“Car crashes are the number one killer of children 1 to 12 years old in the United States.” - National Highway Traffic Safety Administration It’s a shocking statistic. Fortunately, we can all do something to lower the numbers and to better protect our children – educate ourselves. Despite the numerous books claiming to have the best … [Read more...]
I posted recently about how family road trips used to be (back in my day - some 35 years ago!). Things sure have changed since I was little - some for the good and some not-so-good. When we take road trips these days, everyone is safely bucked in their seats and we have plenty of electronics to keep us busy! The most recent trip my family … [Read more...]
Alamo Rent a Car The family road trips of my childhood are so different than traveling these days. For one thing, the cars were huge!

I was excited to share that memory with my kids, especially now that Jeffery is tall enough to ride some … [Read more...]
Earlier this month my family and I went on a much needed family vacation. Our first stop was Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg, Virginia where we had a night booked. We had been a few times before and we didn't tell the kids where we were going, they had mentioned before they wanted to go back there so we knew they would be excited! Once we pulled … [Read more...]
Words can't describe how excited I am about this news! I was invited to NYC with 24 other bloggers for Marvel's the Avengers, which is closing out the Tribeca Film Festival, at the end of April! The really neat thing is that the real, everyday heroes will be celebrated. These include heroes from police agencies, fire departments, first … [Read more...]
This post was written by Gretta, who is a contributor here at Eighty MPH Mom, and I asked her to write a piece about her missionary work - it is fascinating! The decision Have you ever tried to do life your way and things just don't ever seem to work out for you? My husband and I tried several different things over the past 10 … [Read more...]
Each summer, my daughter's Sea Scouts crew goes on a summer cruise for 10 days. They sail their ship (that they've worked so hard to maintain) around the local waterways and make stops along the way for some good old fashioned fun. Last summer my daughter was still pretty new to Sea Scouts and she wasn't quite ready to go on the cruise. This … [Read more...]
