Disclosure: I am partnering with Toyota to bring you this post! When you are part of a family that go, go, goes- you must have a vehicle that can go with you- like the 2014 Sienna. The Sienna is roomy enough to tote around my entire family of seven, plus all our stuff- with room left over. Don't believe me? Read on! The Sienna offers a whopping 39.1 cu. feet of cargo space, even with all seven (or eight) seats in use. Instead of the space behind the third row being level with the bumper, the trunk is deep which allows items like strollers and bags to be cradled in the trunk and not fall out the … [Read more...]

Disclosure: This post brought to you by Amazon. I can't tell you how many times I have let my children play with one of my tablets only to find out an hour, a day or more later that they made a purchase I certainly did not approve of. Thankfully I have been able to have almost every single one of them reversed, but the hassle of doing it and having to wait for a credit to be made to my account is more than annoying. Each and every time it happens I stomp my feet on the ground and curse under my breath about how there needs to be a platform on every tabled designed specifically for kids with kid … [Read more...]

Disclosure: I am partnering with Toyota to bring you this post! I have test drove many, many vehicles since purchasing my first one. I believe that test drives at a dealership are extremely limited because you don't have a ton of time. You do learn many things during that twenty or thirty minute drive, but you don't really get a feel for the vehicle. For the past few months, my hiney has been driving and riding around in the brand new 2014 Toyota Sienna and I've got to say- my hiney is happy! The 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat allows myself and my husband to achieve superior comfort. He is … [Read more...]

Disclosure: This post brought to you by Step 2. Each and every spring we go through all the kids toys. Some get donated, some get resold and some get recycled. One of the issues we run into from December- March is where to store the extra toys the kids acquire during winter months, specifically Christmas. Our toy box ends up over flowing and the toys end up all over the floor, which makes our toy room look like a war zone. Another issue we have is where to store all the outside toys when it's to cold to use them outside. Well I put my thinking cap on and thought for a while and came up with one … [Read more...]
