Buzzed Driving IS Drunk Driving! Stay Safe This Halloween!

Tweet

Share

Halloween means dark streets full of little kids distracted by candy and costumes. That makes it especially important to start planning a safe and sober ride home from whatever fun you'll be having that night - so your evening doesn't turn into a real nightmare.

Whether at a Halloween party, a costume contest at a bar or trick-or-treating through the neighborhood, many of us will be on the road this weekend. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ad Council are reminding everyone that the best way to stay safe is to plan ahead and designate a sober driver before you head out for your Halloween festivities.

Here is some helpful information to keep you safe:

 Designated Driver Drink List - One of the most important things you can do before going out is designate a sober driver. If you're throwing a Halloween party, make sure to offer non-alcoholic drinks for the sober drivers. We've compiled a Facebook tab with 50 non-alcoholic party drink recipes.

Alternative Ride Locator - A Facebook tab with a list of nationwide alternative ride programs that can help keep you safe.

 Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving website - You can sign a pledge not to drink and drive; play "Spot the Difference," an interactive game that simulates the effects of buzzed driving; and watch a real-life video about how buzzed driving changed one woman's life.

Please be safe this Halloween! Think ahead and make a plan for yourself or someone you love!

Gearing Up for the Holidays: Kidz Gear Review & Giveaway

Tweet

Share

With the holidays fast approaching, that usually means that there is going to be a lot of traveling being done. Since my hubs is in the military, we don't live close to family. We drive 10 hours to visit family. We make that trip every Christmas.

That drive with a 4 and 5 year old can sometimes be unbearable! They have their DVD players in the back and watch movies the whole trip. The only problem is, is that husband liked to listen to the radio. So, it ends up being a battle with the volumes!

Kidz Gear has solved that problem for me!

About the company:

Kidz Gear is about delivering a line of products and accessories with adult product features, performance and quality levels, but available at a price-point in-line with products for children.

As many parents have, I too have purchased “toy” products for my children: headphones, binoculars, flashlights — only to find they were poorly manufactured, using substandard if not even dangerous components and materials. Obviously, I was tired of purchasing toys and could not afford to give my children my “adult” versions of these products. I decided there was a need to meet in the middle with high-quality, fully functional and ergonomically designed products that are value-priced and in the sizes and styles kids will love! Thus the birth of Kidz Gear:

Grown-Up Performance, Built For Kids!

I invite you to check out all of our exciting new products and give us your feedback on any of the items or information you may find.

Thank you,
Laurie Peterson
Founder, Mom

I received the wireless headphones for review. These are the greatest things EVER! I am in love with this idea! Not only can I put these in the car for the DVD player, but I can also put them inside on the TV! 

I've had these in our office. My little one likes to sit in the office with me during the day and watch TV while I blog. Sometimes trying to type and having the TV blaring is frustrating. Once I hooked the headphones up, it was wonderful! I could work and he could watch TV with either of us bothering the other!


The headphones fit very nicely on his head. Not too big and not too small. The volume button was easy for him to use. 


Hook up was also very simple! All I did was plug the IR Transmitter into the wall and in the cable box, put a couple batteries into the headphones, turn them on, and BAM!, they were on and the room was quiet! Such a great product!

Since the ones I received were wireless, I didn't have to worry about him moving around and pulling all the electronics onto the ground. So super nice! Also, I got a carrying bag to carry the headphones and IR Transmitter in. 

It is $16.99 for the WIRED headphones and $29.99 for the WIRELESS headphones (IR Transmitter sold separately).

We are so excited to be featuring Kidz Gear that we've given you MORE chances to win! This giveaway is sponsored by Kidz Gear and hosted on two blogs: The Life of a Coast Guard Wife and  Mom to Bed by 8.  Visit each blog for more chances to win. Kidz Gear is giving away TWO headphones!
