This Mom is in Time Out

July 20, 2010

I have a secret.

Last Wednesday, I was officially put in “Time Out.”  Shut off from everything except leather seats, XM radio, and a sun roof.

Leather seats, XM radio, and a sun roof?  Rachel, have you gone mad?

Nope.  Not mad.  Not insane.

Just sittin’ pretty in a Chevy Malibu!

Love this Car!

A few weeks ago, I was asked to be one of three Houston moms to take part in the Gotta Love Chevy – Mom’s Time Out program.  That’s right — Chevy is the party responsible for my time out.  My time on a comfy leather seat . . . listening to my favorite XM radio Broadway show-tunes . . .  the sunroof open.  (insert contented sigh here)

How did Chevy know my favorite car color is silver? Geniuses.

This opportunity couldn’t have come at a better time — it’s nice to have a little pampering, especially when it’s coming in the form of a car!

Over the next month — yes, sadly this experience will only last a month — I’ll be using the Chevy Malibu as I go about my day-to-day activities: grocery shopping, doctor’s appointments, taking Max to the groomers.  But I’ll also be exploring Houston’s streets and local businesses and sharing those experiences here (as well as on the “Official” Gotta Love Chevy – Mom’s Time Out site).

Am I excited? Heck, yes!

Am I letting Hubby get behind the wheel? Heck, NO!!

(This is my car. . . you better step back, boy!)

Don’t worry — I’m not the only Mom who has the chance for a little pampering!  If you are a Houston mama who needs some time to herself, take a second to swing by the Facebook page for Gotta Love Chevy – Mom’s Time Out.

  • There are DAILY prize giveaways now through August 5th
  • There’s an AWESOME Mom’s Time Out sweepstakes to the WaterColors Inn & Spa in Florida
  • Plus, you can get more info on how YOU can get a free 1-hour massage from Houston’s Massage Envy (just for test driving a Malibu)!

p.s. Stay tuned for how I showed Hubby the Malibu is NOT an excuse for getting out of his “honey-do” list!

Rachel & Malibu: Score 1 . . .  Hubby: Score O

Disclosure: Chevy is allowing me the use of the Malibu for one month but they are not paying me for my posts; any stated opinions are my own and reflect my personal experiences with the Chevy Malibu.
