How to Prepare Your Family Car for Winter

Hello, friends!

Hope you’re having a great day so far! As you might know, my family and I live in Michigan which just has absolutely brutal winters. And since we’re always on the go, it’s so important that our vehicle is always prepared to get us where we need to go safely.

I wanted to share a few tips my husband taught me about how we should be getting our car prepped and ready for winter. Those husbands, always teaching us something, right? 😉

How to Prepare Your Family Car for Winter:

  1. Change Your Oil: During the winter months the oil in your vehicle should be well-maintained, and thinner so be sure to check (or have your mechanic check) before winter is here.
  2. Check Your Battery: Make sure you’re heading into winter with a good battery in your car, your battery works harder in the winter so it’s important to check to make sure it’s functioning correctly before winter hits.
  3. Check Your Tires: As we prepped our car for winter, we realized we were in need of some new tires. So we got a total tire upgrade with Goodyear® Assurance® WeatherReady™ tires from Sam’s Club. These tires are pretty incredible because they can tackle any extreme weather condition. They’ve got 3D TredLock® Technology Blades, that give the tires predictable traction in turns when the weather changes. It’s so important for us to have good tires living in a state where you can truly experience every season, and it makes me feel so much more confident knowing that in rain, sleet or shine, I’ll be able to get where we need to go safety. With the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady tires from Sam’s Club, our vehicle is ready to take on the road!
  4. Create a Car Emergency Kit: You never know if or where your car will break down, so it’s always good to be prepared. A car emergency kit is something that takes just minutes to put together and could really get you out of a pinch. Having a container of kitty litter in your kit (in case you get stuck and need traction), flashlight, blankets, and ice scrapers could come in really handy this winter – so be sure to include them in your kit.
  5. Check Your Antifreeze: Your ratio of coolant should be 60/40 in the winter instead of the 50/50 norm, so be sure to check.

My kiddos are such precious cargo, I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can to keep them safe. I’m thankful the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady can offer our family both confidence that our money is well spent, and the good value of product we received.

I’m going to be completely honest and tell you I knew nothing about tires before having this experience, but now that I do, I know why it’s so important to make sure you’ve got a quality tire on your vehicle, and these tires are it!

Now that we’ve got our car prepped for winter, we’re ready to hit the road! I’ve been loving exploring more and more with the boys as they get older – even if it’s just driving a bit outside of our neighborhood to explore a new park. They love it, and I love getting outside to do something fun as a family. Win-win.

🌧 We left this morning to go pick up our puppy and in the rain, in a not-so-nice part of town, our windshield wipers stopped working completely. (See stories) 🙈

🧰 Luckily my hubby was able to get us home safely, fix the problem, and now we’re back on the road!

🐶 CAN’T WAIT TO FINALLY GET OUR GAL!

#ad 💜The day I got my Endometriosis diagnosis w #ad 💜The day I got my Endometriosis diagnosis was also the day I was told that if I wanted kids, I needed to have them ASAP. 

I was 23 years old.

I had just had my first ever laparoscopy after dealing with years and years of unexplained pain with hopes that the doctors would finally be able to solve the puzzle, and would finally be able to figure me out.”

🥵 When I wake up on a bad pain day and already feel defeated it can be hard to make my toes touch the floor. Sometimes my body and mind make me feel like there’s no point - that whatever my day holds will include an intense pain, and I’ll have to deal with it whether I like it or not.

💕 But if I stretch myself just a little, put on a cute sweatsuit and mascara - I begin to build an armor. But instead of this armor keeping me safe from the world, it’s keeping me safe from myself, my illness, and the thought that it controls me.

☁️ It’s like being wrapped in warm, cozy comfort, even though your insides are hurting. And on weeks where I just can’t get a break with my pain, I kick things up a notch and throw on a party dress - preferably something with a little pizzaz. 

✨That’s why I really fell in love with clothing, because I can’t change the inside, I can’t make my illness go away, but I can combat it with my own kind of light. ✨

🧠 He has an amazing memory. If he sees  something once it’s locked in his brain forever. When we drove to Disney World last year, he memorized how we got there & told us the directions in reverse to get home.

💕 Being an #autism momma definitely has its challenging moments, it’s a whole other world, really. But if you enter that world with love and acceptance it’s one of the most beautiful things you’ll ever see.

I’ve been blogging since 2009, and over the years I’ve learned a lot and worked with a lot of brands. I don’t have a massive following, but I still provide for my family 100% doing what I do. 

I want to help others who are out there trying, too. Especially those who are chronically ill like myself, I feel like there are sooo many things I could share that save time / energy that would be helpful.

So guess what? I’m going to share it all with you! I don’t have an agent, I’ve negotiated all contracts myself, and I learned everything I know (this was back before Pinterest or Instagram) from google and books. 

Basically, what I’m saying is - if I can do this, you can too. So let’s do it together, you in? Who wants to up their content income in 2021?
