Insurance Tips for the Ultimate Road Trip
2019 Summer Gift Guide / June 19, 2019

  Let’s face it. We purchase insurance for the unpredictable, but insurance companies use statistics to predict the probability of the unpredictable. And we can all agree that the statistical likelihood of a collision, hitting a wild animal, or getting a flat tire increases the more miles you drive. That’s why we have collected tips to add more protection for you and your family or friends during your 13,699-mile journey.  Before packing your bags, hiring a dog sitter, and piling everyone in, consider some of these tips to ensure a safe, secure, and enjoyable road trip. A little investing up front can go a long way when the unpredictable happens, and while on vacation no less. Decrease your Deductibles When you first purchased your car insurance policy, you were probably most interested in keeping your monthly bill as low as possible but still get reasonable coverage. One tactic to reduce your premium is to increase your deductible. The deductible is what you will pay out of pocket before insurance coverage kicks in. If you are traveling on a budget, no one wants to dip into savings to pay a $1,000 deductible in case of a collision or hitting an animal….

Omie View is a great brand, and the Bassinet Mirror is perfect for your newborns all the way up to toddlers.  I gifted the mirror to a friend, that is getting ready to have a baby, on the 27th of June.  They were so pleased to be able to connect it to their crib, which is in their room.  This way, they will have plain site of the baby at all times.  There’s even a remote that comes with it, so you can adjust the mirror accordingly.  By adjusting the mirror, you’ll be able to see the baby at all cost.

T.O.P. Chops beef jerky is the bomb.  I love it, and you will too.  I can’t get over the taste, and how tender the jerky is.  The taste is magnificent, not too spicy, but the perfect mix of sweet.  I’ve eaten three bags, in two days.  I can’t wait to order more.  I shared a bag with my cousin, and he loves T.O.P.

Have you tried Stuffed Puffs?
2019 Summer Gift Guide / June 8, 2019

Stuffed Puffs are truly amazing.  We love them, here in our household.  The chocolate inside the marshmallow is an added delight.  My 8 year old had a blast roasting up Stuffed Puffs, and putting them on crackers for our family cookout, over Memorial Day.  Everyone loved them, as well.  They went over wonderfully.  We didn’t have to buy the expensive chocolate bars to make our Smores, because they chocolate is in the marshmallow. The chocolate is absolutely delicious, inside those marshmallows.  It’s equally as good as those bars you buy, for Smores.  Stuffed Puffs will be an added plus for those Graduation Parties, Dad’s Day parties, and even for the 4th of July.  I am going to Walmart tomorrow, to stock up on some more.  We love our Smores, and this is the best way to make them, now.  It’s so convenient, and easy.  The marshmallows stay on the skews just as easily as ever. There’s so many marshmallows in one bag.  We had 2 bags, and were able to save 1 bag for later.  My sister has a fire pit, so I asked her if we could come there to roast again.  Of course, she said, “Only if you…

Get the Best Wireless Headphones

I’ve found the best Wireless Headphones, in Audio Technica.  These headphones keep my 8 year old entertained for hours.  He never takes them off, except at bedtime, then I charge them for the next day.  He says the sound is “awesome”, and the feel on his ears is “sweet”.  I’ve tried them on, and they fit me fine too.  I love how they feel, the cushioning is amazing, and the sound is excellent.  Whether you are listening to music, or watching Youtube, these are the perfect headphones. Audio Technica is a great company, and I love their products.  I would love to get a pair of headphones, for Father’s Day, since my son took mine.   The sound really is great, and the comfort level is superb.  You get 70 hours of use, on a full charge.  I choose to charge them every night, but I wouldn’t have to charge but once every few days.  They do keep a great charge. We are going to the beach, in August, and these will be perfectly packed in my backseat bag.  That way Jacob can get to them, when he’s ready to listen to his music.  We won’t have to listen to it,…
