With Christmas plans well underway many of us will be taking road trips to visit friends and family. If you’re like me you plan ahead for the road trips your family takes. I do my best to plan the shortest route, pit stops and games to keep the children occupied before the boredom drives us all crazy. Here in South Central Ontario taking road trips in December often means driving in poor weather conditions which is a whole other aspect of planning. We pack extra warm clothing, blankets, food, ...

CAA Gift Membership – A Fab Christmas Gift #CAASCO
I grew up in a small town and back then winters were brutal. We walked to school in snow up to our hips, uphill both ways.....ok I’m exaggerating but the snowfall was greater than it is today and my father commuted over an hour to Toronto for work each day.

This is one sexy vehicle, its hybrid badge shows prominently on the side, letting people know you care about the environment. The Escalade Hybrid starts at $95 405 and while I'd love to purchase one, the reality is that it's out of my price range. I ...
Ford #blueParty
Recently Ford Canada held The Blue Party where they unveiled the new 2013 Ford Escape, Shelby GT500, Taurus SHO and Focus ST.

Thank you so much to Ford Canada for allowing AerynLynne to experience your new lineup and tell my readers about your event. Next time ...
