Stay Safe and On Top of Things with Zubie

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Zubie for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Now that we are down to one vehicle again (only temporarily, I hope), I've become a little more cautious about the family mini-van.  Our van is 9 years old and it has been great to us since we bought it 3 years ago and I am very thankful for that.  

Although we haven't really encountered any problems I always like to stay ahead of the game and I recently learned that Zubie can give me the comfort I need.

Zubie is a new service that connects you to your car and helps you monitor your vehicles, diagnose repair problems and eliminates the hassle of daily driving.

Imagine having the ability to know if there is a problem with your engine, or your check engine light comes on and you have no idea why.  What would it be like if you knew ahead of time that your battery was on the very of death? What if you could get an estimate on repairs before even bringing it into a shop?  Well, Zubie can help with all of that!

I keep thinking about how great this would be to have next year when our Zack starts driving.  To have the ability to monitor and track speeding, vehicle location and more.

You can get Zubie now and use code SAVE20FEB and SAVE 20% on your Zubie key and one year of service now through March 31st 2014 (shipping charges do apply).

Find out more about Zubie by connecting with them on Facebook and on Twitter.

Looks like it is time for me to have a discussion with Alex about getting our own Zubie key and service.

If only I had known about this last week….it would have made a great Valentine's Day gift!

 

Grab Last Minute Gifts from Target #MyKindOfHoliday

Even though it is January, there are still holiday gatherings happening.  We have a few friends who don’t have a chance to celebrate until late January because of their crazy schedules.

For our family, December is crazy busy with birthdays and multiple Christmas celebrations.  No matter how early I try to get the holiday shopping done, I always find myself in need of last minute items.  Regardless of who I am shopping for, I know that I can rely on Target to have the perfect gift for everyone on my list.

Right before Santa arrived, we found ourselves in need of a few more items for the littles. Since Target is our go to store and is close to our house, we decided to check out their Kid’s Toy Guide to find the perfect gifts for the kids.  Be sure to check out the great deals on Kid’s toys only @Target and take advantage of some awesome clearance prices right now and stock up on so you have some last minute gifts on hand!

Another thing that makes Target great when coming up with last minute gift ideas is the ability to give a digital giftcard.

Even though it’s January, my neice is celebrating a birthday this week.  What better way to send a gift then to send a giftcard that she can access immediately?

Eating Right with the Pick ‘n Save Health Key System + Chicken Veggie Slaw Recipe

#cbias #shop

As I mentioned earlier this week, we, as a family, are dedicating 2014 to getting healthy.  Planning meals and shopping for the neccessary items and ingredients can be a very daunting task when trying new things.  For me, I have always had a hard time trying to dechipher which product was better than the other among the varieties sitting on the shelf in the grocery store.  Thanks to Pick ‘n Save and their new Health Key System, our shopping trips are much easier and we are able to make better food choices.

The Pick ‘n Save Health Key System makes it easier for you to find what you are looking for and make better food choices by clearly labeling items throughout the store so you know if they are Organic, Vegan, Gluten Free and more including products marked as Low Sodium, No Lactose and the list goes on.  

I really like the new labeling system and find that it not only helps me make better choices when shopping but it also saves me a lot of time when picking and choosing products that are right for our family.

In addition to the Health Key System, Pick ‘n Save has also made shopping easier for us with their Fresh Every Day initiative. Knowing that we can get fresh produce every day from our local grocery store makes this mom very happy and I’m even happier when some of it is locally grown!

On our most recent shopping trip, we picked up some fresh produce along with some Roundy’s Fresh All Natural Hand Trimmed Chicken Thin Sliced Breast Cutlets and some bottles of vinaigrette to whip up a fresh and healthy dinner for the family.

Our dinner started with dicing up a red onion, cucumber, 2 roma tomatoes and 2 avocados. From their, we tossed all of the fresh diced veggies in a bowl while grilling up our thin sliced breast cutlets on our George Foreman grill.  Once the chicken was done, we diced that up as well, laid out a bed of fresh greens, sprinkled on some of our Chicken Veggie Slaw along with a drizzle of vinaigrette and our dinner was born!

This meal was easy to make and there was more than enough for our entire family.  I love that it is such a versatile dish that it can be eaten on a bed of greens, in a tortilla or pita or you can even eat it as a dip and use crakers or chips.
