5 Reasons to Love The 2017 Toyota Corolla

 

This post is in partnership with Toyota. 

Is it me or do the holidays seems to go by faster every year. Maybe it’s because I’m a year older or maybe it’s just as simple as there is so much on our calendars now that it just makes the time seem like it’s going faster. Either way, I feel like I blinked and it was over. If you’re following me on social media, you may have seen our holiday adventures in the 2017 Toyota Corolla. Whether it was a holiday light show or just finishing up holiday shopping, the Toyota Corolla was my side kick for a week and I put it to good use!  [Read more…] about 5 Reasons to Love The 2017 Toyota Corolla

Spring Clean Your Car

Spring is finally here and now is the perfect time to clean up our cars from the dirt they have accumulated all Winter long.  We spent a lot of time and money in our cars, so it’s important to keep them clean and looking their best. If you’re a mom like me, you know kids can be messy and turn your car into a giant mess. I don’t know what it is but more food ends up on the floor than in their mouths sometimes. Not to mention the dirt and mud they track in because, you know, every puddle must be jumped in. These five easy steps will have your car looking it’s best in no time at all.  [Read more…] about Spring Clean Your Car in 5 Easy Steps

The 2017 Mazda6 Grand Touring | A Practical & Stylish Family Sedan

Thank you to Mazda for loaning us the 2017 Mazda6 Grand Touring for the week. 

Practical and stylish, the 2017 Mazda6 Grand Touring does not disappoint.

2017 Mazda6 I Grand Touring

If you can’t tell from all my posts, I love cars. So each time a new vehicle pulls up in front of my house for a test drive, I get a little giddy. There’s just something about jumping in the car for a ride that I find relaxing and I’ve always been that way. Usually I prefer nice open road as sitting in traffic isn’t really my thing but the kind of car your in can really make or break that experience. Thankfully we didn’t get stuck in any crazy traffic anywhere but since the weather was absolutely gorgeous for March, we did head out as soon as this car was dropped off. It was a gorgeous day and what better to put the 2017 Mazda6 Grand Touring to the test than a little road trip.   [Read more…] about The 2017 Mazda6 Grand Touring | A Practical & Stylish Family Sedan
