Free Gas! ~ and a Giveaway

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own.

No really! Though I am not giving away free gas, Honda is! This coming weekend SoCal Honda Dealers want to reward Honda drivers by giving them free tanks of gas. Watch the video below to see last year's event!


So this Memorial Day, be on the look-out for those helpful Honda guys (and girls) at gas stations all over Southern California. They will be giving away free tanks of gas, pumping the gas and even washing your windshields!





In case you don't own a Honda, or live in SoCal, the helpful Honda guys are also offering some great items to giveaway - just because! So enter below for your chance at winning a great prize pack - one LA Galaxy t-shirt, one honda polo and a Dodger water bottle!

Use the rafflecopter form below to enter. Giveaway ends 6/3/13 at 12:00 AM. Any US resident is eligible to enter. Good luck!

After the Fire

It has been a crazy couple of months around here - and one of the things I've let slide is my photography! I'm linking back up with "Scavenger Hunt Sunday," though this week I thought I'd highlight some of the photography from the other two awesome people that live in my crazy house :)

I love the fact that my husband and I see things totally differently! We would never take the same shot. It's pretty amazing to me that we can see such totally different things through the lens of a camera. He is very talented - so enjoy some of his photos today. There was an expansive fire in the Santa Monica Mountains last week, and he went out and shot some great photos from right after the fire...

Three 
 Ok, maybe there are four, but when looking through the photos it looked like they were all in clusters of three. No idea what the plant is, but there are still parts that are green!


Sign

Not even the sign escaped the fire!


Bench

Yes, I know the actual scavenger hunt word was "fence," but I just LOVE this shot, so I changed it to bench! How desolate it appears...


Cuddle

It's not that often that my two year old sits still for a cuddle these days - and why the shot is a bit blurry. It took lots of cars to keep him in one place!


Hands
This is the debut photo taken by my little guy! He was trying out taking pictures with the camera and this was the result! I love his little toes in the bottom of the shot....and that you can see his shadow taking the picture! Maybe he'll love taking pictures like his parents :)

Have a wonderful week! Hope you enjoyed the photos!

I Have so Much Energy!

Join the Revolt :) It's almost the end of week three! When I started this program, I was certain I was not going to make it. 

The food plan scared me. 

So much food - the same food six days a week. The SAME food 6 days a week. But...and this is a big but. It's been great. You make all the food for the week on one day. This means that I don't have to Monday - Saturday. With a toddler, this is awesome. I admit, by Thursday I am not excited about the menu anymore - but you can substitute meals and it is so exciting to have a new meal!



This week, we had coconut curry chicken. My favorite dish so far! I also love the mango smoothies :)

If you want to join - sign up here or click on the banner above. It's only $10 a month. I can't say enough good things about it so far. I feel great, have so much energy, feel stronger, happier, and am enjoying the great people that I have "met." Every month a new group starts - goes through sugar detox (yay bananas and eggs) together and bond over sore muscles and great progress! Next week I'll measure myself and see what kind of progress I've made with the numbers! I feel the progress, regardless :)

Reasons my Child is Laughing

My son is filled with laughter these days...it's fun to watch him learn about humor :)

Reasons he laughs?
- Someone else is laughing
- The puzzle piece is in the wrong spot
- He is being tickled
- He is tickling you!
- There is a pile of cars on his lap


- Someone is chasing him
- He is being thrown in the air
- His food is in the wrong place
- He is talking to himself
- A snail is moving
- You are singing The Wheels on the Bus
- There is a tunnel up ahead
- Green lights in the car - go!
- He's two - something has to be funny :)

What makes your little ones laugh?
