Coolio

OK, so random, but we totally met Coolio, the Grammy award winning rapper, this weekend and he sat in my Traverse for the Mommy Madness blog! Crazy, huh!?!? Go check out the full story and watch the video here.

Rained Out

Tonight we took our longest drive in the Traverse to date. We drove from the White Rock Lake area all the way over Ranger’s Stadium. It was raining and rush hour during our drive over there. We paid for parking, walked inside, watched a woman chew out her boyfriend, watched him leave her there, watched her tell her friends about what he had just done (it was all quite comical from an outsiders view) and then find out the game had been rained out. So, we went for some coffee and dessert near by and then made the long drive home.

But… really… I must say, what should have been a long frustrating evening of driving and weather turned out to be actually quite nice and relaxing. This car rides so smoothly, especially on the highways and is so super quite. The heated seats also make for a “spa” like feeling! I am 5 months pregnant with our second baby and my back has been acting up, but tonight it got a good hour and half with the heat on it, I am feeling quite nice.

Ryland was very entertained by my wonderful sister, so it turned out to be a nice little road trip in the rain. One other thing that I LOVE about this car is the windshield wipers! They are by far the best wipers I have ever experienced in a car before and I am totally digging them. Apparently they are special blades that suction onto your windshield, instead of the old fashioned kind and work fabulously!

You really should go try them out during your test drive! Remember, the one your taking to get your free massage from Massage Envy!?!? And… don’t forget to vote for me!!!

New Video!

Here is the new video I just posted over on the Mommy Madness site! Thanks to a bunch of really good friends, we got this video that I love! I am having SO much fun with this whole project! The car is AWESOME and I just feel like this whole thing is too good to be true and that there must be a catch. But, there isn't. I am really getting to drive this awesome car, get gas money each week, and get really cool "mommy missions" to go on!

I will be posting in the next day or so about our shopping trip to Kroger. We were given $150 to go buy groceries and see how full we could get the back of the car... again... really cool!!!

Don't forget to VOTE!!! If you don't live in Texas, you can only vote once (from that computer... if you own multiple computers or have access to a few hundred in a computer lab.... I'm just sayin...) sorry, but if you do live in Texas you can vote as many times as you want! AND by voting you are registering yourself to also win the awesome getaway to a great Spa in Austin!

Thanks for your support! I am up against some pretty tough competition (the other women really are awesome) with large blog followings so every vote counts!!!
