The first car my husband and I leased after our first son was born was a Honda CRV.  The day we picked it up, before we even signed the paper work, Blake spit up all over the back seat of the car.  We figured that was a sign of good luck ans Blake was giving his own special approval to the car.  We started our journey as parents in that car – trips to the doctor, going to see family, pictures with Santa and the Easter Bunny, and so much more.  Well we aren’t the only people that have been able to Start Something Special with Honda.  Mairead and Kevin are part of a family that owns over 20 Honda vehicles and they asked their local dealer to borrow three black CR-Vs for their wedding day. Honda heard about the unique request and decided to kick things up a notch and sent eight CR-Vs to their wedding filled with surprises.

The band from their first date, an Irish dancing troupe, gifts from their registry, and even relatives from Ireland were flown in to take part in the special day.  The emotional video shows what this gesture from Honda meant to the bridge, groom, and the rest of their family.  What does your Honda mean to you and how has it been part of you and yours Starting Something Special? Follow the #StartSomething conversation on Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter and Vine, where fans are encouraged to share stories about what Honda means to them. All stories will be collected at HondaStories.com.

When I had my first son I learned quickly that nothing around the house was safe from his reach hands.  If his hand could grab hold of something it would end up in his mouth, in his food, in his toy box, thrown, dropped, or dunked.  For most things this wasn’t a big deal, but for television remotes, jewelry, and my iPhone this was something I tried to avoid.  My iPhone didn’t respond well to being abused and it showed.  After a little over two years of abuse by my son my phone was cracked, the home button didn’t function, the power button was useless, the screen would go blank, and voice controls just came on whenever they wanted.

For my new iPhone 5 I played things a bit different and picked up a LifeProof case which does more than make my phone prettier.  The LifeProof case protect my phone from my 3 year old and my six month old boys.  Baby slobber can’t damage my home button, my three year old can’t run over the phone with his monster trucks, and I can break the screen by sitting on my phone after forgetting I left it on my seat while changing a diaper.  The case doesn’t alter my speaker phone, doesn’t create a big bulky phone that is uncomfortable to use, and can easily survive a dip in the toilet or bathtub.   For your chance to a LifeProof and Best Buy prize back upload a video to Instagram showing how Lifeproof your case it – http://showyourproof.contestcore.com/

Good Luck!

Between my husband and I, we have 15 first cousins and its hard to keep track of them all, with all of them living in other countries – mine in South America and his in Europe – so with the help of Skype  – http://skypestaytogether.com  – our family has been able to meet the newest addition to our family.

When I was asked to do this post, I had realized that I hadn’t touched base with my cousins in Venezuela in quiet sometime, so last night I had set up a Skype chat.

You sort of forgot that you are a few thousand miles away from each other. My three year old was in all sort of excitement when he realized that he was talking to one of his great-aunts.  While Lil B was trying to speak Spanish, I could not help but become a little bit emotional.  With life getting in the way and now two kids later, my hubby and I hadn’t had the time nor the money to visit our distant relatives, but with a free download, we are now able to “visit” our relatives with just a click of a button, anytime of the day.

How do you stay together with family and friends using Skype? Check out http://skypestaytogether.com/ and the video below to see how one other family stays connected.
