Firestone Did a Awesome Job

- brandy3

This is not a compensated post. I am just sharing my experience.

I am always worried going to get work done on my car, I am afraid I will get ripped off. I have before. As a teen, I went to get a tune up on my first car, and when I got home my brother informed me a full tune up was not done.

Since then I try and always have a man with me, when i go. Even all 3 of my kids hoping that I won’t get stooped into something.

Now that my car is getting old, I have had it for 8 years now, and we just reached over 100,000 miles it’s time to get some work done.

The tread on our tires was horrible. We did the penny test and you could see almost the whole head of Abe Lincoln.  WE decided to get new tires, It’s been about 5 years since we had our tires replaced.Plus considering getting stuck in Nemo this year and having to burn rubber a little just to get up a hill, a few times. We spent 6 hours trying to go a 4 mile distance up and down hill. We eventually just abandoned the car and walked the rest of the way. I am sure it really screwed up my tires though.

I researched for two days before I found a great deal at Firestone Complete Auto Care. They had the Firestone Affinity Touring tires for buy 3 get 1 free.   Thats a great deal!

Unfortunately, For us after getting the tires installed we found out we need a few other things done. So I will be going back in a few months to get the rest of the work done. I can’t complain though, it cheaper than buying a new car.

I was very impressed by the people at Firestone they explained everything that they saw wrong or needs work. Installed the tires and even gave a me a phone call when the car was done ( I walked to the mall, with my kids).

Our new tires!!

Mother’s Day: Logic E-Cigs Help You Quit

- brandy3

This is a sponsored post, written by me for Logic E-Cigs. Product was provided which was then donated to a family member.

Unknown

When I was first approached to try E-Cigs, I said absolutely no way. I am not a smoker at all. Then when I learned my Mother was trying to quit after almost 40 years, I thought this may help her.

When we received the Logic E-Cigs, there were 4 samples and I was confused as to why. they all had nicotine in them except 1 the Zero. It’s a system though, you start with the E-Cig with most nicotine. Then move down, the nicotine drops 7% then 14% until your on your last one the zero which has absolutely no nicotine.

No the E-Cig is not like one simple cigarette. One E-Cig will last you a while about as long as 2 packs.

***While I don’t smoke, I did pass this on to my Mother and brother. I am so proud that she is quitting after all these years. She said that they E-Cigs don’t really have a great after taste. I would figure that to be expected though because they have no tar and chemicals.

I would recommend these if you are determined to quit, they do help.

Have you ever tried a E-Cig?

Cinco De Mayo With Hormel Brands #HormelFamily

- brandy3 1 Comment

I’ve partnered with Hormel Foods as part of the Hormel FoodsExtended Family Blogger Program. Throughout the year I’ll be receiving product, coupons, giveaways and promotions. However, no payment was given or expected for posting about the program, and as always, all opinions given here are fully my own.

Did you know that Hormel owns tons of different brands?  They do! including brands that are perfect for Cinco De Mayo, like Chi Chi’s, La Victoria, and more.   I typically do not celebrate Cinco De Mayo, but I am trying to teach my kids about different cultures and traditions.

So this year I decided to have my own little celebration. I know it’s not really authentic, but I tried.

W made chicken and beef taco’s with ChiChi’s tortillas, Chi Chi’s Chips, La Victoria Salsa.

I am not the best cook and i hate shredding chicken for taco’s so i just used Hormel’s chicken in a can.

We also had beef taco’s refried beans and of course chips and salsa.

Getting Out And Having Fun

- brandy3

This post is not sponsored in any way, just want to share some of my favorite places.

 

Living In Long Island there is just so much to do. New York City is only a hour train ride away. There are tons of beaches on the North Shore and South Shore. I prefer the North Shore, it’s has more rocks, and the sand is rockier, but I don’t have to worry about the waves being to high for the kids. The waves are actually very small and I don’t have to worry about the kids getting swept out by a big wave.

Here they usually charge per car to get into beaches and state parks. It’s anywhere between $8-$10 per car to get in. So instead of having to pay every single time, we opted for the Empire Passport. It’s only $65 and you can get into any NY state park that accepts it.

Two of my favorite parks are Sunken Meadow, which is here on the North Shore. It has everything, a beach, hiking, golfing, playgrounds, grills, and picnic tables for BBQ’s and so much more.

My other favorite park is Caumsett State Park. It was once a private residence but now a beautiful park. It’s settled ona penninsula in Long Island Sound, and has tons of historic buildings, a equestrian center, and miles of trials, gardens, biking etc.
They have a 3 mile loop that is all paved and is great for exercise.

ONe of the downsides this year to the parks, are a lot of them are not fully open, they are still cleaning up after Hurricane Sandy.

What are your plans this summer any parks that are your favorite.
