A not at all comprehensive list of things currently in my Mom Van

 

I should be horrified by the current contents of my mini van. But really, right now: I’m just impressed. I mommed hard with two kids in a Honda Civic for 3.5 years before we fell for the siren call of the mini van.

“Look at all that cargo space!” I exclaimed to the salesman when I discovered the winning van. We’re really putting it to the test at the moment.

Here’s a not at all comprehensive list of things currently in my Mom Van:

  • stroller wagon

  • scooter

  • balance bike

  • bike with training wheels

  • tricycle (borrowed from a friend for the kid who has mastered the balance bike but needs to learn how to pedal the bike with training wheels)

  • a blue helmet with dinosaur stickers on it

  • a pink unicorn helmet that my daughter refuses to take off once it’s on

  • picnic blanket and towels

  • two extra kid outfits

  • hair brush

  • my Tired Moms Social Club hat (for when the hair brush doesn’t save me)

  • first aid kit

  • somewhere between 12 and 47 backup diapers (just in case!)

  • two leaves that my son discovered and needed to add to his collection

  • three water bottles

  • a pair of kid shoes

  • emesis bags (for the barfer in the family)

  • emergency bars

  • sun hats and several kinds of sunscreen

  • cord that connects my phone so I can listen to the Armchair podcast… or, let’s face it: probably Kidz Bop

  • my Kindle for reading while kids play at the park…. hahahaha wow, I’m such an optimist

Should probably take some me time this weekend to clean out and vacuum the car…
