2013 Chevy Malibu Review – #ChevyMalibu
mommymatter in Product Reviews - 3 comments - posted on Nov 13th, 2012There are some vehicles that are great while others that are not. MommyMatter.com had the luxury of testing out the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu to determine if this vehicle was apart of the great group or the ‘not’ group. Being a family that owns larger sized vehicles we knew we’d be very critical instantly of the Malibu. We know cars can be designed to be small but big at the same time, and this was something we were really hoping we’d experience with the Malibu. First things first, if you’re used to driving a larger sized vehicle watch your head. For … Continue reading

mommymatter in Get Inspired: Making a Difference - 1 comment - posted on Nov 1st, 2012This is a charity I heavily support whether through donations or just telling anyone and everyone I know all about. I have participated in promoting and accepting donations for Movember now for 4 years, and love how awesome it is! Raising Movember Awareness is huge. It is the one awareness month dedicated to men and one of the very few there is.

He at … Continue reading

I put these cabbage rolls together first thing in the morning and let them do their slow … Continue reading
A Banana a Day Keeps the Mosquitos Away
mommymatter in For the love of food - 6 comments - posted on Jun 11th, 2012Okay, I can’t prove that my title is politically correct or even true, but with the mosquitos out pestering our evenings, it is the perfect excuse to get my children to eat more bananas and it works.

Since bananas are not something I enjoy the texture of when they go rip, bananas don’t get ate in my home once they are past that delicious still slightly green stage. This quickly had us on the hunt for many banana recipes so we … Continue reading
