The 2014 Kia Soul

The 2014 Kia Soul made it’s way onto my driveway recently one rainy day for a weeklong test drive, and the site of a bright yellow vehicle took me by surprise. It took many people by surprise, because this is one noticeable car: My husband said it was a girl’s car, and after taking it […]

  • It would probably be a perfect size for me since my kids are older. I love the sunny color too.

  • It’s cute and my daughter LOVES yellow so she’d definitely like it!

  • I love the color – so cheery! 🙂

  • Michele P

    what a sweet ride! love the color as well!

  • Looks like a great car. I love the color of the car. So fun!

  • It’s super cute but I’d definitely get in in another color.

  • We got to drive this earlier in the year on a road trip down to San Antonio. We were pleasantly surprised by its handling. And yes, my nearly 18 year old daughter would have loved to have kept it! So college cute is appropriately described here LOL!

  • This is super cute and I love the color!!! I think having a camera to see when your backing up is awesome!

  • I love the color – bright and cheery!

  • Raijean

    I love this yellow Kia Soul, I had a green one and was obsessed with it.

  • Love the Kia Soul and that color is awesome. I really like the navigation feature – must have for me in a vehicle.

  • We are a KIA family but I haven’t checked out the Soul yet. We will be shopping for a new car and I will have to test drive this one for sure!

  • I would have gotten one of these prior to having my daughter. Between toting her around and lugging DIY & gardening supplies I need a full size SUV

  • I really like this car for a college student. It is such a fun ride.

  • I’d love to drive around town in a Kia Soul. Looks like a great car for roominess and fun.

  • Solar yellow – awesome name for a color! I’m so glad you liked it but I totally get the need for more cargo space. Kia has become one of my fave auto brands!

  • Sounds like a fun car to drive around for a while but definitely wouldn’t work for my family. I bet my kids would have a blast with the colors and stuff from the music.

  • The Kia Soul sure has changed over the years. It looks much more stylish now.

  • The Soul looks like a lot of fun and comes at an affordable price too. I agree and think it would make a perfect vehicle for a younger college or grad student!

A Pop Of Color #HomeDecor

I am working with Wayfair to share home decor ideas, including items in this post that were sent for review. Now that the dreary winter is over, I’m ready for spring, and to add some color to our home. A great way to liven up our space is with bright color, and I perused Wayfair’s […]

Whole Grains Made Easy With @Roman_Meal Bread (+ A $2,500 Sweeps)

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Roman Meal. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for participating. Whole grains can be a hard thing to increase in our diets, but they are good for us, so foods that offer them […]

  • I love your toast face! It’s pretty cool that they have so many bakeries to provide freshly baked bread in so many areas.

  • Looks delicious. I need to switch the family to whole grain instead of white.

  • This looks like a whole grain bread I might actually like. Most are so heavy and dense and just don’t taste good.

  • Penelope

    It’s actually very light, and tastes great (really)…I always have that “blah” feeling about whole grain breads because of past experiences with them and this is fluffy and light, a really good toast or sandwich bread.

  • I haven’t heard of Roman Meal bread. I’ll have to try it out.

  • Donna

    That mojito sandwich sounds so fresh and tasty!I buy Roman Meal’s bread a lot.

  • Few things can top a good sandwich made on soft fresh bread! The recipe above looks great.

  • It looks hearty, but not too hearty if you know what I mean. I’m going to pick up a loaf!

  • I would love to switch our bread. I have to do it slowly…

  • Sounds like a fun sandwich and I love the cut out, that is cute!

  • We are a whole grains family. I love the smiley face, too cute and that recipe sounds delicious!

  • Anna

    I would really like to try their bread – it looks great and we eat a lot of bread in my family.
    Thanks for the opportunity.

  • Sounds like great bread!

  • I love making shapes with bread. The children love it too.

The Family Launch Pad – An Organized Start To Your Day

Having a great day often requires little more than simple organization, and a lack of it can really start us off on the wrong foot. Not getting ready ahead of time can cause anything from not being able to find your keys, to not having time to sit and have a good breakfast because you’re […]
