Food is always the most important thing about any occasion or activity, and road trips are no exception. Along with activity bags, you’re going to need some healthy and fun snacks.
A few weeks ago, MyBlogSpark sent me these Nature Valley Nut Clusters to sample, and we loved them!

I am an amateur photographer at best, but the Canon Rebel XSi is a professional camera so it makes me better than I actually am. I love the quality of the photos I’m able to take, and I have to give most of the credit to Canon for creating a user friendly camera that just takes professional quality photos.

{The winner of the Trunki suitcase is Michelle! She said, “I saw these months ago, and almost bought a pair for my kids. My practicality and lack of budget prevented me from clicking the “BUY” button, but I still think they’re awesome. My oldest might be a tad big for it now, but I’m sure she’d still ride one with no hesitation whatsoever.}
