So in an effort to help
What I'm really hoping is that in a couple of months I'll have found so many ways to streamline my life that I'll just be one walking commercial for perfect mommy-ness. Or maybe just perfect person-ness. Doesn't matter what I call it, it ain't going to happen, people. But I will try my best.
So to that note, I bring you car organization. Or at least organization of the millions and billions of toys/papers/cups/crayons/books/stuffed animals/bags/dolls/rocks/flowers and everything else that Noodle and Nugget bring into my car on a daily basis. Ugh.
Most of the time my car looks like this:
And often, like this:
But today my car looks like this:
Did you notice how you can totally see the floor? Awesome, right?
See that thing in between the car seats? Kind of rectangular, metal handles, reddish in color? Here, try this angle:
That, friends, is from here on to be known as The Thing That Saved My Car. It's a box. Or maybe a basket. Made of canvas. With handles. And a zipper top. And I love it.
I simply took all of Noodle's and Nugget's
Just for the record, though, once they are there they still have to find a way to wedge themselves between the car seat and the booster seat. It's a basket, not a miracle machine.
So, I found this little gem at Target (my most favoritest store in the world). And the best part is that it was only $10. I just saved my car and my sanity for $10. I heart Target.
So is it working? You best believe it is! I've had this little system going for 5 days, and my car has next to nothing on the floor. I'm loving it so much I'm trying to think of other things I can put in one of these things. Car emergency kit? Sewing kit for me in all my noncraftyness (probably a bad choice)? Changes of clothing and sunblock for swim lesson days?
What would you use it for?
It is craZy how quickly a car can get messy with kids. Thanks for the tip.
