How to Create an Awesome Trunk or Treat

October 19, 2017 by amushro

During the Halloween season, your kids probably can’t wait to go door-to-door trick or treating, but another trend for having a little Halloween fun that has been growing in popularity is Trunk or Treat. If you’ve never heard of Trunk or Treat, believe me, you are going to want to attend one or plan one this fall!
Trunk or Treat is the perfect alternative to the regular candy-grabs and works well for Halloween events for schools, churches, or clubs. Parents decorate their trunks in a fun or spooky Halloween theme and line up their cars in a parking lot so that kids can visit each trunk and get a little treat. It really is fun for the whole family.
If you are going to be part of a trunk or treat this year, here’s a little inspiration!

Apps You’ll Want for Your Next Road Trip

October 17, 2017 by amushro

You’ve planned your trip and your bags are packed! All that’s left to do in jump into your car and hit the open road. But before you leave on your next road trip, there are a few apps you should download first. From figuring out how to get your destination and then what to do when you get there, here are apps perfect for your next road trip.

Waze – This app has quickly become my favorite car app and I use it on long road trips and even when I am just running errands close to home. The app provides turn-by-turn driving directions on a live map. So Waze automatically checks for the latest traffic information and re-routes you if there are poor traffic conditions or an accident up ahead. Waze works by connecting you to its network of local drivers who contribute traffic info and road reports on things like accidents, construction areas, and police traps.

Heads Up! – This game is so fun, you will love it! Heads Up! is the fun and hilarious game from Ellen DeGeneres that she plays on her show, and now you can play it with your friends. If you have a long road trip planned and you will need something to pass the time while you are a passenger, download Heads Up and start playing.

A car emergency kit means something very different once you are a parent. Sure it would be handy to have an emergency kit filled with items to help you if your car breaks down or you have a flat tire; however, a car emergency kit that would really help a parent has much different items.

For this emergency car kit, you probably already have everything you need at home. Start by grabbing a rolled makeup container and fill it up with all of the items you realize you and your kids need when you are running late but you are already in the car:
