The All New 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander

We are in the market for a new vehicle, a family vehicle, one that will make raising boys even more fun and adventurous. A utility vehicle is ideal for us, and we recently learned about the new 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander, a compact CUV with seven passenger seating for families that are always on the run […]

  • Sounds like a pretty neat vehicle.

  • What a sweet ride! The Outlander looks so roomy!

  • Billie

    What a snazzy car, lots of great features.

  • Maryann

    looks nice. We needed something that could hold 3 car seats so we had limited options.

  • The first thing that popped into my head with that lane departure warning is that it could potentially save lives given the fact that way too many people text and drive.

  • Looks like a great car

  • Love the features and it looks great!!

  • Mellisa

    That is AWESOME!!! To bad I am not looking for a new car.

  • Very nice. That’s a ton of storage when you put the seats down.

  • Jenn

    Thanks for the review. We’re looking to upgrade to an SUV since baby #2 arrived.

  • Looks like an awesome vehicle!

  • Very nice vehicle!

  • Looks like a great car.

  • It looks like the perfect family vehicle.

  • I have almost all of the vehicles in my current SUV but the forward collision mitigation. I’ve never heard of this but what an awesome feature!

  • That is one nice looking vehicle. Certainly better than the mini van I am currently sporting.

  • looks roomie

  • This is a nice looking ride.

  • This is one of the cars we drove that I didn’t care for.

To My Dear Readers,

I am observing a few days of silence to honor the victims of Sandy Hook. I will not be online, checking email, taking calls, tweeting, or engaging in any social media. I’ve spent these last few days contemplating one of the most vile things I have ever heard of, crying endlessly, but I don’t think […]

Keeping Your Feline Family Members Happy For The Holidays

This post brought to you by Comfort Zone® products. All opinions are 100% mine. The holidays are a lot of fun, but can also be stressful, especially for those members of your family you wouldn’t think are affected by the holidays- namely, your beloved pets. Pets can be affected by environmental changes, such as those […]

  • I wonder if they have something similar for dogs.

  • Penelope

    They do!

  • I am lucky that we don’t have those issues with our pets!

  • I need this for our pets.

  • Great coupon. Definitely going to look into these products.

  • oh gosh.. this would have been perfect for my cat, Sassy.. god how I miss her 🙁

  • I’ll have to share this with my SIL as her dog has this problem.

  • we dont have pets but my mom has a dog

  • I don’t have cats but thanks for sharing.

  • I will keep this in mind if we get a cat, which wouldn’t be until after our German Shepherd passes … so hopefully not for so time.

  • My parents had a dog with bad anxiety but I wasn’t aware cats could have similar fears. Its good to know there’s a solution available.

  • We don’t have pets but I might be getting my toddler a kitten soon.. I’ll keep this in mind!

  • Donna

    I’m glad they have something for dogs, too!

  • I’m not a cat owner but have stayed with those that own cats. If people don’t know how to properly cover the odor, it can easily overtake the house. What a handy product.

Family Holiday Movie Night #FlatOutPizza

This is my favorite time of year, the time we decorate, and celebrate, and see family and friends we may not have seen all year. It’s a time of great food and fun parties, and I love to have people over. We recently hosted a Holiday Movie Night for some family and friends with their […]

  • Your tree pizzas are adorable! What a great and festive idea!

  • I love the Christmas tree pizza! I have to try this with my daughter!

  • This sounds like such a fun get together! I’ve used Flatbread for sandwiches before but never tried it as a pizza base, definitely going to now, they look delicious!

  • Jennifer The Quirky Momma

    What a fun and great idea! I think my family should start a make your own pizza and watch a movie tradition!

  • Wait a second…gingerbread cookie butter? WHAT!? Where can I get this?

  • It looks like you had a blast! Great photos.

  • Penelope

    Trader Joe’s, it’s awesome 🙂 We put it inside the Flatout Flatbreads and made roll-ups out of it, soo yummy!

  • Aw shucks! We don’t have Trader Joe’s down here in South Florida. I will have to see if it’s something that I can order online!

  • Mellisa

    I love how you made them into little Christmas trees!

  • Sounds really good!

  • I love the pizza cut out. That’s so neat!

  • Love the Christmas tree pizzas. Looks like you guys had a great night together. 🙂

  • james

    The pizzas look awesome! I used to be a chef, and teaching my kids how to make fun, easy holiday snacks is always a favorite! We’ve been DVR’ing a ton this year, as I accidentally lost our holiday movie box in the move earlier this year, and Miracle is a definite must-have! I work a lot of late nights at DISh now, but our new Hopper DVR can store up to 2,000 hours of TV or film. I set PrimeTime Anytime, which records the primetime lineup from the big four networks, and I can still record two other networks simultaneously. ABC Family’s 25 Days of Christmas is another big hit, and our holiday movie supply is being quickly restocked! Have a happy holiday and keep cooking!

  • What a fun, family activity and perfect for the holiday season!

  • Christi @ The Thriftynistas

    It looks like you all had plenty of fun.
