Bugs Off Pads – Trial and Honest Review

Bugs Off Pads – Trial and Honest Review

Living in the middle of Arkansas Delta farmland definitely has its advantages and disadvantages.  One huge advantage is the reasonable cost of living, but an equally huge disadvantage is bugs… and lots of them! In fact, driving down the highway here at night is pretty much guaranteed to get your vehicle completely covered with bugs (or at least what is left of them).  They hit the windshield with such frequency, it sounds like you’re in the middle of a storm, and people around here call it “bug rain”. The problem with all these bugs is that not only do they

A New Adventure – Ski Biking In Colorado

A New Adventure – Ski Biking In Colorado

When’s the last time you tried something new…I mean something totally different??  For us it was just last week. We had planned our family ski trip to Colorado some months back, and as the date approached I started having some doubts. You see, I learned to ski later in life (age 40) and honestly I would categorize my skill level as beginner. I enjoy getting up on the mountain, riding the lifts, and seeing the beautiful snow-covered peaks, but the way down is always a bit…bumpy! Along with my mediocre skiing skills, this year added injury to my plight. Recent

Adventure Of A Lifetime…Dogsledding In The Rockies

This week I had a bucket list experience…and honestly I didn’t even realize how much I would enjoy it!   The boys had planned a day of skiing on the mountain and because I don’t ski (it’s a long story…) I knew that I had the day to myself.  So, I searched for activities to do in Summit county, CO. and I stumbled across a dog sledding place in Breckenridge (Good Time Adventures). They had one spot left and because I was feeling adventurous I went ahead and booked a solo trip.  Getting there was somewhat nerve-racking…the forecast was for
