The weather can take such a toll on our vehicles no matter what season it is, and not just on the outside but the inside too.  Every time you get in your vehicle you track all the outside elements in- snow, slush, rock salt, rain, mud, dirt, sand and debris.  Not to mention any liquids that might get spilled in your vehicle.

We purchased a new vehicle at the beginning of the year and we want to keep it protected both inside and out.  And even though the car mats that came with it looked nice they were going to be no match for the changing weather and our 3 kids.

When it comes to protecting the interior of your vehicle, WeatherTech offers superior top-of-the-line car floor mats to keep your floor looking like new.

WeatherTech by MacNeil Automotive, is dedicated to making quality products and understands the importance of keeping jobs in America.  That’s why WeatherTech products are Made In The USA, manufactured right out of Bolingbrook, Illinois.

Today, we build the best fitting, highest quality automotive floor mats in the world, right here in America.   ~David MacNeil, Founder/CEO

We installed the WeatherTech FloorLiner™ DigitalFit® in our minivan and couldn’t be happier!  We can now get in and out of our van and not worry about getting the carpets all wet or muddy.  Our vehicle floor is protected not only from the weather but also from our 3 young kids, we all know how neat and clean kids are.  ;)

• Install quickly and easily
• The floor liners are flexible (soft touch top) yet durable (rigid core strength)
• Channels carry fluid & debris to lower reservoir
• Custom fit for your vehicle to give absolute interior protection
• Available in black, tan, and gray
• Easy to clean (just spray or wipe off)
• 3 year warranty
• Made in the USA

Driver’s Side- You can see how the floor liner goes right up under the pedals on the driver side and it goes completely to the edge so it’s all-around protection.  You can also see all the snow, salt, and dirt that the liners are protecting our floors from.  The liner is molded perfectly to the vehicle for a seamless fit.

2nd & 3rd Row/Center Aisle- Complete protection around each seat and raised edges so nothing rolls off.  No more worrying when the kids get in- the floor liner is protecting from anything that might be on their shoes.  And of course when they eat or drink in the van no more worries about stained carpet.

Cargo Area- The cargo liner is great for groceries (any leaks will be contained) and for throwing gear in the back (sports equipment or my husband’s fishing stuff).  It’s also great for pet owners who need to take their pet with them.

>> My husband and I were both impressed with the WeatherTech Floor Liners, and even my dad (who’s worked at one of the big 3 auto companies and knows his car stuff) uses WeatherTech in his own vehicles.

Your vehicle is an investment and you have to protect it not only so you can enjoy it while you own it but also for resale value.  WeatherTech offers the best product around for protecting your vehicle interior.  Whether you go with their Floor Liner or All-Weather Floor Mats you know you’re getting a quality product!

I was using my clear wireless internet Visalia connection this morning to catch up on all of the episodes of the new season of “Vampire Diaries” that I have missed. They are posted on the CW website in full form and I can stream them through the internet onto my television. I was really excited about the season starting, but for some reason I couldn’t watch the first episode that came out in early January.

Once I missed the first one, I didn’t want to keep watching them ( in case I missed something ) because I like to watch things in order. When I first started watching the series, I started watching it on Netflix and saw season one and season two from start to finish in order. It has a really good storyline and I am glad that I had some free time this morning to catch up. My assessment this morning ( which was a four hour time block) called and cancelled. I hate to lose that money, but I love it that I got to watch my show!

I’ve been a long time Walgreen’s shopper for health items and prescriptions that my family needs.  It’s super convenient as it’s only a block away from our house.  So when there’s a sick kid late at night and we need to run and get something, it’s right there.

Right now you can get a special discount on an annual membership for Walgreens Prescription Savings Club.  A family membership is $35 a year and covers everyone in the immediate family including a spouse, dependents 22 and younger, and even pets.  You can also get an individual membership for just $20.

When you join you receive discount prices on your prescriptions.  Additional benefits include:

• Savings on more than 8,000 brand-name and all generic medications
• Discounts on flu shots, pet prescriptions, nebulizers and diabetic supplies
• Bonuses when you purchase Walgreens brand products and photofinishing services

And the Prescription Savings Club membership is completely risk free.  If you don’t save more than the cost of the membership during the course of the year of your membership, then they’ll refund the difference.  So there’s nothing to lose, but lots of opportunities to save!

You can stay updated with all the latest news and offers by liking Walgreens on Facebook and following Walgreens on Twitter.

You get a voucher for $10 off movie tickets for two as well as some K-Y Brand intimacy enhancement products to create your own happy ending (wink, wink).

To me one of the avenues of continued learning in the blogging world is to attend a blog conference.  I’ve been blogging for almost two years now and have yet to go to my first conference (more on that in another post).  But when I do finally go, I know I want to have my own business cards to pass out to fellow bloggers and to companies that may want to potentially partner up with my blog.

First impressions go a long way in what a person will think of you and how they’ll remember you (if at all).  And handing someone one of your business cards is no different.  You want it to be high-quality and unique enough to stand out as memorable and make it so it doesn’t wind up in the trash later.

Tiny Prints offers lots of designs to choose from or make your own custom business cards for your brand.  They even have personal designers to help if you need ideas.  They also offer other products so you can continue your business relationships long after the first time you meet- invitations, stationery, greeting cards, and more.

They even have interactive Valentine’s Day cards- you can add on a Valentine’s treat, or use it for finger puppet play, or as a paper airplane, and of course each card can still be personalized.

Watch the video to see the super cute Polka Dot Petals Valentine’s Day cards my daughter will be passing out to her 1st grade class for their party.

Right now when you purchase any 3 Valentine’s Day items from Pear Tree Greetings you get 15% off your purchase using the coupon code LOVE2SAVE (thru 2/14).
