Safety Features to Consider for a Family Car

Image
This is a sponsored post by Arrigo.  All opinions shared and expressed are 100% our own. We shared with you our tips on what to look for when in the market for a  new  family car .  While fuel economy and space are part of that list, this time we want to talk a bit more about safety features.  Sometimes, safety matters just as much budget for a family car purchase, don't you agree? If you are the soccer mom or the designated chauffeur for the day, life is too hectic, and we need to rid ourselves of extra worries (like how safe my car really is).  Driving around your precious cargo focusing on the family fun at hand should be the norm.  If your teen is about ready to drive the car, same principle will apply.  So here is a good starting point regarding the safety of the actual car.

Getting to Know Genesis Rodriguez- AKA Honey Lemon in the New Disney Animated Movie: Big Hero 6

Last week we went to the pre-screening of Big Hero 6, the awesome new animated Disney film.  There is no other way to say it: We Loved it! It was a huge hit with all of our family members.  After the movie viewing, we got to know one of its characters via the voice that brings Honey Lemon to life. We don't want to give much away yet because we are preparing a review of the film for you.  However, we don't want to leave you hanging either, so here is the synopsis of the movie: From Walt Disney Animation Studios, the team behind “Frozen” and “Wreck-It Ralph,” comes “Big Hero 6,” an action-packed comedy-adventure about the special bond that develops between Baymax (voice of Scott Adsit), a plus-sized inflatable robot, and prodigy Hiro Hamada.

I am thinking of a watch for Senhor Cool for Christmas.  Hubby appreciates a great time piece, and has been wanting something that one day he can pass along as a herlooms to the kids.  I can't tell you how excited I am to have discovered Don Roberto Jewelers who is sponsoring this post.  I went directly to the watch collection   because I am a girl that loves the sparkle of diamonds, precious stones platinum and white gold.  I could easily sidetrack from my search if I let my heart wander at its content at Don Roberto Jeweler's site . I wasn't sure if I wanted something sporty, something classic or something really traditional Would you have chosen any of these for the man in your life?  I finally settle on the first one.  It will be something he can enjoy every day.
