No Air Conditioner? 90 degrees?

I am sure you have all seen and/or heard those public service announcements that tell us that when the weather gets extremely hot to check in on our older neighbors. It is true that the elderly and young children are far more susceptible to extremes in temperature and with excess heat are much more likely to dehydrate--and quickly. They also mention to check on people with compromised lungs. Well it turns out--it is the truth! I was getting … [Read more...]

Snappii Inventory App: Time Saver
July 26, 2016 by ·

GFYcarwash Quality Painting Crew
July 26, 2016 by ·
Check out the painters above! This is a job that I wouldn't necessarily enjoy. The days have been super hot here in Texas and it probably feels even hotter when working around the top of our carwash building. We're on track to open soon but still lots to do. Thank goodness our painting crew is timely and always on top of things. We have been using this same painting crew for about fifteen years now. I met the owner of the painting business … [Read more...]
Why You Should Choose Wood Flooring (or Laminate) When You Have Kids!
July 20, 2016 by ·
People tend to think that wood flooring (or laminate) and kids just shouldn’t be put together, but it really isn’t the case. Wood and Laminate VS. Carpet Although carpet is much softer than wood and laminate flooring, keeping it clean can be a big issue. We all know how messy kids can be. A sticky lolly will stick to the fibres, a spilled yoghurt or a cup of milk poured on the floor just for the fun of it could cause some unsightly, … [Read more...]
National Geographic Ocean Animals #Giveaway ENDS 8/8
July 19, 2016 by ·
Both books were given to me and my family by National Geographic Kids to use in facilitating our review. All opinions are ours alone.

Disney Pixar's Finding Dory is one movie that I would love to take my children to go see. My youngest loves fish and was definitely interested when I showed him … [Read more...]

I am sure that you have heard about the Pokemon On The Go game by now. My teenager told my husband about it and before you knew it, they were both testing it out.

Priority Cleaning After An Illness
July 17, 2016 by ·
No amount of hand sanitizer or vitamins prevents your kids from falling ill. You can be the most careful, most diligent parent in the world, but one night a child will walk into your bedroom while you sleep soundly and promptly vomit all over the floor next to your bed. Fear not, mom and dad, that same child will then tell you that she already vomited in her bed, her hallway and once for good measure in the living room on her way into your room. … [Read more...]
Sand & Sun At Galveston Beach

Galveston Island is always a great getaway spot for our family. It is close to home and makes you feel as if you've stepped right into vacation mode.

The boys love playing in the beach, dreaming about catching small sharks off the pier … [Read more...]
