I had a busy week last week! Last Sunday, we got back home after spending over a week in the 5th wheel RV for hubby’s work. We had to unload the RV, wash clothes, clean up the RV, and then get it ready for storage. We also had warm weather so the kids wanted to go to the community pool. My Princess and I still have 20 days left of Homeschool Kindergarten (yes, we are going year round!) On top of that, we had to get ready for an awesome 4th of July celebration. And lastly? We needed to get ready for our trip to Southern California. This week we are taking a family vacation. No work related travel, or blog related travel at all – just fun family time!
Is your life super busy too?
Praise the Lord, we had the amazing 2015 Chevrolet Suburban to drive around last week! Honestly, I didn’t want to give it back. It was the perfect vehicle for all the trips we had to make to the city. {We live in a rural county and our small town doesn’t have much more than a little grocery store so most of our errands, appointments and shopping is done about 25 minutes away.}
10 Reasons I Love the Chevrolet Suburban
My husband and I both really loved driving around this awesome family friendly SUV. I am sure his top ten might be different than mine. But from a mom’s perspective, these are my top 10 reasons for loving the Suburban.
- Cargo Space – you can seat up to 9 (on LS models) and the seating is roomy and so comfortable.
- Keyless Entry and Push Start Button – no more keys! This feature is just plain cool.
- Air Conditioned and Heated Seats – this time of year with errands, appointments and more it is nice to get into a car and cool your seats down. My behind was quite happy. (In the Suburban LTZ models.)
- Smooth Ride – I have not owned a vehicle that has rode as smooth as this 2015 Suburban. It is smooth and quiet on all types of roads in my county. We commented on this many times.
- Storage – with two kids, lots of electronics, and just stuff – having adequate storage is important. The center console alone is large enough to fit a laptop people! There is hidden storage under the floor, adequate door storage, a 15 cup holders!
- Chevrolet MyLink – an 8 inch color screen that you can touch and rearrange includes navigation, weather, Pandora and more. You can sync up to 10 devices via Bluetooth technology as well!
- Charging Locations – you will find 12 charging locations including USB ports and a standard 110 volt 3-prong outlet.
- Blu-ray DVD Player – my kids loved this feature the most. Honestly, as a busy mom to two kids this feature was so appreciated. The kids didn’t scream, yell, fight, or cry in the car all week. They were too busy watching their favorite movies!
- Parking Assist – this car helps you front park and back up . With a camera, sensors, and radar – navigating this SUV is made simple with this awesome feature.
- Lane Departure Warning – if you go over the lines in the Chevrolet Suburban your sit will vibrate! How cool is this? This feature saved me a few times this week when I got distracted.
Oh, and I can’t fail to mention that on the 4th of July at 4:45 pm it started to rain as we were driving to a potluck BBQ. And do you know what happened? The wipers turned on all by themselves. This very smart, very perfect vehicle sensed the rain on the windshield and started the wipers for us. WOW! This Suburban truly is ready for anything!

A trip to Yellowstone where we got to see the geysers go off. And bears. And elk. Fun trip.
Thanks for the contest.
my most memorable day I have had with my teen daughter was a bus ride down from New Jersey to Florida (we are both afraid of flying). What was a sad trip to go say goodbye to Florida grandpa (my dad was dying) the 24 hour trip down was a truly bonding experience. We reconnected and formed a stronger bond. It may not sound like the best time ever to some due to circumstances but it truly was for our already strong relationship!
For me, it was a year ago on the 4th of July when I was blessed to have all 3 of my kids with my hubby and me as well as all my granddaughters and inlaws…..
It took several years for us to get together and I will always value this memory.
“Disney World~”
Thanks, Cindi
Most memorable moment was when we took them to Disney WOrld. All had a blast!
When we are at home playing games and everyone is laughing.
My most memorable day with my kids is when we went on a cruise a couple of years ago. We had so much fun.
too many to choose one, but recently, we all had a picnic on the beach which was fun.
My most memorable day with my kids was the day we spent hiking in the
Grand Canyon.
my most memorable day recently was this past weekend. we got hit by hurricane arthur and were without power for over 24 hours, so we spent the day sitting outside by the pool with family and friends, just talking and playing with the kids. it was a great day
When my daughter was just a baby, I was changing her diaper and poop shot out of her but straight across the room. It splattered the walls, etc. I’ll never forget it! lol
The most memorable time with my kids was tubing down the Salt river in AZ
we were doing a military PCS and we stopped at mount Rushmore, it was so awesome to do just this random road stop got some great pictures!
Family vacations are always memorable
My most memorable day is taking the gang to a lake we hadn’t been before, and it was fantastic!
No kids – but taking my niece to the playground was a great day (for me). She had so much fun showing me what she could do. Another little girl wanted my attention and my niece said “That’s MY Aunt Liz – you can’t talk to her”. Heehee – so sharing isn’t her favorite thing, but it sure made ME feel special and loved!
My memorable day is when we went to the beach and collected shells together. We had a Suburban when I was growing up, and we took a trip from NY to CO in it, 4 people and our dog, it is a great car.
Going to the exotic animal rescue
my baby broke her arm
My most memorable days are the ones when we do something simple like go to the park for a few hours, or go bowling or ice skating as a family.
The time we all went to Disneyland in California.
The time we went to San Diego
taking them to their first proper broadway musical — priceless!

