Adieu, Adieu, To You and You and You….

Well, I am sad to say that my eight-week affair with the Chevy Traverse has come to its conclusion today. I had to turn over the keys. Y’all I’m getting ready to move half-way across the country and have had to say good-bye to so many people I love and the first house we’ve ever owned, and one of my saddest moments so far has been... [Read more!]

Going out with a BANG!

I can’t believe the Mommy Madness promotion is coming to an end this Friday!  The 8 weeks we have been driving and blogging about the Chevy Traverse have flown by.  In part because it’s just been such a pleasure to drive this car around.  I was asked by the Marketing people (who do all the real work on this promotion) if “I would... [Read more!]

Toddler Talk and OnStar

As we were driving to gymnastics this morning (in the Chevy Traverse, of course), the following conversation occurred between my daughter and I:   TemTem:  Mama needs jecxtions. Me:  What’s that baby? TemTem:  Mama needs jecxtions. Me: {Still no clue what she’s saying}  That’s nice, baby. TemTem: {With a hint of frustration in... [Read more!]

Mommy Mission IV: Trip to Six Flags Over Texas

Hopped in the Traverse today, hit the OnStar button, requested directions, and off we went to spend the afternoon at Six Flags Over Texas. It was the fourth and final Mommy Mission in a series of fun, test-driving adventures throughout the DFW area in my Chevy Traverse. Now my hubby and I aren’t big roller-coaster buffs, but if our little kiddo... [Read more!]

House Full and Car Full!

I must say that I am really LOVING the Traverse and desperately wishing we had more week left on this whole adventure! Last week we had some friends move in with us. It is just a temporary thing, until their house is ready to move into, but for now our house looks like this: 6 people, 4 dogs, 2 cats, 1 bathroom and 16 days! Whew, lets just say its a... [Read more!]

Chevy Traverse: The Ultimate Road Trip Vehicle!

So we finally took a real road trip with our Chevy Traverse.   We drove down to the Houston area to spend a long weekend with my sister and her family and my Dad.  (Though, as often as I am on the road to Houston, it hardly seems like a road trip and more like a very long drive to family.  I could put all of my own vehicles on auto pilot by now!) Let... [Read more!]

Alternate Mission

Last week we were given an “Alternate” Mommy mission and we were given the opportunity to attend the opening of the New Spy Skills Exhibit at the Muesum of Nature and Science of Dallas.  It was very exciting and so much fun to do. The exhibit itself is geared towards kids probably around ages 4 and up, but Ryland, being almost 1.5 sure... [Read more!]

How Far Would You Drive for Sweet Corn Chowder?

Today we took the Traverse on a road trip to College Station. I haven’t been back there since I think 1998 and I wanted to take Bridget before we left for Seattle and I was really craving a meal from Cafe Eccell, a favorite dining destination there. Plus I figured I hadn’t had the chance to really get the Traverse on the open road for a... [Read more!]

One of these things is not like the other. Oh, wait.

My real-life car is a sort of burgundy/maroon color and pretty easy to spot in a crowd.  So, I was really excited when we were assigned our Traverse for this promotion and I got a white one.  It seemed so clean and sophisticated. But lately, I’ve started to notice something.  See if you can figure it out. I give you Exhibit A: and Exhibit... [Read more!]

Stonebriar Chevrolet

I ventured up to Stonebriar Chevrolet this week for a couple of reasons. One, this is the home where my beautiful Traverse came from and I wanted to see the great location of their dealership. Two, the Traverse was tired of being dirty from all the rain we’ve had here and needed a bath, badly. Three, I needed to get updated dealer tags on the... [Read more!]
