What is the deal?? Car issues are a drag!

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
So I am keeping a good attitude about this but it just seems so very odd.

On Wednesday my husband was out n about and then his car did not start so me and the kiddos had to go rescue him and we went to buy a new battery for his car and then it was all good.

Then yesterday my car did not start.  Hubby came home and jumped in and we thought I must not have shut a door tight or something??  But then it died again....:(  My battery is only 2 years old so last night he took the battery out and hooked it up to this charger thingy.  This morning he said it started.  I have not gone anywhere today so I will try it this afternoon.

Praying that there are no more attacks on our vehicles.  They are both paid for so doing maintenance is better then a car payment every month.  I just do not want to have my car die when I am out with 2 young kids!

I think my car had sympathy pains for you this weekend! The alternator died on our way out of town for the 4th weekend. Luckily we weren't that far from home and really lucky my boyfriend knows a little something about cars because he fixed it right up on Saturday.

It sounds a little like your alternator in your car might have gone out. My car battery would hold a charge from being jumped, but since the alternator wasn't working the charge would quickly die out while we were driving and then wouldn't start up if we stopped (or after it died).

If it is your alternator it isn't too difficult to fix and you can probably have your hubby just do it and get the part at autozone. Not very expensive either :)

Good luck!!! I hope it all turns out to be something easy to fix!

Sara-Glad your hubby is good with cars. Mine is too! He actually had to change his alternator a couple months ago in his car. My car seems to be doing great so far! :)

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Packing for your first ski trip

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack.  Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
