This post is sponsored by FCA US; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. #DrivePacifica I realize that most people don’t get excited about a minivan. I’ve been a minivan driver for the last 17 years (nothing beats a minivan for space for big families like mine!) but I have never driven a…
How to Save Money on Gas
I created this post about how to save money on gas as part of a sponsored series with Socialstars and Shell; all opinions are my own. #ShellCrowd As a busy mother of teens and tweens, I spend a good bit of my day driving them places. To school. Back home from school. To sports practices….
The BEST Car Buying Advice Ever & The Washington Auto Show
This past week, just days before THE STORM began (and, yes, THE STORM has to be all caps. It has been that epic) I ventured to downtown Washington DC, where I met up with a few dozen of my local DC-area blogging friends to explore the Washington Auto Show. Although I was asked to attend…
2015 Kia Optima Review

2014 Kia SOUL Review
Just a little disclaimer: first, I am not a car person. I have to mention that whenever I post a car review. I’m just an ordinary person who has to drive a car daily. I look at car features with the eyes of a mom. How will my family “fit” with this car? How…
