What I love on Roadtrips + Pillow Pet Giveaway!

Image

My family and I went on a two month trip this winter to California! However, the drive from Minnesota to California is crazy long, it took us around a week of 7-8 hour days, to get there because of the bad snow storm that came through. Semi Trucks were jack-knifing and tipping over and sliding off the road all over the place! It was terrible!

With all that driving, you need some weapons. Some road trip weapons. With spending countless hours driving around in the past two months, I've developed a few favorites. Take a look....

(Podcasts are great to listen to while traveling - on my 'extraordinary' ipod nano - my favorite - "Stuff you Missed in History Class")

And what not to pack....


Sweet Paul

Ham sandwiches. Actually, I think I'm changing the spelling to "Ham Sand'witches'." When you start to eat them everyday for a week, the come to be unappetizing indeed.

Holiday Gift Idea - Pillow Pets Giveaway!

I was first introduced to Pillow Pets last year, and I will admit that I wasn't so sure about them.

However, earlier this year, my cousins (2,4,8, and 10) each bought a Pillow Pet when they stopped at the mall on the long drive from their house to ours. I was surprised when I saw them! They were such better quality than I ever expected them to have been!

In real life, I was surprised to find that these open up huge! Also, the quality of them is amazing, I love how soft they are! I was given the opportunity to review and giveaway a Unicorn pillow pet and I have used mine countless times already, especially for traveling long distances! these are perfect for any age, my Mom wants one!

While I was babysitting my cousins, we were scrolling through the Pillow Pets website, my 4 year old cousin, Taylen, loves the frog pillow pet, he has the turtle and is so looking forward to eventually getting the frog one!

A couple things that I've found out about Pillow Pets however that you should keep in mind...

....If you purchase the ones at department stores they are lower quality and not as big.
.....The ones online and in the mall kiosks are larger and higher quality!
