Driving 101.
I thought I would share a helpful driving tip that I've figured out along the way. Driving with a toddler can or used to be a stressful thing for me. I'm naturally a stress case in general so it doesn't take much. And its my first kid. I guess when its your second you let them scream? hmmm...still cant see myself doing that? Anyways, the car used to feel very unorganized and that didn't help my stress levels. So here it is....I put a basket at the foot of "Easy". Its filled with must have items! Let me tell you...its been a life saviour! I keep it stocked with snacks, diapers, wipes, pacifier, a extra change of clothes, sunblock, toys, etc. I LOVE it! This has been a learning process for me (you know, having a kid and all) and I ran out of diapers out in public or lost the pacifier somewhere along my errand route. Its not fun. It brought my stress level up a notch for sure! So I recommend every mom get a basket and fill it with extra goodies and must haves. I don't know? Maybe this is common sense? Maybe everyone already does this? I not to long ago figured it out with the help of my mom. So here it is. The basket tip, just in case someone doesn't tell you.

so sweet (The photo). My Tom-Tom will do anything to get me to read a book.
My "purse" (AKA mom bag) is my special "basket." *LAUGH* Sometimes when I go out by myself and I've forgotten to switch over to my real purse I get rather embarrassed when I realize I'm by myself carrying around a "Winnie The Pooh Baby" bag.
I need to do this in an organized way! I just have toys and stuff everywhere!
Our kids sound similar! I also bought one of those travel size magnadoodle things and when I put him in his seat I ask him to draw something related to where we are going. All the scribbly lines look the same but it keeps him occupied and happy for a bit.
