Cruising into the DFW Auto Show with Safety on my Mind

This is the year my son learns to drive. Insert gulp here. And with that is a bevy of thoughts. Is our current car the right car for a new driver? Is it safe? You know, "safe enough for Momma"-safe. Can we afford the insurance? Do we need a new car? And back again to safety. My son will be on the road very soon, toosoon for this momma's heart.

Do you have teens on the road?

With my mind spinning, it seemed no better time than to join my girlfriends at A Girl's Guide to Cars in visiting the 2019 DFW Auto show. We will be getting first-hand insight to the latest & greatest vehicles features and you know that my ears will be fully perk-ed with every safety option!

***FULL DISCLOSURE: This post is written in partnership with A Girl’s Guide to Cars. All opinions are my own. It is my Universe, after all. ****

So next week, I will head up the good, old I-45 to Dallas with my questions. To get these answers first hand, I am happy to make the drive. And doing it alongside some of the most in-the-know crew of A Girl's Guide to Cars will make it all the more fun!
