#Meagoes CAR CHARGER

I don't have 1,000 apps on my phone, but my cell phone battery seems to run out super fast. I don't go anywhere in my car if I don't have a charger with me (just in case).

I also seem to go through a lot of charging cords. This set from Meagoes has a short, flat charging cord that has lasted much longer for me. 

This charger has a blue light that shines so you don't have trouble plugging in the USB cords in the dark. It also has two slots to charge two different devices. This is fabulous for me because I can charge my phone and if I have a passenger, I have a space to offer them as well. Everybody wins.

Here are some specs for all of you tech peeps:

- Input: DC 12-24V; 

- Output(port1): DC 5V, 2.4A; 

- Output(port2): DC 5V, 2.4A; 

- Max Output: 30W, 4.8A; 

- Cable Length: 3.3ft(1M);

This kit is great for your apple products. If you use other Android devices, you can still use the USB charging device, but need another cord. #Meagoes

I was given this product at a discounted price in return for my honest opinion.

#readyforliftoff at THE LEONARDO - GIVEAWAY

Looking for something cool to do if you live in or are traveling through Utah?

Check out The Leonardo Museum's newest exhibit, Flight!

Flight isn't a traveling exhibit like you might have seen at Body Worlds, Mummies of the World, or Dead Sea Scrolls. Instead, it is a semi-permanent exhibit that will be on display for the next few years.

The museum is called The Leonardo and flight was one of Leonardo da Vinci’s biggest passions...so it is only fitting.

Part of the exhibit is a giant C-131 aircraft. The aircraft is so large that they had to take off part of the wall of the building to get it into the museum. It is a real plane the flew military dignitaries just after WWII.

Q:What is cooler than having a giant plane in the museum?

A: Actually being able to climb into the cockpit and push buttons. You can also slide out of the back of it on a giant slide!

You can also see a real-life rocket pack (just like they use in the movies), three hyper-realistic flight simulators provided by Rockwell Collins, and a few additional treats I can't tell you about because I don't want to spoil the surprise. 

HOW CAN YOU SEE THIS NEW EXHIBIT???

They are asking for donations for the museum HERE.

- $5 donation will get you a $13 ticket.

- $30 gets you 4 tickets to the exhibit, bomber hat and goggles, and a treat at the cafe.

- $50 or more gets you 4 tickets to their PRE-OPENING (invitation only) event on August 5, 2016 at 1pm, access to the exhibit before it opens for the general public, tickets to an exclusive paper airplane party (flying airplanes off the top of library square), and you can come watch a real live skywriter.

4TH of JULY in Los Angeles

I'm in L.A. with my Czech family right now which means I get to be in America for the 4th of July which happens to be my second favorite holiday. (Insert happy dance).

The backyard of the house we are staying in has a great view of the Hollywood hills.

I made sure to buy American flag clothing for everyone to wear.

We spent a fun day at the pool

with red, white, and balloon fun.

William is the new grill master and cooked up a yummy BBQ feast.

We ate and listened to some patriotic music.

Then around 8:30PM, fireworks started going off like crazy all across the valley.

I wish you could see the fireworks in this picture better. It was amazing. I have never seen so many firework displays going off at one time all throughout L.A.

We had a great view on top of Mulholland Drive.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA!

#unashamed BOOK from #FlyBy GIVEAWAY

Life is good. It used to be really good. I remember saying I was "luckier than a rabbit's foot." Then I had a rough few weeks and things just didn't seem to get any better. I felt a lot of emotions including: anger, hurt, loneliness, and sadness. I found myself crying sometimes because I don't hate people, but I had a lot of hate in my heart and it was hard for me. But I know life is still good. One bad day (or a couple of bad years) doesn't make a bad life. 

I was given the opportunity to read the book Unashamed: Healing Our Brokenness and Finding Freedom from Shame by Heather Davis Nelson. She is a writer, counselor, and speaker.

and speaker.

This book offers hope for those struggling under the burden of shame. It talks about the things that leave us feeling worthless and rejected and reminds us that God promises to forgive and help us through tough times. The book helped me remember that God loves us no matter what. Shame is everywhere and we will ALL experience it, but we can overcome it. 

You can purchase this book in kindle or paperback versions HERE. It is an easy read with 192 pages. Do you want to win a copy of this book for yourself or someone you know who might need a little extra hope? Enter on the form below:
