ex turn around so we could see it again and take a picture.That was also the first time that we saw a cactus and a black widow spider! That is a memory I could have lived without...

We all loved it there so much and wanted to move but it just never worked out that way.

A couple weeks ago my ex passed away and I found out that he wanted to be cremated and took back to Arizona. I think that is a wonderful idea as it is so beautiful and I know that he will be at peace there.

RIP DAVID

ValueRays Shoulder Warmer Review & Giveaway! 1/3

ValueRays makes so many great products that I would have a hard time choosing something for myself so I let Anna decide what to send me.As I love surprises~don't you? And~~I was not disappointed.She sent me the ValueRays Shoulder Warmer and let me tell you I am in Heaven! It is so easy to use~as all you have to do is plug into your USB port on your computer and instant warmth. It feels so good on my shoulders as with having arthritis it seems that my bones hurt more when I am cold. Not only can you use this as home but it would be great at the office too! As it is very small and lightweight. The ValueRays Shoulder Warmer measurements are aproximately 18" across the back shoulders and about 9" deep. The two tabs in the front of the shoulder warmer have velcro to securely attach the shoulder warmer to your body. The carbon fiber heating element is positioned inside the double-faced fleece fabric to produce warmth to the back of the shoulder area. The heating elem...

Scentsy Review & Giveaway! 12/20CLOSED

I love my house to smell good.I have candles and tea lights in almost every room.But it seems that no matter what I buy the scent just doesn't seem to last.I have spent so much money trying different ones and I swear that I should have bought stock in tea lights the way I buy them!! That is why I was super excited when I was asked to review some Scentsy Products. What is Scentsy~You ask?! Well~let me tell you~ Scentsy sells wickless candles, ceramic warmers and home-fragrance products. A wickless candle, called a Scentsy Bar or a Scentsy Brick, is a highly fragrant wax bar that is warmed to release fragrance into the air. And they have over 80 scents to choose from! So~I know that you will find one that matches you too! Because the wax is gently warmed rather than burned, it can hold more fragrance oil than a traditional candle. And, because there is no flame, there is no smoke, soot or lead. Scentsy wickless candles are a safer alternative to tradition...

Brugo Mug Review & Giveaway! 12/7

If you are anything like me you can't start your day without Coffee. When I wake up the first thing that I do is turn on my coffeepot and wait for that first sip of coffee.. I have a few favorite cups that I use regularly. But like most cups that you you can get today~I have different problems with with all of them.One of them doesn't keep the liquids hot~the other cover falls off all the time and that does not make for a happy morning.. That is why I was so excited to get my Brugo Mug in the mail! I received a purple one and not only is it my favorite color it is Leakproof! It is a very heavy mug as it is made of stainless steel and has a no slip bottom. This is now now my favorite mug and I have told all~HANDS OFF! :-) I love the cover the most as this is where the fun starts~ The Brugo Mug has a 3-position drink mode selector~"Lock, Sip, Tip and Cool"~allowing you perfect taste and temperature control whether you need a bolt of caffeine or prefer to ling...
