5 Essentials for Your Vehicle’s Glovebox

We went to retrieve the owner’s manual this morning and discovered that our vehicle’s glove box was jam-packed with clutter. Sure, we found the manual, but we also found a bunch of random paperwork, that George Strait CD that we thought we lost, the card we were supposed to give to Cousin Lisa last summer at her wedding (is it too late to send it now?), wrappers from a few Snickers bars, a pack of gum, some expired coupons, and more! How did we let this happen?!?! After doing some serious decluttering, we thought that we would share the five most important essentials to keep in your vehicle’s glove box!

Best Raleigh-Area Bakeries

The holiday season is famous for its unending supply of holiday treats. For nearly every event we attend, it is almost expected that we bring something to share. But life happens and we just don’t have time to bake. Or maybe we are better at cooking savory dishes than baking. Or maybe we have a tiny kitchen and baking just isn’t feasible. Whatever the reason you have that you are not able to bake, you can always run to a bakery and pick something up.

Martin Ranch Performance Horses with the RAM 3500
