Farewell to the Ford Flex
It was this very same time of year back in 2010 when I reviewed the Ford Flex back in 2010. Yes, I am talking about cars again and with a bit of nostalgia. Why? Because I hold fond memories of this flat-roof, rib-sided wagon-like mobile. 2011 Ford Flex (mummysproductreviews.com) The Flex: What is it? When the Ford Flex arrived we had our third kid only a few months before. I was intrigued by the idea of having a car that was like both an SUV and a station wagon. How would it drive? What kind of storage did this vehicle contain? In the end, what the heck is it? Is it a crossover or an SUV? Maybe it is a station wagon? "If you took an SUV and mated it with a station wagon you would get the Ford Flex.” -Dominic Mason, my husband. What looked like a funky mix of a wagon and … [Read more...]

Then & Now with a Ford Mustang
A lot can change in 17 years. A LOT. Proof. This is H and me the night we met. Our first "date". Back when dates could be filed under sorority formals. And this was the car that he drove to pick me up. A 1995 Ford Mustang in bright red. Source I cringed when he picked me up that night in that khaki vest. I groaned aloud when I saw the car and made some remark about how it figured that a boy like him would drive a car like that. We were a blind date. This was no normal meet-cute across the campus quad. The rest is history. We went on so many dates in that car. I realized that this man can really make me laugh in almost any situation and smile. We took trips together and I helped him get his old Mustang ready to sell when he shipped off to Okinawa with the Marine Corps a few … [Read more...]
Ford F-150: One truck, a Million Ways to Work
2015 Ford F-150 4x4 Supercab Fully redesigned for 2015 the new Ford F-150 boasts aluminium body panels and some small style changes that creates a rugged look that offers more substance rather than just sleek style. Don't me wrong, the grille and headlights are striking but there is no mistaking this is an F-150 and that is not a bad thing. I was excited to test this truck out. I haven't been behind the wheel of a truck for everyday driving purposes in almost ten years and I missed it. I'll willingly admit I was hesitant about it too. Last time I didn't have three kids in the extended cab behind me to shuttle to school. I burn a lot of gas that way each week but it was nice to have the usefulness of a truck which also contained a 2.7L Ecoboost V-6 engine. I didn't go through nearly … [Read more...]

When it comes to Valentine's Day all my hard ass ways go out the window. I'm such a sucker for this overly commercialized un-real holiday.

I love dressing in reds, pops of pink and making Valentine's for my girls bedroom doors each year.

Disclosure: TMC was not paid for this post. Products received are for review purposes only. Opinions are TMC's only. 2014 Ford C-MAX Energi We all want to do good this time of year and help out our fellow man. Normally, I do the whole donation of food, clothing and give money to various charities. This year, I wanted and felt the real need to get involved and do more. Ford asked me to review their C-MAX Energi and incorporate it into their One Tank of Good campaign. It sums up to mean, what can you do with one tank of gas? With the Ford C-MAX Energi it felt limitless! For three weeks I put out the word with friends, family, co-workers, whoever I could think of that the girls and I were holding a clothing drive to benefit ACTS in Dumfries, VA. In particular, I wanted to give … [Read more...]
The Sporty & Affordable 2014 Mazda Mazda6
*Disclosure: TMC was not paid for this post. Products received are for review purposes only. Opinions are TMC's only. The Mazda Mazda6 for 2014 is a bit of a stunner. I had no idea this would be the case and only an inkling when it arrived at my front door. Immediately I was drawn in by its grill, a style that has become increasingly popular with other brands, and its 'Soul Red' color. Moving inside I found another reason to love the Mazda6. The interior seat styling in almond leather is not just nice to look at and feel but it gives the car a sportier look that took it a step beyond regular sedan. Shortly after taking the Mazda6 on the road I realized I wasn't the only one who felt this way. Neighbors walked around the car, inspecting it, each time it was parked. People stopped me in … [Read more...]
