Leanne As someone who doesn’t go to fancy salons, I’m always a little behind on hair trends. In fact, I don’t think I even owned a flat iron until 2008 when I got a top-of-the-line model at the time. Even though that doesn’t seem like that long ago, it really feels like flat irons have come … Read more
As people who travel a lot, we have learned that it pays to pack light. No one ever brags about how much luggage they had to haul around on vacation, but ending up with no clothes to wear halfway through vacation is no one’s dream, either. At this point, we’ve gotten our packing down to … Read more
My son is a pretty well rounded boy with interests that range from crafting to digging in the dirt {although usually not at the same time}. But, while he loves his stuffed animals and playing house just as much as my daughter, there is one thing that he loves even more: anything with wheels. So, … Read more

by Tyler, editor and reviewer Like everyone under the age of 20, my daughter loves the KIA Soul. The dancing hamsters, the toasters, the “you can go with this or you can go with that” commercials, and most of all, the car itself. Have no idea what I’m talking about? This YouTube video should help … Read more
Oh, Mother’s Day, how I love you. Not because I get presents {although I do love the things the kiddos pick out for me each year}, but because the stores I love have discounts for stuff I adore. For instance, Seattle's own Blue Nile jewelry. Or rather, Blue Nile jewelry for 10% off using the … Read more
Just like so one will forget when they first heard the term “smartphone”, no one will ever be able to forget the first time they heard the term “phablet” {you know, a phone and tablet in one}. My first time was in reference to my NOKIA 920 Windows Phone from AT&T, which I was assured … Read more
by Tyler, editor and reviewer After having so much fun trying out the KIA Optima last fall, we jumped at the chance to try out the KIA Sportage CUV {compact utility vehicle} earlier this month through STI – The Drive Experience Company.
