Kia Optima Hybrid | Style + Price = WINNER!

November 7, 2013 by Billie Hillier Leave a Comment

The Kia Optima Hybrid was the most fun to review because I was able to absolutely screw with my family while laughing on the inside hysterically. When the car was delivered to my home I got it the Optima Hybrid to pull it into my drive way and the car wouldn't start. Panic sat in... and more... and more. I couldn't get the car to start. Then, I ...

Kia Optima SX & a Blogger ROAD TRIP

April 22, 2013 by Billie Hillier 26 Comments

Eleanor from Eleanor Prior and Wendy from Wendys Hat joined me to go to Bloggy Boot Camp in Scottsdale, AZ last weekend. I picked up the ladies up at Eleanor's house at 4:30 AM and we hit the road. It was dark ...

Tell Congress to Support Organic Farming

April 8, 2013 by Billie Hillier Leave a Comment

[embedit snippet="take-part"]   Congress will soon vote on a new farm bill - the federal measure with the greatest impact on the food we eat. Currently, your tax dollars go to highly profitable agribusinesses that don't need the help and to people who don't live anywhere near a farm. The government does very little to help farmers grow ...

Good Cook Knives Giveaway

April 7, 2013 by Billie Hillier 1 Comment

  I have to admit... I am a knife snob. If it's not forged steel with a foreign name on it I don't want it in my knife drawer... until now! We received the set of 6 non-stick knives ($125 value) to test and my husband rolled his eyes while laughing stating that these would not pass OUR kitchen test. WOW were we WRONG! After testing ...

Kia Sorento Review – My Top Pick To Date

March 27, 2013 by Billie Hillier Leave a Comment

Sorento Review If you read my Kia Sportage Review, you will know what my family situation is for cars. Basically the bad math is 2 cars x 4 drivers = frustration. While trying to decide what to do for a third car for the family we are doing a lot of research to make sure we make a smart decision. After testing the Kia Sportage I thought we might ...

Kia 2014 Sorento Review

March 26, 2013 by Billie Hillier Leave a Comment

2014 Kia Sorento Review Overview:  Take a look at the 2013 Sorento and then the 2014 Sorento.  Looks pretty similar, right?  Oh you'll see a few changes but not a lot.  So why did Kia release the 2014 model so early?  Take a deeper look and you will find that almost everything is changed from the 2013 model.  In fact, Kia says that about 80% of ...

Kia Sportage EX Review — Mom vs Dad Perspective

March 26, 2013 by Billie Hillier Leave a Comment

  Kia Sportage EX Review It's amazing what one person sees and wants vs another. Whether you are looking for a home, shopping for decor or... buying a car. Bob and I pretty much agree on most things but when it comes to buying cars ---- well, we have NEVER agreed on which brand, when and why. {THAT is a whole article on itself.} Now to the ...

Mazda 6 | Zoom Zoom

December 7, 2012 by Billie Hillier Leave a Comment

California Wine Club – Review of a Great Doorstep Find! #CAWineClub

November 16, 2012 by Billie Hillier Leave a Comment

California Wine Club California Wine Club I don't do too many reviews and am very selective about which ones I do. When I saw the opportunity to review wine from the California Wine club I knew Chef Bob would be VERY happy about it. And he was... and our wine fridge! Well, the wine didn't stay in there too long - just enough time for it to chill ...
