Giveaway: WIN a FREE Drive Safer Code for your Teenager- for Sunday May 19th at Met Life Stadium!

Giveaway: WIN a FREE Drive Safer Code for your Teenager- 

for Sunday May 19th and June 9th at Met Life Stadium

When I think of teenagers and driving sometimes it just gives my stomach a big knot! I know first hand what it's like to have a new driver behind the wheel. My son has recently started driving and I am always worried about it. Thanks to a new program I recently heard about, maybe my thoughts can ease up just a little! The Mahwah-based company, Drive Safer, offers a focused car control course that teaches drivers how to control their vehicles in the face of real world situations. The programs are designed to be safe, educational and fun. The course consists of a classroom session including tech education, followed by the experiential driving course that features four “behind the wheel” exercises (Braking, Slalom,Skidpad and Hazard Avoidance) with certified high-performance driving instructors in a safe, controlled environment.

With motor vehicle accidents being the # 1 killer of teens nationwide – more than drugs, homicides and suicides combined, and the CDC reporting 11 teens die EVERY DAY due to motor vehicle accidents, we clearly have an issue on our hands and the best way to address it is to take a proactive approach. The cause of these horrific statistics stem from a system that was created SIXTY years ago and simply does not fully prepare young drivers for all the potential road dangers they will face today. Check them out on facebook here.

The inaugural Drive Safer event will be held on Sunday, May 19th at MetLife Stadium with every high school student that registers for the May 19th course will get 12% of the fee returned to their school towards its fundraising budget.

GIVEAWAY: Email me at ELGeorgia@aol.com with SAFE DRIVER in the subject line. You will only hear back from me if you WIN! Winner chosen on Friday, May 17th at 6pm and notified by email. Please be sure you are available on May 19th to come to Met Life Stadium! I also have a discount code for 20 percent off!

CODE-DS3D3K2013 Code good until June 9th. Event is held May 19th AND June 9th!

I Have No Mother For Mother's Day :(

I Have No Mother For Mother's Day :(

Personal Post

This was taken in Epcot 3 weeks before my mom passed away.

Happy Mother's Day! For most of us it's a pretty good day. I still enjoy it. My three children always put a smile on my face Mother's Day or not! I try not to dwell on the fact that my mom lives in Heaven and I live here on Earth, but when Mother's Day comes around it really ignites so deep and sad feelings.

A few years ago, it would be what I called a pretty bad year. Although I am always thankful for the small things, it was a year filled with sickness, car accidents, and death. I think that it's never easy when it comes to your mom and losing her. Being an only child made it pretty rough. It was pretty shocking, too. Considering I left her in the hospital one week after her knee replacement and spoke to her at 9pm on the phone to say goodnight. My last words to her were "Call me if you can't sleep, since they cut off the hospital phones after 9pm for call ins...Love you..". That was the last time I spoke to her. When the phone rang at 11:30pm- two and a half hours after talking to her, of course I assumed it would be her on the phone. It was pretty shocking to answer the phone and have a doctor on the other end of the line. When it comes to manners, I think sometimes some doctors need a little extra schooling. Within one minute into the conversation I was informed that my mother passed away suddenly and was pronounced dead minutes before the call. 

My heart sank and my life changed forever. 

Meanwhile my husbands mother, my mother in law was also in the hospital and had been since her surgery.

Nine weeks after my own mother passed away, my mother in law passed away. My husband and I had both lost our moms and my three children had lost their both grandmothers within 9 weeks of each other. Not to mention that a few later our family dog, Muffin passed away.

So this Mother's Day I will celebrate and I will be thankful for the time I had with both my mother and mother in law. If your mom is still here, give her a hug from me...since I can't give my own mom one.

Happy Mother's Day to ALL the Moms, Grandmas, Godmothers, and women in our lives.

Celebrate the love...hugs and happiness...Diane xo
