Am I Really That Old?

As I sit here tonight, I am going through the course listings for Summer school for the kids this year. As I’m reading class descriptions, it finally hits me that I won’t be registering Zack for the normal, fun Summer school courses that I have been doing for years. Instead, this summer, Zack will be taking drivers education.

Seriously, am I really that old??

How did it happen?

How is it I have a child who will not only be taking his drivers education classroom course over the summer but will also get his learner’s permit.

I don’t know where the time went but it went way to darn fast.

Not only is Zack going to be busy learning the rules of the road over the summer but he will also be working to restore an old pickup truck with Pa the Great.

Even though he is restoring this truck, Alex and I are still going back and forth on the idea of getting another minivan and passing Alex’s ghetto cruiser on to the kid.

Although I’m currently torn and have no clue what we are going to do, it doesn’t stop me from checking out different deals online while shopping for my dream minivan.

Seriously, who would ever have thought I would have a *dream minivan*.
Yes, I’m officially a mom with 5 kids.

First things first, my dream minivan needs to seat at least 7 people because our family is HUGE. Second, it has leather interior so it is easy to clean because, let’s face it, kids always end up eating and drinking in the car no matter how many times you say it’s not going to happen and they alaways, ALWAYS make a mess.

I also dream of a van with stow-and-go seats, dual automatic doors and hatch, 2 tvs, and fully loaded with A/C, cruise, automatic everything, and all the bells and whistles.

Yes, I want it all.

Today I spent some time drooling (yes, I am that mom) over a few new vans on the Sheboygan GM website and let me tell you….they have a few in stock that I would be willing to take off their hands if I had the funds currently available.

I’m crazy about this 2012 Chrysler Town & Country Touring.

It has all the bells, whistles and even more…everything I am looking for AND it’s RED!!!!!!!!

Now I just need to generate $23K to purchase it and make it mine!

Do you have a dream car or are you a mom like me who has a dream minivan??

Old Car Exchange at David Hobbs Honda

Anne Younger Leave a comment

Being from Wisconsin, it is no secret that I am always willing to help spread the word about different Wisconsin based businesses. Some, actually, most of these businesses, I have had the pleasure of working with over the last 5 years. When I find a business that I feel I would personally shop at, or work with, or recommend to someone, I like to share them here on the blog with my readers.

I recentely learned of David Hobbs Honda in Glendale, Wisconsin and have made the executive decision that when the time comes (in the very near future) I feel that it would be worth the drive for us to visit the dealership due to their Old Car Exchange program.

David & Greg Hobbs, from David Hobbs Honda are on a mission to help customers get rid of that car you hate.

With the Old Car Exchage, you can trade in your old car, regardless of age, mileage and condition (EVEN IF YOU STILL OWE MORE THAN IT’S WORTH) and drive away in a nicer, newer car possibly for the SAME of LOWER monthly payment!!

I don’t know about you, but that is something that DEFINITELY sounds worth the trip to me!

David & Greg believe in being a Dealer FOR The People and are ready to help you today!

Prom Season is Fast Approaching

*This post is brought to you by JenJenHouse*

It’s hard to believe that Spring is upon us which means that prom season is fast approaching. In our school district, prom is April 12th and I know quite a few teenage girls who are busy planning for their perfect prom, which includes finding the perfect dress.

My prom wasn’t very memorable for me and I really wish I would have done more to really enjoy it. Instead, I bought a simple black slip dress off the rack, strappy black heals and since I had short hair, the glamorous prom updo was definitely out of the question.

For my daughter’s, I want them to experience it all. Prom is a time to have fun with your friends and you get to dress up like a full-on princess so why not make the most of it.

Even though I have few years before Libby will head to prom, that doesn’t stop me from looking at dresses every year when prom season approaches.

I love to browse dresses online at places like http://www.jenjenhouse.com/Prom-Dresses-c18/ and look at the latest styles, I feel this way I will be prepared once I am actually shopping for a prom dress.

Since Libby is Doctor Who obsessed, she gravitates towards things that are Tardis blue or for those who are familiar with that color, it’s basically a dark navy. We recently decided to look at dresses at jenjenhouse.com and of course, she immediately wanted to see what they had in dark navy and within minutes, she was in love when she saw this beautiful ball gown.

Although we still have a few years to go, I’m sure we will continue to check out the new options each prom season.

I am pleasantly surprised by the wide selection of dresses that JenJenHouse has to offer, there really is something for everyone!

Do you have a teenage daughter who is headed to their first prom? What is she (or you) looking for in that perfect dress?

It’s no secret that pizza is a regular meal in our house. It is something that everyone in our family enjoys, we can get a few different kinds and there are always leftovers for lunch the next day! Now, we do enjoy the occasional delivery pizza however we are HUGE fans of Papa Murphy’s and their take & bake pizzas. Who doesn’t love a pizza made with fresh ingredients???

If you are new to Papa Murphy’s, let me introduce you! Papa Murphy’s is made to order and completely customizable with your favorite fresh ingredients, you control when it’s hot and ready because you get to pop it in the oven and serve it fresh to your family.

Papy Murphy’s just came out with a delicious, pan pizza and we are swooning over them!

*I assure you there was more pepperoni on this pizza…..we have a pepperoni thief in our family.*

Papa Murphy’s pizza is on the menu at least twice a month in our house and to be honest, since they launched the pan pizza nationwide on Febraury 18th, we’ve had it 4 times! It’s just that good. The crust….it’s sooooo good! It’s thick, it’s buttery, it’s crunchy and I’m hooked!!

*Mmmmmm…….bacon pizza…….*

We enjoy Papa Murphy’s on the nights when we have a lot going on, on weekends for a fun family night and on those days when no one wants to go grocery shopping. A pizza that I don’t have to wait to have delivered to my door, is fresh and is ready to pop in the oven and done in 15 minutes…I’m sold!

In addition to pizza, you can also grab breadsticks, salads, desserts and more!