My most memorable day with the kids is when we went to Disney World for the first time. Thanks for the giveaway!
No kids yet!
My most memorable day with my daughter was when we took a trip to Niagara Falls. She really enjoyed watching the waterfall and the boat ride.
When my daughter was born, She was in the NICU for over a week. I ended up being diagnosed with a rare pregnancy related condition, called PPCM and was in heart failure as a result. I was told I might not make it through the night. I looked up at the ceiling and knew that four floors above me, my daughter was waiting. I knew they were wrong, and I would make it! My most bittersweet memory is bringing my daughter home to meet the boys, after being released from the hospital earlier that morning, myself. Seeing their faces helped me to know it was time to fight!
giving birth!
I love spending quality time with my children while they are still young. They grow up way to fast.
This truck sounds amazing. I had a Dodge Durango in January and loved it too.
My most memorable moment was when I took the kids to see their great uncle and it was snowing and wouldn’t let them inside. We live in Florida, so it was something they were not used to. Needless to say, bad for them, but good for me, I learned not to take them there again.
No kids, but the most memorable would have to be the last day before my mom passed away.
We went to a music fest in the neighborhood a few weeks ago it was fun!
We took the kids to the zoo for the first time and it was great to see their faces as they saw all the new animals. They were both passed out about five minutes after leaving, lol.
Long drives on summer vacation. Great and/or hectic times.
Hi! Oh my goodness, there’s so many memorable moments (both good and not so good – lol). My son is grown now and has a son of his own. A memorable moment that happened recently was going to the hospital when the baby was born. I was so proud of how excited he was, what a great hands-on dad he was being, and what an awesome helpful & supportive partner he was being to my daughter in-law. It was a whole bunch of awesomeness all rolled up together! Thank-you!!
Its hard to choose just one. Giving birth to them is very memorable.

My most memorable moment would have to be (of course) the day he arrived! The best day ever!
I have a ton of great memorable days, One I remember most is when we took each of our kids to the zoo for their first times the look of utter amazement was heart warming.
I don’t have any kids. But I was a nanny for 5 years for 4 kids. And spending time with them was always fun, and if I was in a bad mood they’d always cheer me up. Loved taking them to the park.
I just had a most memorable day with my grandson over the 4th of July weekend. He is just starting to walk some now. But he would get excited and do his fast crawl and want grandma to chase behind him. He would turn around, sit up and just laugh his head off at me.
That would be when my son graduated Middle school
There are so many. Probably, thus far, the days they were born. I treasure those memories so much. I love our Chevy trailblazer but the suburban looks awesome too.

My most memorable day with the kids is when we got to go to Lake Michigan with my parents and other family. We had a big cookout and celebrated my daughters birthday, along with 2 other family birthdays on the same day. Everyone had a awesome time.
My most memorable day is going to Disney. My son still talks about all the rides that he loved.
My kids are still young so its all their first things they have done, or when they have pooped and its gone all the way up the back when sitting in the carseat.
My best memory with the kids is the first time they ever went to disney world the looks and smiles on their faces was priceless it was a great time
I have so many great memorable days with all my children. One bad one that stands out ( I drove up there today) was the day when I had my 2 step kids with me. the brakes went completely out in my car. the emergency break did not work! the scariest moment. something happened to where we stopped at the top of a hill. several feet more and we would have ended up going down it.
Every day with my kids is memorable.

Think it had to be the day my kids played in the rain and slid in the mud. They just kept checking that we were ok with them doing. Then they got to laughing so hard that we thought it was ok.

Day at the zoo is the most memorable
One night the power went out for hours, and as a family we sat around the kitchen table, lit candles and played board games all night long. In a world where television and social media take precedence over human interaction, it was a truley lovely night where we all ignores the outside world and were just a family
