Disclosure: Mazda provided the CX-5 exclusively for this review. No monetary compensation was received. All opinions are strictly my own. This past summer, we didn't do much of anything as in vacationing in a resort or visits at the beach. We pretty much hung around my hometown and did things nearby like visit the parks, visits to Rita's for some cold, creamy custards (yum!) and lots of backyard play. My plans for next summer are to take plenty of road trips, one or a few vacations (at the … [Read more...]

{Review} Road Trippin’ in the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander GT S-AWC #DriveShop #DriveMitsubishi
November 29, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Disclaimer: Thanks to Drive Shop and Mitsubishi, I was given the opportunity to test drive the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander for seven days. All opinions are 100% my own. Every time I get a vehicle loaned from Drive Shop, I make it a point to go somewhere miles away so that I can get a good feel for the way the vehicle drives and handles on the road. So that's exactly what I did; I took a small road trip with my youngest to New Jersey to visit my sister for the weekend. I was beyond grateful … [Read more...]

My Weekend Was Filled with Birthdays, Cannoli Cake and Medieval Times!
September 3, 2012 by Leave a Comment
What a weekend! I barely had any time to socialize online because I was busy hanging out with my lovely family enjoying two birthdays, delicious cannoli cake and Medieval Times. This past Saturday was my son's 16th birthday! I can not believe I am a mother of a sixteen year old. It feels like just yesterday when I had him and now poof, he's turned into this wonderful young man. Sniff, sniff. My husband and I wanted his 16th birthday to be extra special so we decided to go to Medieval Times … [Read more...]

Disclosure: The Volkswagen Routan was given to us as a loaner for review purposes only. It was made possible by the MWW Group.

That was way over a month ago and you must be thinking, ok, why is she writing about this now? Honestly, life got in the way especially when there's kids involved and … [Read more...]

This past weekend, my family and I went away for the weekend for a road trip to Lancaster, PA, Philly and Washington D.C with a fabulous ride - The Volkswagen Routan that was loaned to us (post on that coming up) for review purposes. It was a great experience (post coming up). While I was away, I knew I wouldn't be blogging or Tweeting so I didn't want my blog to be on a standstill. So I asked a few of my friends if they wanted to be guest writers here and two of them agreed. I was so … [Read more...]

June 23, 2010 by 10 Comments
Well folks, it's that time for families to start on their new ventures now that school is out! With that in mind, my family and I will be going on a small road trip to Pennsylvania and we're making two stops along the way: Lancaster & Philadelphia.

Our last stop before heading back to New York will be Washington, D.C. It will be the first time for … [Read more...]
