I love working the weekend shift. Work for three days off for a week. Repeat. It does get tough because Eva is so used to me being home and then not being able to spend much time with me for a couple of days, even when I am in the house, is tough. Yesterday after we got back from brunch Eva wanted to make Flower Princesses. Allison’s friend Elise had sent Eva a Klutz kit on making Flower Princesses/Fairies/Little Dolls. The kit is for an 8 year old so Eva was going to need some help to do this. She wanted me to make them with her but I had yet to sleep so I promised her an hour of time that we’d make these, that was today. Continue reading Creating Flower Princesses→
I was given the opportunity to run a $35 Gift Card Giveaway sponsored by Jiffy Lube and share with you tips from Jiffy Lube for Winter Driving. I have taken my car to Jiffy Lube many times over the past ten years of ownership. I’ve had really good experiences with Jiffy Lube and so I was happy to provide this giveaway to my readers. Below are some winter driving tips from Jiffy Lube.
Winter Driving Tips
Check Your Vitals: Knowing how to check for proper antifreeze and windshield washer fluid levels, battery power and tire pressure – among other key vehicle components – is a must to help conquer cold-weather driving.
Fill Up: Keeping your gas tank at least half full will help avoid gas line freeze-up. To conserve gas, run the heater just long enough to defrost.
Check Your Oil Grade: Using the recommended grade of oil for the winter months can help save money. Simply using your vehicle manufacturer’s recommended oil grade (found in your owner’s manual) can improve gas mileage by one-to-two percent.
Avoid Panic: If your vehicle breaks down or the weather makes it difficult to drive, you could find yourself stuck on the side of the road in freezing temperatures and in need of a vehicle emergency kit. Suggested items to have on hand include a first aid kit, jumper cables, a flashlight, bottled water, extra blankets, gloves and hat, energy bars, duct tape, a can of Fix-a-Flat®, an ice scraper and a hand shovel.
The Jiffy Lube Gift Card can be redeemed for the popular Jiffy Lube Signature Service® Oil Change, which provides drivers with much more than just an oil and filter change. The service includes changing, inspecting, checking/filling and cleaning key vehicle parts and fluids and offers drivers a quick and convenient way to maintain their vehicle.
A Jiffy Lube Gift Card can be loaded with any dollar amount from $5 to $300 and can be redeemed toward any Jiffy Lube preventive maintenance service.
The card has no inactivity fees or expiration date and it’s available for purchase at www.jiffylube.com or in-store.
Disclosure: I received two gift cards from giveaway sponsor, Jiffy Lube. The driving tips were also provided by Jiffy Lube.
