How Often Do You Change Your Oil? (Giveaway!!)

When my truck needs an oil change, it reminds me with a message on my dash.  I appreciate the reminder, because I'm sometimes terrible about remembering the schedule for oil changes!

My truck is reminding me right now that I'm getting close to needing an oil change.  So, I found it interesting that I received some information from the site -- MotorOilMatters.org -- that provides excellent information about what you should look for in an oil change!  At the site, you can even find a downloadable PDF checklist that gives you tips about what you should look for when getting your oil changed.

I know that I often blindly trust the mechanics that change my oil.  I have no idea what viscosity oil my truck needs -- but after reading through the materials, I am going to look in my owners manual to find out!  I really shouldn't leave it up to them and/or Bo to make sure my truck is well taken care of.

When's the last time you had your oil changed?  The folks from MotorOilMatters.org have generously offered to provide one of my readers with a $50 gift card so they can get an oil change!  Check out their site and leave a comment below with one fact that you learned to be entered into the giveaway.  You can earn a second entry by liking my blog's Facebook page or the MotorOilMatters Facebook page.  (www.facebook.com/mylittlepatchofsunshine or www.facebook.com/motoroilmatters)  Just leave a second comment letting me know that you "liked" the page and which page you "liked."

I'll let random.org choose a winner on July 31, 2013!  Be sure to leave an email address so I can contact you.

Another Coppertone Summer!

I'm happy to say that we are an official Coppertone Family again this year!

Living in Arizona, sun protection is important year round!  We love the Coppertone products and I loved the selection of lotions we received.

This year, we are headed to the National Stuttering Association National Conference right here in Arizona!  We're staying at the beautiful Westin Kierland Resort, and I know we will use plenty of sunscreen enjoying those pools!  I will be packing extra to share with our NSA friends as well.

We spend plenty of time in our pool, and unless the sun is down, the kids all know to slather on the sunscreen lotion!  I like the pleasant scent of the Coppertone products and I especially love the sticks for easy application on everyone's face and tips of ears.

If you're headed out in the sun, don't forget your sunscreen!
