What do you carry in your car day-to-day with kids? It really depends on how big your car is and how much room you might have…and how organized you are. I have been adding and subtracting from my van each year and seasonally. I’d love to hear your ideas of helpful car-hints.  I stay organized for a whopping 5 minutes each season when I re-organize the car.

Year Round:

• Kleenex
• Small trash can (as if this matters…)
• Hand wipes
• Hand sanitizer
• Band-aides
• Neosporin
• Sunscreen
• Kids Benadryl
• First Aid Kit (but, this is so skimpy…a store-bought little box)

For the Summer I add some things:

• Apis (Homeopathic Remedy for Bee Stings)
• Water
• Swim Bag: Towels, Suits, goggles, sunscreen, flip-flops
• Folder with plain paper, markers & pencils
• Tennis Bag: tennis requests, tennis balls
• Golf Bags: clubs, gloves, sunscreen, water (golf stuff is so huge, it only comes in once a week)
• Soccer Ball
• Park stuff: frisbee, football
• Leash, dog water bowl

When we travel in the car:

• Snacks
• Lap desks
• Cards & travel games
• More water

What are some helpful or cool things you like having in your car?

Happy Almost Summer 🙂
