Chevy Malibu’s Remote Start

by Smockity Frocks on July 28, 2010

If you're new here, WELCOME! You can to subscribe to my RSS feed or by email. Go ahead! Get Smockity every day. It's FREE!

One of my most favorite things about the new Chevy Malibu is the remote start!

On scorchingly hot summer days (are there any other kind in Texas?) I love that I can start the car from inside the house or the grocery store and it will be cooling off before I even get in!

The car remains locked and the engine can not be engaged until I get in and place the key in the ignition, so there is no chance of some young hoodlum jumping in and taking off before I get there.

And wouldn’t that be something that would happen to me? Why, yes I can picture it now. But, alas! Picturing it is all I will have to do because Chevy has made sure that can’t happen. And I would like to thank them for that. Because I hate being on the six o’clock news.

You know what I don’t hate, though? Being interviewed on Good Morning, Texas! That’s right! Smockity made it to the small screen! Check it out!

Training Little Children for Church

July 26, 2010

 

I have been asked a few times how I train my little children to sit quietly in church. 
Before I answer that, I would like to state for the record that I am not a licensed psychologist, doctor, or plumber. The methods we use within our family work for our family (most of the time) and [...]

Beesilk Dry Skin Care

July 25, 2010

I was recently contacted by Renee at MadeOn Hard Lotion to ask if I would like to try one of her hand made lotion bars. She calls it “beesilk” and for good reason!
She makes the bars with beeswax, shea butter, and coconut oil, so they are all natural. The bar is softly scented by the beeswax, so [...]

Grocery Shopping in the Chevy Malibu

July 20, 2010

One of my weekly missions as part of the Chevy Mom’s Squad is to take the Chevy Malibu grocery shopping and load up the trunk to show off the trunk space.
I was a little nervous at first to get too many groceries because I didn’t want to get out to the parking lot and find [...]

Stronger Than You Seem

July 19, 2010

Christopher Robin to Pooh: “Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

Me: It’s too harrrrrrrrd! (whine) They want me to do backbends! It hurts my [...]
