Giving Myself the Gift of Peace of Mind

This post brought to you by Zubie. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you follow me on Facebook, you know that this has been a MAJOR MILESTONE week in our home.  My oldest child is DRIVING!!!!  She got her learner's permit and, while I am being a really good sport about it on the surface, I am secretly freaking out.  Sure, she has to have either me or my husband in the car with her NOW, but in six short months she'll have a level of freedom that she's never had before.  Not to mention, the most expensive item we own as a family -- our car -- in her hot little hands.  I trust her.  I do.  She's a great kid, and very responsible, but still.  It's a lot to deal with as a parent.  Luckily, we're not it alone any more, you and I, like our parents used to be.  We have Zubie.

What's Zubie, you ask?    Watch this:

So, I feel good about being able to monitor my daughter's driving remotely.  That should be lots of fun -- for us both.  But there's also this -- the maintenance aspect.  My husband and I are NOT mechanically inclined.  I have often wished I could read my car's mind and know what it wanted from me before it had a total meltdown.  Now I have Zubie for that, too! It will alert me to car problems, like a Check Engine light or a dying battery, before they leave me stranded.  Zubie will tell me what the Check Engine light means {in plain English} so I can avoid unnecssary trips to the shop and save a little cash.  If I do have to take the car in, I will know what needs to be looked at, how serious the problem might be, and have an idea of what I should expect to pay.  That kind of information is priceless.

I think Zubie would make an awesome Christmas gift for those car lovers, tech heads, families of teen drivers and anyone who drives.  Right now use code SAVE20DEC and SAVE 20% on your Zubie Key plus one year of service. {Offer good through January 31, 2013. Shipping charges apply. }  It's a gift that will keep on giving all year long.  I will be receiving a key to test out Zubie and will share my experiences with you in a couple of upcoming posts.  I cannot wait to see how the real-time location tracking and alerts work and learn how we can improve our driving as a family.  2014 is going to be an exciting year in the Gregson home!
